Royal Cafe from Bombay

.





Joshua Crasto our pal bike tester and motorcycling journalist from Bombay (India), had a very good idea, to build a cafe racer from the the Royal Enfield Bullet .



The kit is now ready for sale
The idea of the kit was to keep it simple, lose weight (not me, the motorcycle) make it idiot proof and bolt on. Now even a noob can turn a couple of wrenches on the weekend and give his dad's 30 year old motorcycle a facelift. ( that's my dad's '69 ride) The kit includes a number of innovations You'll see them in the fully adjustable handle bar so you can use it no matter what trim your motorcycle is in. And a fork brace (not seen on this model) so you no longer have to kick the fork straight after a bump. Modern spring loaded rear sets, that you don't have to sell your kidneys for, can also be had with the kit. And finally some trick lights that ensure my electronics class in college didn't go to waste. Not to mention that the tank and seat are made in GRP and come with a custom quick-filler-type billet cap.



The kit cost ~ USD 750 excluding shipping which includes
A GRP tank in fibre painted in a stardard colour
Custom billet screw on type gas cap
Petrol tap
GRP seat cowl (I can make them a single seater, or a two seater and one size in between, back home a lot of the guys want to have women ride shotgun)
Spring loaded, adjustable rearsets with complete linkages
Adjustable clubman type bars. (easily adjustable for normal use)




OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Front Fender
Fork Brace
Goldstar Replica Silencer
Tag mount(number plate holder)
LED tail lamp
LED parking lamp fused in the Headlamp beam
Racing ovals
Battery box

Old beauty from Bombay

.

Joshua Motor Journalist from Bombay (India) sent us these pictures from one of the classiest Norton Es2 I ever seen, first registered in 1942 in Bombay, although not in conformity with the original this restoration is magnificent, and it may be because its owner has made some changes that this machine is quite original. I leave you to judge.
