[QUOTE="oexing, post: 122113, member: 1493"] Zero movement would not be a bad thing, if you just want protection for gearbox components. I´d think the Vincent gears are strong enough to not need any protection from an ESA taking into account that there are two chain drives on a Vincent - unlike all gears BMW or Guzzi transmissions. So some protection from harshness is there already. One thing I remember from the Alton ESA pictures is a non-existing bearing bush for the sprocket that one had to add on later or else I´d expect wear in there. But then in case you liked to reduce kangaroo drive mode at very low speeds by having an ESA with a lot more range the Alton will not provide this at all. So you are back at the questionable original - that I´d try to improve a bit with adding some rubber material in place of two or more springs in their holes. Somehow I like the idea now and hope somebody else will test this , can not do much wrong I guess. Vic [/QUOTE]
