One of the finest custom motorcycles ever built!! True craftsmanship throughout, based on a vintage 1951 Vincent Black Shadow Engine #F10AB/1B/6310 (matching numbers NN79/A22A). The engine and transmission have been meticulously and completely rebuilt to a very high standard by Vincent specialist and world speed record holder, Steve Hamel. Modern era upgrades were made to ensure ease of operation, dependability and lightning like performance. Compression ratio is a modest 8 to 1 wit MK II "lightning" cams, ignition is 12 volt ARD magneto and the carbs are 34MM Mikuni. This a "one kick" engine that runs smooth and strong, true to its heritage. The Redneck Engineering built chassis was designed to be a stylized tribute to Vincent engineering. Just like the original, the engine is utilized as a stressed member, the backbone serves as the oil reservoir and rear suspension (mono-shock) is incorporated, all frame and swing arm tubing is elliptical and tapered from wide to narrow, hand formed (English Wheel) symmetrical dual gas tanks, internal throttle, internal compression release on left grip, limited production forge-wire wheels with Avon tyres, original style "STOP" tail light and tubular component triple clamps with low mount bars. This one of a kind Vincent Special is a rolling, running work of Motorcycle Art, built to be used, routinely ridden to bike nights and special events. It remains in very good condition having covered less than 600 miles since being built, has proven extremely dependable and has been a joy to own.
