-   -   1993 Enfield Bullet – Made like a GUN (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/108082-1993-enfield-bullet-made-like-gun.html)

Well I had a great passion for Bullets since my school days. I used to fantasy
all the bullets passing by. Those days (Iam 27 years old now) (10 years ago – I could only notice huge pot bellied men (read – Policemen) driving the bullets.
CIRCA – 2011 – I noticed an ad from a gentleman called Ratish intending to sell his bullet.
The ad said that “1993 make Bullet, Karnataka Registration with FANCY number”.
I was quite impressed .I called him and fixed an appointment to test drive the machine. We met near Forum at around 10:30 PM as he was busy with prior works. I rode the bike and was truly amazed with the quality of the bike.Just a few minor works like tappet tightening, chain tightening to be done.
I am taking the delivery of the Bullet after 27th of September as it’s an inauspicious period to buy vehicles {PitruPaksha).

Inviting all Bullet owners / Enthusiasts to help me in making this bike into a dream bike.

define 'dream' !! :D & here's the classic Q- heavy crank or light crank?

cheers..

That is one nice buy man :thumbs up The bull looks real cool and classic.
The paint job is also done well. Will wait for your ownership experience.
I trust it is a light crank and not heavy.

For some reason the Bull riders don't get satisfied with other bikes that soon, may be i am like that :).
I already own a Electra CI and now a STD 350 CI is at the edge of finalizing the deal.

Keep Thumping !!!

It definitely looks like a dream bike! Very nice color combo. congrats on your acquisition!

Is that a patch of oil on the ground? Hope its not from the bike. And the seats look rather thin. Is it comfortable?

Thanks a lot ; - ) The patch on the ground is not oil I believe .. I have not yer taken the snaps of the bike.These snaps are from the seller who posted on the web classifieds.

In fact Iam planning to change the silver patch to either Black or Red patch...Any suggestions.???

Sure the bike is all "Electro Plated" so no worries of paint fading / losing lusture.

The bike is a low crank but needs minor adjustments to make it a Bull on the road.

Date - 20-Sep-2011
Place - JC Road for Retro Fittings
Siddiah Road - Horns

Bought a complete set of Retro fittings for the bike.Also purchased a heavy duty Roots horns for the bike.Will fir the horns along with a melody tuner to avoid battery drain out.

Kannan, in the second pic whats the part in top row, center, next to the horn button? Is that off a bullet. I ask cos to me it looks like a adv/red lever for an old vintage bike. Is that available, if yes how much?
Regards

@deutscheafrikar - I have made it very easy for u to understand with the pic.Its available in Bangalore.

So what, boss Bull's oil leakage is leaving behind a trail and says that a Bull has just passd by...........

Wow, you went ahead and bought a close to 20 year old Bullet, How many Kms it has done? How many Kms Bulls go before they need engine work?

Your passion for the Bull is quiet evident with this buy. Congratulations and may the Bike serve you for many many miles. It will be interesting to see how the Bull looks post your mods/changes. Are you planning to get it painted as well.

Kannan thanks so much. The choke leave is th eone I was talking about. Perfect to use on a old english bike. They came with two actually one for the magneto advance retard on the left I think and on the right for the choke. Or was it the other way around.

Anyway forgot to mention you have a great looking bike there. All the best with it.

Ahaa Veerji, yeah you are absolutely correct and most all the english bikes did that.

mayankjha1806 - Iam just planning to change the silver on the tank/ side covers to either Red or Black..

I have not yet taken the delivery of the bike.Probably wil ride the Bull home during this weekeend .Will keep the world updated on my machine.

Thanks all for your support

Are you planning to put a crash guard? If you are on JC Road again could you find out the price of diamond crash guard? Teknik Motors in sarjapur road is quoting 1.5k for that! :Shockked:

Lovely RE there pal, how much did you pay for it ?

They say the bull marks its territory by spilling oil :D.
