Velocette Specials

 

Dave Reid at Cadwell on the Buchany Velo. The bike  has Kevin’s clutch and belt drive kit, rear wheel alloy hub and alloy fork yokes fitted. These items contributed to a massive weight saving programme, from 385 to 283lbs! The belt is still performing after 4 seasons’ racing, without replacement.

Dear Kevin,

 

Thank you very much for supplying one of your superb Thruxton cylinder heads and rocker boxes for use on the Big Velo, these are of the highest possible quality and should allow me to finally enlarge the ports enough for the heavily supercharged engine without compromising strength and reliability.

I would highly recommend them to fellow Velo enthusiasts.
