"Enfields" Rigid framed Enfield build update

Member "enfield" sent me these two new pictures of his progress. Not to often you see one of these especially in a rigid frame. I have seen this one in person many times as Ted is a very good bud of mine. Taught the kid everything I know! LOL Kidding aside this is truely a rare build and lots of crazy groovy detail.

That's the first Enfield I've seen that wasn't in an Enfield restoration. Original thought, that's a chopper! Very cool!!

Re: "Enfields" Rigid framed Enfield build update

A few latest pics. The velocity stacks i made out of flex exhaust tubing. The trim rim is comming off in the pic but it's in rough stages yet.Shitty stuff to work with.
Front wheel is off a 99 bullet , 19 inch with dual lead brakes. Made a little hub cap out of an old devil dog alarm and the spikey nuts i made in a vise and grinder, then polished. Lots of those nuts thru out the bike. Took forever
Tail lite i made out of a piece of exhaust pipe, my version of limp dick, lens is old truck side marker, Lite body is just posihed.
Pipes are original modified abit.

Re: "Enfields" Rigid framed Enfield build update

Some other little notables, the 'third' lever you see is actually a neutral finder lever. I originaly had a foot lever but i used a cowl vent lever off a 38 ford left over from my hot rod days. Enfields actualy did have a neutral finder from factory. Oh and the shift pattern on this thing is 1 up and 3 down. Tranny case unbolts from the block as a separate unit. Dual
coil bracket i made out of, you guesed it, exhaust pipe.
Fake oil tank is just for ol school look as this motor is a wet sump. Made it from a fire extinquiser. made the cap too out of you know what.The tall spikey nut under the right carb is the oil filter. Filter looks like a tampon without the string. lol.
