The bike kinda builds itself,
all I do is put it together.

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.

Cut and thrust

Whats that for then???

I see,handy for lifting an Enfield up onto a welding jig!!!

Its MAKITA time,back end gone in the blink of an eye...

Back end in jig with false swinging arm to line things up...


Now comes the hard bit,bend 2 top rails and mill the back of them to sit in rear wheel hanger...


Not to bad even if i say so myself..


Plenty to weld to,i need to cover this section with a plate to mount the tank and a rubber insulator...

Top rails ready to weld in place...
