[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 140145, member: 597"] I think there is a lot more strength value in a Vincent rear frame than meets the eye.......Not only is the triangulation of all the tubing a major factor, but also the large forward lower section........Yes it is heavy, but it creates a very strong foundation for the tubing that branch out from it.........I've seen footage looking at the back of Honda 750/4 unlimited race bikes racing at Phillip Island, and you can clearly see the terrible wobble in the back wheel almost certainly from the main tubes of the swing arm flexing under heavy cornering and acceleration out of these corners..........I don't think the swing arm on my Featherbed would behave any different, except I don't have 100 plus HP going through it, like these other bikes do, and they are many years younger.
