[QUOTE="john998, post: 1024, member: 289"] [b]Front brakes.[/b] Hello, I have always felt that nearly every Vincent that I have ridden had better brakes than my own. This disqualifies me by and large from this discussion. That said I once spent a lot of time on a set of front brakes, AM4s turned to fit re-machined drums, stiffened plates, heavier cables, the whole 9 yards. On the road they where an improvement, one race at Cadwell and I was back to normal ie. Passable. The mention of the Kenmore rally, just before my first attendance, called forth a smile. Rab is well described, and both he and George Ramsay will be missed. We do not seem to have produce characters like them now. John. [/QUOTE]
