My Unique 350 Military...

Restoration!!!! 

Bugger off!

Everyone either has a shiny new or shine old Enfield. Mines unique! No on we else has one with such character! It's a one owner from new 33 year old bike who else can say that?

I love Huge Bladders bike - and I love mine too! I was at the Ace Cafe today. There was a load of "Adventure" bikes there. Whilst many were the genuine article many were wannabe tourers. You know, the type that own a Rolex divers watch but never seen the sea!

Restoration by replacement is NOT the way to go for me.

[Lwt Big Cheese]

Whoa I've misled you!

Here is my military 350 (genuine), please note the top of the toolbox where there is provision for a padlock, also the shape of the rear mudguard carrier at the bottom where it kinks past the rear shock. If it aint got these features then it aint Indian military.

elan: very nice...I see what u mean about the rear mudguard carrier...yeah I do remember seeing the military guys riding those all around India 20 years ago.....It must be the actual color (olive drab) or whatever its call it that confirms your statement....Again. I like it alot......Good luck with it .

Look at those deep mud guards.

[cyrusb]

So, has anyone figured out what holds the swingarm on? ???Look carefully at pic number 1.

[The Garbone]

Yikes,   might be a bit loose in the rear me thinks..

[RGT]

Good catch, definately need to fix that swingarm mount, What year did they start using the twin leading shoe front brake? my '94 came from India with a SLS....

[Lwt Big Cheese]

SLS? Mines a half width drum!

[RGT]

Mine had a full width hub, 1/2 width 6" single leading shoe setup, I have since converted to the 7" TLS design that I though came out in 2002, but notice that his '80's 350 has them

I don't know when the home market started using the 7" TLS design but all the ones imported into the US starting in 95 had it.

Oh and half width rear too.

I do have a lightened mudguard( although they are the deep i.e. very heavy ones!):

[Arizoni]

Nothing like a few lightning holes to increase performance, I say.

All RE's that were legitimately imported into the US use the Twin LS brake
