After immensely enjoying my little ride this summer, I decided it needs a bit more...This is quite a contrast to the stock (cast) dished piston it came with, plus it'll not only provide a squish (!) more compression, but also take the bore out 4mm (499 to 535cc). Last one my guy did with this...

i drive for a living. Can’t afford the points.

It’s been a couple months and I’ve got a few miles on her. I think this is the bike I should have bought 5 years ago, when I bought my Continental GT. Solved the miss by downloading the MAP the good people at Hitchcock’s wrote for it. The fueling was off the equivalent of 7 jet sizes (lean) in...

So, I finally got a short break from work and weather and picked it up. Sorry to report, no twitter. But the good, it sounds great and pulls well. The not so great, it has an intermittent miss that's quite annoying. things it needs, mild rearsets and some miles. I was quite surprised at how...

While that would look good. in my desire to create a period piece, my current plan is to stick with a more traditional. old timey (?) color that may or may not have been offered. So, some of the black will remain, but tank and side cover color? Not sure yet. I have time, plus at 4 miles on...

Cockpit is complete. Hyde M bars and Napoleons. You’ll notice the blue tape on the tank. A stop to lesson the steering lock needed to be fabricated to keep the switch gear from smacking the tank. I am absolutely ready for warmer weather and this stupid “social distancing” and self quarantining...

I had an early one. First road bike that I could count on. Loved the crackle out of it. But I loved the bowl out of the pipes of my dad’s GT750. Nice project.

It's a 2020. I'll have close to 9000 into it by time I'm "done", Bike itself retails for 5800. But you don't have to do the work on it to have fun with it. Thanks

Here it sits as of yesterday (Saturday), around 70% done. Have a set of Hyde M bars to go on and I'd like to do something with the monstrosity of a tailight.

This is a UK produced “silencer” and head pipe. I realize it’s not the right bend in the head pipe, but it’s good quality. I also realize my little “project” isn’t the norm for DTT and that I’ve done very little of the actual labor, but having attempted a few other “projects” (basket cases) and...

Twitter? No sir. No bike of mine will ever tweet. Pinterest is bad enough, but no twitter! I’m assuming you’re referring to that bell like sound I’ve heard from Goldstars on trailing throttle? I’ll post it if it does.

Saddle got attached today as well. I just need some warmer weather

So today she sprang to life. Use good speakers...

Head came back to the shop today. Should thump back to life by this weekend. Hopefully my job will cooperate!

You sir, have become my hero. That is precisely the essence of time that I am trying to pay homage to.

I’m going to stick with the lifters and EFI. Makes my life easier and I’m not trying to build a track bike. From previous experience and knowing guys who went this route, it beats the devil out of 18-20 RWHP... I did order the clubman saddle for the current C5. It’s quite a nice piece and now...

Breanna?

This is my second, but I'm convinced that I've been an Enfield fan in denial most of my life.

From Redditch, I'm sure you would.

And for now, the stripped head with it's nice new Bronze guides and performance oriented valves zip tied in their spots to go of to the local specialist to have the stock steel guides pressed out, the new ones in and the valves cut in and true. And that's where it sits. I visited her today...
