[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 132383, member: 597"] I guess everyone has to work out what works for them........My take on it is that if you give people some options they will generally get it wrong, because they don't know what is right or wrong........How many Vincent's out there have poor brakes and yet the owners seem to live with it. I prefer to carry out the entire front end re work myself rather than let others finish the assembly themselves, as some of the ones I've seen have been completely wrong........I have found that all the springs that I have installed have needed to be cut shorter by about 20 to 25 mm in overall length to stop it from being topped out.
