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.

Matching at last

The new air filter arrived but it was the wrong size!!.....tuff it was going on so i had to turn this little bell mouth to take the play up.
There you go matching filters and a bit bling thrown in.
The seat arrived on friday but i did not like the size of the mounts,cut down the original and made 2 S/S ones for the frame,got to be an inch lower now.
I was humming and haring about the throttle and levers,in the end i went for original British type throttle and black levers,dunno why it just felt right for me.
