Likely no motorcycle has inspired so many workshops (and for so long) to built specials. The Vincent v-twin is on that perspective one of a kind. Indeed when the factory stopped manufacturing motorcycles in 1955, the performances of the Vincent engine were still far ahead compare to any other engines, so very quickly modifications on the Vincent chassis started to appear: brakes upgrades, telescopic front forks, and conventional rear suspensions before the hybridization with competitive rolling frames. Among these, the Norton Featherbed remains the most famous until Fritz Egli presented his new concept in 1967. On this page you will find some of the most famous conversions. You can refer as well to the dedicated pages foreach of them.

Hello, 1 have a original Egli-Vincent Offer from Fritz Egli to me, from 1967 with original Picture from the Zurich-
Exhibition 1967. Any one is interested?
Hi Wolfgang, yes I am. I have some mail from Fritz but is is always interesting to have more as sometimes there are interesting information around the corner. As for the photo I am also interested to get a better resolution that those I have. Could you scan them and sent to 998lightning@gmail.com? Thanks, Philippe
