Hullo! This is on Ebay right now...the *very last iron barrel Bullet 500* to roll off the assembly line, still in the original crate! Kevin Mahoney, the original importer and distributor of Royal Enfields in the USA procured it in 2008 and kept it untouched and is offering it up for bids. It is the 5 speed version. A great candidate for a V twin...or just keep it stock and enjoy having it. Have to admit, it makes me sad but there it is.

Hello there!
Phew. That's ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY separate machining setups. Yup. Each set of castings goes through fifteen setups. Not including various doodads that I'm making right now such as oil filler necks and filter covers and ignition covers and cam shafts and whatnots. Alongside this, builds number 6 and 7 are nearing completion, pics of those coming soon.
Cheers!
