I didn’t know what title to use, so bear with me!
I have a 2004 (2006 registered) 350 Bullet four speed, kick start.
Yes I know it is Indian built and am very happy, but does anyone know if any parts came from original tooling?
By the way, I dislike those people say ‘ooh, it’s not an original’ if that’s you, don’t read on.
I personally think my bike is original Royal Enfield, like all Royal Enfields right up to the new Interceptor for example.
What I am trying to clarify and I know some seals changed to metric and some bolts also, but are any of the parts on a 2004 bike from machines that made the Redditch Bullets?
I’ve done some history reading, but cannot clarify if castings for example are original. I know for example some strengthening was added, ribbing for example.
I suppose if some old curmudgeonly ‘gentleman’ comes up to me again and says ‘is that an original, I could just say - they all are.
