[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 122090, member: 456"] [I]and no amount of springs will prevent this [/I] That is not quite right Vic. Several years ago Dick Sherwin fitted an Australian ESA to his 90 bore Black Knight which had a sidecar fitted. These ESAs have more springs than the standard Vincent one. After several months the ESA was taken apart and despite the fact that the bike plus sidecar had done several thousand miles there was only wear right at the bottom of the ESA cams. The ESA had not been getting anywhere near to the top of the cam profiles. A couple of springs were taken out and more movement was obtained. The cam profiles were very similar to the original Vincent ones. [/QUOTE]
