Very neat job and project. Like the use of the Comet 44 torque converter. Subscribed.

That is fantastic. I had the privilege of owning a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Military Edition as my first motorcycle. It was an older iron barrel, and I never could get the drum brakes working like I'd like, so I sold it and made some money in the process.
However, I've always wanted another one. The other day the wife said I should get one...I'm going to hold her to it. |

WOW!
Great job! I'll have to backtrack and reread this thread! I rode my Enfield to work today. Only getting a lousy 70 MPG ;-)

I'd say the new ones have 99% the charm and 1% the hassles of the old ones. Very affordable and of all my bikes this one is the most, shall I say, pleasant, around town and gets more compliments than even the Ducati.
