Rebuilding the bullet the Indian way its a good video interestingly it shows how some of these new looking old bikes we see look like new and the hard work they put in. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

Interesting pics, Paul. Lovely bike!
Scary shot at 5:15 though, of the guy applying some lovely carcinogenic powder coating without a respirator!
Life can be so cheap over there!

Hi guys-----------PAUL MH, --- Loved the video----enthusiasts or what ???------- ironic to see a "graveyard" of Bullets in the land that still makes them..... must try cooking my next rice dinner with a No5 nozzle on the Oxy-Acetylene though....Who needs benches etc when you can do it like that ??-----------catchy music......Thanks for sharing that.

Interesting, and as stated No health & safety issues out There then, even Brazing with out goggles eh!...
..Mind You it Helps Give us the confidence to fix our Own..
.."Noted That In Most Indian Video's they strip & Fix The engine On the floor!,Given the State of there floors they Must be a Lot of Grit floating around On there rebuilds?"
Thanks..

just watched the u tube indian bullet re build ,very interesting ,now i see why labour is cheap in india ,there are no health and safety rules to follow,I feel sorry for the young men doing the work they will all have one illness or another in about 20 years time.

indeed, taper! I'll never forget one of the abiding memories of my first visit to Goa. (Just before I bought my Bullet 500). A guy was on his haunches white-washing kerbstones on a dual-carriageway... on the tarmac with his back to the traffic!
I suppose it's a bonus if they even live long enough to die of natural causes!!
