Evolution

This British made dual seat can be fitted as an alternate to the single seat. It is a copy of the seat fitted to the Redditch Bullets of the 1950's/60's, has a slight step and white piping.

Note: It will require the drilling of 2 holes in the mudguard for the rear fixing.

We have produced this "kit" using an Indian built 500cc, Bullet as the starting point, but you could just as easily use a 350. It has been done as an exercise to demonstrate what can be achieved in just 11 hours using only your imagination and stock parts. Listed here are the parts we have used to create this particular "Evolution" of the Bullet, but with a bike so well served with spare parts and accessories the options are endless.

The tank we supply is not chromed or painted (the one in the picture is chromed) to allow it to be completed in a finish of your choosing. It has a capacity of 2.5 gallons and is a copy of the small tank originally fitted to the export Royal Enfield twins of the late 1960's. The fixing kit (brackets, petrol tap and cap etc.) is supplied separately.

This is an imported seat, which has been made to bolt straight on to the Indian built Bullets. A dual seat can be fitted if preferred.

The handlebars are the braced type used for trials etc. They are made in the UK.

The handlebar controls replace the modern type to give a typical 1950's look. It comprises of UK made Doherty levers, throttle, handlebar rubbers and cables.

The top yoke is purpose made in the UK. It is cast from alloy, is highly polished and will house the same instruments as the original casquette. It comes complete with all the necessary fittings and is fitted in the same way as the original.

The headlamp shell is a genuine English made shell by Lucas. It is finished in chrome and has a polished alloy plate engraved with 'RE' on the top of it. It comes complete with fixing bolts and wiring grommet. The original 7inch light unit and rim can be retained. If fitting this light you will also need to use the purpose made headlight bracket.

Note: If you wish to fit a flyscreen (92544) please select the appropriate Part Number.

The front mudguard is a standard factory item. It is chromed and comes complete with stays.

Once again the rear mudguard is a standard factory item and is finished in chrome.

We have used an English made, pressed steel, 1960's style number plate which has been powder coated in black and have fitted an appropriate style of tail lamp.

Note: The mudguard will require to be drilled to fit the number plate.

We have fitted Dunlop K70 tyres which have the same appearance as 1960's tyres but use modern materials and manufacturing technology to give improved performance and safety. They will fit straight on to the standard Bullet rims, but what you choose to fit is up to you.

An English made system which is based on those fitted to the 500 USA spec Bullets of the 1950's. It has been re-manufactured to suit the modern Bullets (both the 500cc and 350cc) but will require the removal of the R/H tool box. A really smart looking system with a fixed mechanical baffle it produces an appropriate but acceptable sound. The kit includes the exhaust pipe, silencer and heavy duty silencer clip.

Note 1: A heat shield (Part Number: 91043), which helps to protect your leg/trousers from the hot exhaust pipe, is available as an optional extra.

We have fitted stainless steel versions of these covers (the attached picture show the standard black and chrome covers). For more information click here .
