F: Frame Who paints Vincent petrol tanks and how much ?
- Thread starter kerry
- Start date
My tank is being done at the moment, apparently you can choose waterslides or vinyl ones which are supposed to be easier to fit, I am keeping my fingers crossed because the last ones I had done did bubble a bit, any bubble is too much, everyone I know has struggled with water ones. classic transfers give very good guidance/instructions and are very helpful, If mine bubble we will try the vinyl next, watch this space !

Ha ha, that reminds me of a story I need to tell..... I was down in WA. state at one of the swap meets years and years ago and guess who I run into ? Dave Eady of the Seattle Cossacks. Anyways, we're talking and he say's he wants to show me something on his bike. He's got his old Big Twin Flathead Harley down there with him. He says do I see anything unusual, and after looking for a few seconds I point out that there are two petcocks on the one right side gas tank. He says good and pulls out a little shot glass, aims it under the petcock and turns it on and out pours an amber fluid. He says "check it out !" I take a whiff and then take a sip. It's Bourbon ! One more for the road I says Please ! Anyways, true story. And, what a Great Guy <3
I have used Ultimate bike paint in Keynsham, not a classic specialist, but will do all sorts.
He did a very nice job on my Commando

My experience with Vincent tanks is limited to series D but wouldn't there be a problem fitting a C tank with clearance for the rear carb, it being on the left and normally a Monobloc?
