[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 53748, member: 2708"] This is not what Patrick told me. He said that after having problems with the Grosset sprag type starter he had come up with the adaptation of the Harley starter to the Vincent design himself and had spent a great many hours doing so. I have a 2011 email from him in which he describes the way the new starter works and then states that "his technology is only for his customers" meaning someone who is buying an entire bike rather than just cases, as I required. Prior to this email he was willing to sell the cases, but that changed when he saw that my bike was somewhat Egli like. If Francois Grosset did in fact design this and is producing a Bendix type starter for Vincents, then there are a good number of us who would be very interested in t. know Chris Kleps had John McDougall install a Grosset starter on his Egli at least a year after the correspondence I had with Patrick Godet.
