Hi Guys

Me and friend decided to build Royal enfield Crusader Diesel with what ever parts lying in our sheds , Back garden in my case.. still need to do rest of bits. let us know yr thoughts on that ?

Bike Specification:

Frame. Royal Enfield Crusader 1960s
Engine: Yanmar diesel 4HP 211CC ( Raw )
Forks - 1947 RE Model G
Shock absorber. unknown. just flipped the swingarm to fit long shock.
Electrics/carb : No alternator/carb ,, just default injector. .
Start type : Pull and go
Smoke type : Black.
Builder: Brian Hackett

A brave project. Congratulations!

Yanmar seems to be an interesting company with a determination to improve the life of all. I quote:
“The determination to create new value drives our activities in fields all over the world. At the core of those activities is technology. ‘Realizing The Maximum Prosperity Using The Minimum Resources’: based on this conception of what technology should be, we offer solutions and services globally in response to diversifying customer challenges and needs.”

To this end they produce diesel marine engines.

Can someone explain how these two seemingly divergent aims are integrated into 'new value'?

You probably need to ask Yanmar's marketing department. Sounds like the usual management buzz-word salad.

Not a bad attempt at a diesel bitsa if it all lines up OK and the gearing is right.

I dig the Model G forks, but those yellow toolboxes from an Indian Bullet just look wrong there. Originally you'd be looking at this sort of thing with the appropriate lids.

But does it even need any tool boxes?

Thanks trophyvase/Adrian for your feedback.

The bike is build from parts thrown around. The work shop and when finished it will be all green.

But-- but when its all done can you reg it and ride it.

Hi Cranky .

Honestly the bike intend to be offroad , just roam around the block or farm. etc
not all the things can be on road with valid . MOT plates ..
