Just looked at Alan R's pics of fitting his sidestand & noticed the 'RoyalS Enfield logo on the tappet cover. Looks like Indian suppliers of unapproved copy items are getting their hands smacked for copyright infringement by Royal Enfield so varying the logos slightly & hoping no-one will notice. Yeah Right! So far I've seen ROYALS ENFIELD, ROYAL ENFORDS & when I recently received from India a replacement outer chaincase for my Lightning 535 (not available from Mr H) it was deeply embossed 'LIKE ROYAL ENFIELD' Impossible to erase/cover making item useless. Seller offered to refund me if I cut it in half & mailed him photo as proof of so doing. I suggested perhaps he should not show pic. of item without the LIKE word!. Seen any other variations?

Well spotted Micky,
Saw primary covers currently advertised from an Indian supplier stamped "FOR ROYAL ENFIELD". Caveat emptor I believe, especially if it is cheap!

There are some replica oval air filer boxes on ebay with the lids stamped "ROYAL ENFIELD AIRFIELD" instead of "ROYAL ENFIELD AIR FILTER", not really big enough for landing an aeroplane, though.
