Hello SB,
I fitted 3.5 x19 Ensign's to my 500 bullet a couple of years ago. I rate them highly. Some say they don't handle well, I disagree.

You will have to raise front mudguard a little, I made a couple of extender brackets, works well.

I had to cut 4inches off rear mudguard but it was behind number plate so looks fine.

Good luck

Thank You, for your reply. Its good to hear, that you are happy with the tyres. I like the thought of the higher side wall tyre to the front. Should make life on the road a little more easy.

SB, I would send you some pics showing close up of tyres and how my brackets work if I could find out how to post pics on this forum !!!

Thank You, but having answered to another post, due to smart ass childish comments, i would rather use my time in a better manner, that suits my adventures. I will not be posting here again. Safe riding and thanks for your reply.

Hello Simon. I was looking forward to seeing more reports about your travels on your diesel Enfield and I am disappointed that you have decided to leave this forum. I don't know how long you have been on here, but I've been here for a few years. Yes, there's some leg-pulling but I have never seen anything that was intended to be derisory about a member or his bikes. Alan R and Leon are regular contributors whose comments are constructive. Of course, we can all get the wrong end of the stick - anyone reading the Little & Large post without having read this one first may surely be forgiven for being unaware that the Enfield pictured was actually your bike. I know that it is no skin off your nose whether you post on here or not. All I can say is that I'm sure that there are many who'd be interested in more inof about your travels.

'info' not 'inof' !!

I'd be interested, the pictures in Scotland (?) really caught my attention, excellent scenery and well composed. The points you photographed and the way you positioned the bike so that it was large enough but not too large to dominate the scenery was nicely done, unusual in these kinds of travel pics which usually go for a more 'awesome!' type of wide screen snap. Show us more. Just my thoughts!

REgards, Mark

Hi Guys------ looks like sb's other thread has been withdrawn.....I too would like to see some more photos of the Scottish Highlands as I spent the last few years of my RN Apprenticeship as a teenager based at Rosyth and at least twice a year we engaged in "Initiative Training" exercises ie}--- 6-man patrols walking and camping based on anything up to a 40 mile set route.....Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Callendar, The Trossachs etc....This would be 1968/9, I rode a Honda CB160 and was Secretary of the HMS Caledonia Motorcycle Club.....Happy memories !!
