No1- This is one of the big problem.
I can't get pre-1950's style front mud guard.
Only way, Do I get 1949's bullet's genuine front mud guard?
How can I get it in another way?
(Hitch cocks' 1950's style front mud guard is newer, because the slim body.)
(May be, I think 1949's rear mud guard is same of hitchcocks' 50's style rear mud guard.)


No2- Sorry this type of silencer can make in japan.
But if I can get it,It's good. because made in Japan is expensive,perhaps.


No3- I can't get very old style needle type of side stand.
Where how can I get this?

No4- I can't get very old style enfield's battery carriers holder. It's look lattice
Where how can I get this?

And Do you know 1947's bullet's body color?
May be it's bluegreen.
But if you know 1947's bullet body color details,please tell it.

Can you slove my poblem?
Please reply.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. I can't help you but I'm sure someone will come along soon with the information you need. We'd all love to see photos of your bike when it's done. It sounds great!

Inaseこんにちは、どのように私はあなたを助けることができる？

I'm looking for very old style mud guard.
It's not found in Yahoo! auction(japan) & e bay.

How can I get it ?
wow...It difficult.

Inase, the needle prop stand (we call it a "spike",) is available from Hitchcocks, have a look in the Parts Books section here under one of the similar models, I found it listed for the 1954 500 Twin for instance. The fixing bracket to the frame may not work for you but I am sure you could adapt it to fit.

Also, the battery carrier is the same on an Indian Domestic Market 6 volt bike from the 1990s. You can also buy that here and is also available from Ebay suppliers in India. REgards,Mark

And a chap in Aus was making fibreglass front guards for "J"and "G''s as a last resort

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!


I found some needed on hitchcocks' parts books section!


Oh! thank you Mark M.
