Vincent All description


This auction is for one high quality, made in England, faithful reproduction of the Miller dip-switch with the  "lighthouse" logo. The poorly made foreign  copies with a pressed steel domed cover are not even close to looking like the correct type that I now have available.  The modern material used has the look and feel of the original Bakelite but without the problems & issues associated with the originals. Made with great care & pride in England,

 made in small batches, so only a limited quantity are available.

This style (D/2) is also fitted to some other high quality British motorcycles from the 1950s which used Miller electrics, such as Velocette & Douglas.


I believe that the Miller 'Lighthouse' Bakelite dip switch was fitted to post-war Vincents up to about 1953.

If correct, than this would make it suitable for Series B and many Series C Rapides, Black Shadows, Comets & Meteors.

Be sure & check your parts book to be sure this is correct for your machine.


Domestic orders will be shipped USPS Priority flat rate, with insurance for the full value of this item.

Payment is due within 24 hours of the auction end.

Foreign deliveries in some countries may take months to arrive, depending on your postal system.Please let me know if you are having a delay in getting your item, but be aware that I have no control of your package once it leaves my hands. The insurance I purchase on the package is only good while the package is in the USA, after that, I can not help.

Video: 180bhp N2O injected Vincent

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

The Greek God Epithemeus - the name of this three-wheeled, 180bhp Vincent record breaker - was the brother of Prometheus. Epithemeus (meaning afterthought) was the creator of many dangerous, ill thought-out beasts. Unlike his dilligent brother, Epithemeus was a bit of a f**kwit who threw everything at his powerful new animal creations with little thought of the consequences. A perfect name, then.

Record Breaking Vincent Black Shadow Is Top Seller At Bonhams Auction

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

A fully restored, ex-works 1952 Vincent Black Shadow was the top selling motorcycle at the Bonhams auction, held at the International Classic Motorcycle Show at the Staffordshire County Showground on Sunday, April 28, selling for £113,500 (US $176,341 after premiums). This Black Shadow was part of the factory’s bid to set a new 24-hour speed record at Montlhéry in France in May 1952. Mechanical troubles prevented that from happening, but the team still came away with eight records, including six hours at over 100 mph.
