[QUOTE="Nigel Spaxman, post: 164242, member: 2907"] I have a Triumph 750 with 10:1 pistons. At one time I had 10.8:1. It can lift the front wheel in first gear just by a quick twist of the throttle (and pulling back on the bars) I had a lot of trouble with the kickstarter on that one. I had a special kick start lever that was bent to a similar shape to a Vincent one, it was about twice as thick as a normal Triumph lever because when I had a thinner one it bent. I would make my own taper pins from grade 8 bolts. That held but eventually the shaft developed a bend and a twist and some cracks, so I had to install new parts. The shaft is 3/4" diameter hard steel but it still bent anyway. I think this bike needed a 7/8 diameter kick shaft really. [/QUOTE]
