[QUOTE="Calle, post: 13971, member: 1266"] Hej! (Swedish for hello) I had to write a confession. I never understood how the UFM on the Victor was designed so I used a modified series C oiltank. The tank is modified to suit a series D rear damper and the mounting point for the rear frame. I could once borrow Neville's Shabby Shadow frame and do a fixture so the shock absorber and rear frame mounting point are in the right place. The oil tank came from a Vincent chopper and was so badly destroyed that a restoration to original was nearly impossible (normally I don't modify original Vincent parts). As a matter of fact, the fasting for the rear cylinder head/F 106 was intact. I use the frame as an oiltank and have a series C petrol tank. If somebody have a reasonably priced oiltank for a series D please contact me. If I got a D oiltank I could solder the oilhole in the petrol tank. Because the twins and singles have their RFM mounting points (pivot) located differently both for the height and length, I had to do some brain exercise (I don't exaggerate). A whole lot of measurement had to be done before everything was in its place. In my opinion it is impossible to use an ordinary rear frame from a series D twin on a single (although I have been wrong before). Unfortunately I have been stingy with the camera during the building time, but next week I will try to put some pictures of my Victor on [url]http://www.vincenthrd.se/bilder.php?lang=2[/url] Does anyone know if the original Victor production was ready or was it only for show? For me it is clear that it is impossible to use a twin series D frame on a single without any modifications. I hope you understand what I try to say. Greetings from Sweden Calle [/QUOTE]
