I too, have been following this string of videos, always wanted a Vincent, never have had the opportunity. Thanks for showing these details!

Learned a lot about these Vincents over the past 7 years. Had even bought a Revell 1:12 scale model of a Black Shadow (Series C) to build back in 2012 & have yet to build it. Thanks to channels like your's... i now feel that as my 9 year old grandson & i build the model together there will be even more depth and insight of the bikes innerworking's that we can both share as we build it together. First physical site of one, was when i'd dropped off my '68 650 Trophy Sports TR6R DU69160 @ Big D Cycle in early 2012 for a complete restoration. The Vincent's make for a permanante change in any rider, just by their presence. 12218

What sort of condition are the springs in?

54macdog Hi, I haven’t looked at them yet. I need to spend a bit of time comparing them with some other springs that I have. At first glance it looks like there may be some wear. Change, Mike
