Royal Enfield Diesel

I'm back in Oregon for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I went down to Salem and bought a 2008 C5 Military Royal Enfield, there is no engine but everything else is there including shop manuals. The Enfield looks new and there is only 2180 miles on the odometer, $999 seems to be a bargain.
The CL ad is still up today http://salem.craigslist.org/mcd/4714353510.html
This is another one of my dream bikes, I've always wanted a diesel motorcycle and have located a 456cc Yanmar diesel clone (Chinese of course), I'm gathering the parts now and will build this moto in the spring when I return from Ecuador. The build looks fairly easy, I may have to extend the frame and will build a cradle for the engine, to simplify things, I think I'm going to go with a CVT/jackshaft, I'll post photos when the project starts,
