almost done

except to button a few things up. Ran into a top end oiling problem but it does run. Still to come are signal lights to pass legal specs and assorted finishing things but here it is. It was a long haul and a lot of tv dinners but i think i'm happy about the overall project. Hope you like it too.

Re: almost done

Turned out very well man, really dig it! This is one that is even better close up as all the detail really shows.

Re: almost done

Enfields had there own engines. They are a wet sump engine and dimensionaly quit abit bigger than the other brit.Stop by and take a look if you want. It's not a popular bike to build actually. I've scoured the net looking for enfield chops and there are only a few out there what i can see. Most enfields out there are 500 bullets which are still been made today but in India. I believe enfields are the oldest motorcycle company starting in 1899 i believe. Starting as a bicycle company, armourments, and everything else under the sun.
