[QUOTE="Mike T, post: 95375, member: 3314"] Brilliant! Thank you Bill. I will do that. Thanks for your kind comments about the vids, etc. I love making them and it's a ton of fun. They keep me honest and I do my very best to respect the tradition of the bike and observe the correct maintenance procedures. I spend a lot of time researching each process. I'm also keenly aware that there is a community of some incredibly talented and knowledgeable Vincent owners who can probably do what it takes me hours to do in no time! I'm also really lucky in having some very talented Vincent friends here who have been so helpful with the refurbishment. I can't wait until I will be able to take videos from onboard the bike, riding it around the Oregon countryside. It's a lot like England in some ways. Yes, the red lift is just a cheapo lift from a hardware store called 'Harbor Freight' here in the US. The quality of some of their tools is a little questionable (i.e. some are a one-time use only, ha ha), but the basic stuff is very cheap & just fine.
