Gentlemen



My 1996 500 Bullet has a non-stock head...errr..stock (sorry). Could anyone tell me the depth of the stock headstock?



Thanks in advance.

[Count Johnny]

What? No one?

well they probably can't count, Johnny.

Did I just say that?

Me no understand, how can your bike have a non standard headstock? surely it`s part of the frame? or has the old one been cut off and a different one welded on?

Exactly right, Ray.



It's a custom frame with lots of rake and billet yokes, so it was easier for the guy who built it for me to use one of his, pre-prepared, custom headstocks than cut the Enfield item from the frame.



15 Years on, I want to return it to cast (Thunderbird) yokes and am thinking spacers and whether, or not, I will need one.

Well...Scaly



If someone could measure, I'd be happy to 'count'...

I have just measured my headstock on my 2003 Sixty5, and near as damnitt it's 192/193 mm top to bottom. Difficult to get in whilst on bike!
