Could the Enfield 500 bullet
make it cross country no worry's ?

This is an interesting question. The answer is yes and no. If you want to really see the country travel on secondary roads, ( generally 2 lane with a 55 mph speed limit), are willing to perform simple maintenance along the way, (adjusting valves, points, checking oil, tightening this and that, in other words be involved with the bike), meet lots of great people and curiosity seekers, tell the Royal Enfield story about every 50 miles or less then yes it can be done. However if you just want to get on the bike and go by freeway at 65-80 mph, be in danger of falling asleep at the wheel because it runs like sewing machine, never turn a head wherever you go, then the Royal Enfield is the wrong bike.

Topic: shifter linkage
Message:
Hey folks,
Looking at buying a '95 Bullet, RH shift. I know this is 'correct' but I learned on NA'n bikes (LH shift). I've seen a kit to convert the Bullet back to a RH shift, but what's involved for someone like me to swith back again to LH shift? I may put high bars and forward controls on this bike as well, which would let me run any linkage in front of the engine rather than through the cases.
Any (constructive) comments

Message:
Hi. I'm looking at a North American RE that has been converted back to RH shift, but I want to convert it back to LH shift (sorry, that's what I learned on). Can anyone help by telling me what parts I might need? Fabricate something on me own?

atchbo@wildmail.com

You can order the parts from us at 800-201-7472 or you could call some of our dealers and see if they have the parts which are left over from a conversion from LH to RH shift

Topic: Bullet 350 vs 500 ?

Message: Hi Folks,
I'm thinking of buying a Bullet this spring. I'm drawn to the 350 because of the higher compression, better gas mileage.. The only difference between the two models I can see after much research is that the 350 has a lower top speed (70mph vs 75mph),lower price,lighter weight,and less accessories available. Are there any Bullet 350 owners out there that could tell me of their experience with the bike? My main concern is the 350 as reliable as the 500?

Topic: Bullet 500 re-jetting
Message:
I just brought a RE bullet 500 back from Denver, CO, where the elevation was about 6k ft, to Las Vegas, NV, which has an elevation about 2k ft. Does anyone know the best jet sizes for this change. The bike is running great when the choke is "On". Help.

llordmerciless@cox.net

the factory main jet is a 110. It should work fine for you. If you prefer try a 115 and then read the spark plug.

Somebody posted they have a Indian Badged Enfield,(the Woodsman). There are a few places to find what you need, but it's a tough go. I've recently started work on a 692cc Trailblazer, (or perhaps it's a chief...). I've recieved Some good help and advice from Enfield parts people in The UK. Good Luck

Topic: Bullet For Sale in Canada
Message:
I have a 1994 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Deluxe For sale. This bike is better than new with many upgrades parts from Classic Motorworks. Please contact Miin

leong8873@shaw.ca

This is a one shot thing. We normally do not allow "For sale bikes" on this message board, but since our Canadian customers cannot get a new Bullet we decided to allow this one ad.
