[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 102570, member: 597"] Its a difficult one, there are several ideas I have thought of, that if a revised or altered version of a part was made how much better that would be. A small example is look at the slop in the fit of the C5 pins and the 1/2" pivot hole in the standard clutch shoes...........If those C5/1 pins were available in a couple of over sizes, all you would need to do is true up the bore in the clutch shoe to remove all that sloppy play and return the shoe back to service. Of course there is nothing wrong with making small batches of these parts and making them available via MPH or on here, for those who are interested to decide for themselves. To the credit of the VOC Spares co, I guess there is a limit to what they can be expected to provide. There are an infinite amount of improvements we can make to these bikes, that's is one of the reasons it is great to have a forum like this to share these ideas even if the masses don't take notice. A perfect example of that is the new steering stem mod that Timetraveller has provided ........ probably the best single mod and safest you can carry out on any Vincent with Girdraulic forks ........ and that is far, far from ever being installed to all the bikes out there. It is a mandatory mod as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
