Before you head out to sin city and roll the dice on a Vincent that you have never heard run, do not know the last time it did run and not to mention a proper test ride before the purchase of a very expensive bike give us a call to see what we can do to get you on a documented matching numbers Vincent that has been fully restored and is ready to show or go. No surprises and we stand behind our work. A cheap Vincent can be very expensive in the long run.

Our next restoration is a Black Shadow loaded with all the updates. Speet front brake, stainless rims, 21” front, Avon Roadrider tires and all stainless steel hardware. We try to use only the best components on each bike we build.

A few photos showing small details on the 51 Shadow. Correct Exide battery terminals, Miller stop light with correct numbers, NOS Miller headlight and harness, Lucas horn with proper date code. NOS Lucas horn and kill buttons, NOS Amal control levers, NOS Feridax locking throttle, Dunlop rims with plated spokes and ni***es, real gold leaf on gas tank, NOS period tip over bar in chrome and all cad plated hardware. Awaiting correct speedo to come back from rebuilder so we can swap out the replacement speedo on bike now. Need to ride it this weekend and it should be ready for new home. Once again we got a little carried away. Contact us for information.
