The Hitchcock Rigid Conversion

Mission Statement

This blog has been set up as a record of my attempt to build a cool Bobber style bike out of the Royal Enfield Bullet. With the cost of genuine early British and American bikes and parts spiralling upwards in the face of the current global economic climate, building a retro style custom is rapidly becoming cost prohibitive. Initially, there will be a period of accruing parts and information as the bike I intend to re-create is my daily rider.
I have heard so many horror stories about the Indian made Bullet from people who's mate used to have one, that I have lost count. All I can say is that I have covered over 20,000 miles on mine in the last three and a half years, and feel happy that it is quite capable of doing another 20.
So if you like the idea or just curious, you are welcome to come along for the ride.

Flat Track Stylee

Picture from The K Hulsey collection.
It seems that Stateside hardtail Bullets are not a new thing. It is difficult to find information on these flat track Bullets out there on the Hyper Highway, so if anybody can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Lovely looking bike though, it's difficult to make out the forks, there are some that use standard Enfield legs but reversed, so the leading axle becomes trailing. This will have the effect of increasing the trail and therefore stability, maybe giving it a tendency to understeer.
Any more cool pix out there folks?

    Is that a Clothes Dryer tube being used to connect the air filter to the carb?!
