Restoring a neglected Royal Enfield Bullet Electra

The FC renewal is due in April and hopefully the bike shall pass the fitness check in all flying colours.

BHPian kirans recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The kick spring broke all of a sudden, and the main stand was partially broken, and had to be welded. Also got the HSRP plates finally done for both bikes. With this all my bikes and cars are done with this HSRP trouble and I am hopefully set for life. 

The front shock absorbers as well as tires were replaced. The Electra has new rings and bore as it was time and it makes a huge difference. The original tank was also restored to a usable state by multiple cleaning rounds and there do not seem to be any more deposits in the fuel. I do have the spare tank ready in case of further rusting, but the spare tank did not look good at all on the bike. Also full polishing done on the engine parts. The bike rides so well right now that I am tempted to use it for daily commute. 

I am adding a little 2stroke Oil in the tank both to prevent corrosion and also since the engine needs to run in a little. There is some heating but it is not too bad.
