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.

The MotoGP circus moves into it's tenth appearance at the Estoril circuit, with the Portugease circuit playing host to a Grand Prix event in each of the previous nine years since the introduction of the four-stroke MotoGP formula at in 2002. Below is a reminder of the highlights of the previous nine MotoGP races held at Estoril: 2002 – Having won the last 500cc GP race at Estoril in 2001, Valentino Rossi (Honda) won the first of the MotoGP races held at the circuit.

Behind the “Bathing Suit” Picture

Fri, 09 Jan 2009

Few motorcycle photographs are as iconic as that of the famous Bonneville “Bathing Suit Picture.” While you have undoubtedly seen this image before, you may not know the story behind it. The scantily clad and debatably crazy rider was a man by the name of Roland “Rollie” Free. The bike, often thought by many to be a Vincent Black Shadow, was in fact a Black Lightning – the fastest Vincent ever to see production.
