QUESTION one and all has anybody purchased the rigid rear end for a bullet off our hosts?if so whats the quality like? for the price it needs to be good if not superb,i,ve seen kits elsewhere that could be adapted to fit a bullet ,i read last weeks mcn the guy who,s making bobbers had a nice rigid rear end on the bike in mcn but unless the spindle for the rear wheel was on a excentric cam i could see no means of adjustment although it looked well in the photo,s,couldn,t believe mcn having bullet bobbers and a review of the big knock diesel rally all in 1 publication although at £2 almost it needed 2 good articles in it ?....

Hi GRUNDA 12 ------------- since riding Enfields I've developed a rigid rear end. Does that count ??

Have had the rigid rear end fitted for over a year now, good quality, easy to fit. I recommend if you like rig ids or something different. Here is a link to some pictures of my bike http://www.flickr.com/photos/dapunds/se ... 490647453/

That's lovely Kev... this is something I have been planning to do also ever since I got mine 2 years ago but cash has been allocated elsewhere each time I had a few quid available. Was it a big job? Would like to hear that bike with the other silencer!

Kevin, that looks fantastic with the Bighead on, really like what you've done. I have a pal who wants an Indian v-twin but can't afford it, (who can!) and is interested in creating something like what you've achieved. I'll show him the pics of yours to spur him on!
REgards, Mark

Nice job Kevin in all its guises, good 30's look even with the bighead engine. Whats it like on the spine to ride?
