Description

Here we have for auction my 2007 Royal Enfield bullet 500, I have owned this bike from new and have the original receipts from Wilds of Leeds and Watsonian Squire who were the importers. Bike located in Tameside area of Manchester. The bike has current MOT which expires in 7/04/2022. 7000 miles on the clock but the bike has done a bit more as I put an Indian made Smiths look alike speedo on it so its probably done around 8/9000 miles, not used the bike much during the last few years due to health reasons, likewise I would have listed it on eBay earlier but had to go into hospital and have only just got out. IMPORTANT, UK buyers with 100% positive feedback only, cash or bank transfer, no pay pal The bike has been cosmetically altered as can be seen from the photos, so it looks more 1950’s with the following mods, Single saddle, 1950 handlebar controls, smiths look alike speedometer and Lucas amp meter, both toolboxes are flat sided, I re registered the bike a while back to give it an older looking registration number, black and white reg plate. Engine and gearbox mods include, Amal Monoblock carb, removal of the gearbox neutral finder (I still have it in the shed if you wish to refit but I found it a bit tricky to use), 1950 exhaust (sounds great) Hitchcock’s upgraded clutch. Electrical mods include, Lucas alternator, wiring harness changed to the pre 1999 type, this enabled me to put the ignition switch in the left-hand toolbox and mount the rotary light switch in the headlamp casquet (see photos), smaller flexible indicators with audio warning as I was forgetting to cancel them, Boyer voltage regulator and solid-state flasher relay, gel battery in dummy battery box . General stuff, most fasteners replaced by stainless steel ones and some brass dome nuts in prominent places, rear shocks replaced with Hagons. With the bike comes the original petrol tank, spare exhaust pipe, which is not upswept, and a Brooklands can (sounds even better) and Velocette silencer, which seems to suit the bike well (see photo). Documentation, original purchase receipt, V5C, all MOT certificates except for 2020 where the MOT was waived due to corvid, original purchase receipt, some bills from Hitchcock’s most of the 1950 stuff, handlebar controls etc I had in my shed already from my earlier British bikes. This bike has never seen rain! If you require any further info, contact me via eBay.Good luck!
