And if you use long enough bolts to hold it in place, you can recut the tread in the rear tyre with every bump in the road you go over. Win / win, I would say.

yep, works for me,,,,



you'll need to measure the bolts carefully though to stop them going through to the tube,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What will the gap be when 2 up?

Fit a rear mudguard from the 350.

The cut-off mudguards are for those who like to do wheelies or like a large mud streak up the back of their jacket.

Nick,



forget the swinging arm Bullet and buy an older bike with a rigid frame. A WDCO if you're keeping it Royal Enfield, or any other number of old brits from the forties or earlier. Or replace the rear shock absorbers with solid struts.



I have seen Bullet bobbers with the mudguard mounted on the swinging arm rather than the frame, but they look terrible IMHO.



There have been quite a few posts on the forum about how to display a photo, do a search on here, next to the log-in button, top right of the page.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

I think Leon has summed it up perfectly. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beer holder. Couldn't imagine restoring/fixing my bikes without a beer in hand.

wheelies? on a Bullet? well I guess it's worth a try,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

not too worried about taking her out in the mud though, I have a Transalp for that kind of thing.

At the end of the day, we all modify our bikes a bit, even if it's just fitting a clock, or a luggage rack. I'm just off into the garage now to modify the top box mount on the Tranny (my missus says it presses on her back), beer in hand nickbarber, cheers!
