[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 171562, member: 597"] Hi there Roy, yes thanks for the input.......and for the pics Bill.......cheers........Yes it seems that because the engine in the Egli sits much higher than a stock Vincent the lever travel gets eaten up a bit moreso........this egli is no different........I'm going to drop the lever lower down on the spline and bend the lever so the top of the lever is further out to give the right shin a bit more room, i think any alternative is going to be just as much of a compromise.....Just saw your last post Bill.....thats a great idea.......issue i've got is the back of the kick lever where the FT 99 spring is digs into the front of your leg with your foot on the footrest........so either need to move the kicker lever away or move the rearset.......i think because this bike was set up originally as a racer, the kicker lever was not a consideration........An elec start would be great but I feel the Grosset set up might struggle with this big engine........All good fun.
