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.

A Bit Of Seat And Speedo Action

  1. Looking good mate! I'm interested in how the speedo cable routing ends up... I have been riding around with no speedo lately until I decide where to put it, looks far better without it on the bars. Is there any way you can can connect the cable elsewhere other than the front wheel?

  2. Peter, On the half width rear hub there is the option of using the old Brit type speedo drive, so it's a short hop from the back wheel to the speedo head in this instance. It's probably possible to adapt the full width hub to take a drive but it'll need looking at.
