Hitchcocks Forum

Hi all I have a 350cc bullet 2007 reg it has a screen on the front ect it looks ok but I would like to make it more cafe street looking I like the look of changing the grips and taking my black mirrors off and taking the screen off and fitting a bar end mirror and new grips is it easy to change the grips also any links to nice old grips and bar end mirror

Errrr. Just take off what you don't like and fit what you want. You could try our hosts catalogue which is on line here. Everything is in there. All you need is some money and some imagination. Simples

Alright Dazza? If you are anywhere near NW London then you'll get all the inspiration you need from the Hitchcocks Cafe show at the Ace next Sunday? I'm just wondering why anyone would have mirrors on an Enfield though? Not as if you need to keep an eye out for the old bill at the speeds these bikes can achieve! I think you'd have to put a double album on the jukebox if you wanted to join the ton-up club...

Au contraire, Pete, the reason you don't need mirrors is that nothing can catch you.

Yeah - I guess not (now my clutch ain't slipping) !!

Hi Peter thanks for the reply I get home at 4.30pm today and they will be straight off the bike. I would like to make the ace cafe but work is in my way I want to change to grips as they look to new any suggestions on a good looking classic pair and I want to put a bar end classic mirror on the right side only and are the grips easy to remove like a push bike any tips thanks

Hi Peter and all other members is there a forum with pictures of owners bikes to look and see what people have changed on they're bikes as my other hobby is Mazda mx5 and on that site there's a forum with owners rides and modifications Ect

Dazza there is a picture album on here somewhere, although I doubt you'll find many cafe racers amongst the current Enfield owners... invitation to prove me wrong I always found the throttle grip more difficult to remove (have cut a few off with a blade in the past) although the clutch lever side should just pull off with a little elbow grease... some folk use a blast of hairspray in the new grips to adhere them to the bars. I used to muck about with grips/mirrors/bars a while back but now I'm quite happy with how things are. Now I don't use mirrors so less is more for me... may even get rid of my grips as well for that matter...

Can anyone remind me how to add photos to this album please?
