MUSKET 998 NO. 4 OWNER DAN GRIFFITH, INDIANAPOLIS IN.
Dan drove down from Indiana last fall. He liked what he saw and decided to go ahead with a build true to the spirit of Royal Enfield's KX V twin. He was keen to help and contribute to the build and was ever ready to drive all the way down to Ohio to pick up and drop off parts, cleaned, degreased, dis-assembled. He looked all over for fittings and accessories that are true to the aesthetic of that age.
The gorgeous and richly glossy paintwork is thanks to my friends Taylor Duncan and Kiel Mohrman.
The bike is a tribute to Dan's father who is in his 80s! The vintage pedestrian slicer number plate is Mr. Griffith senior's initials and date of birth...what a wonderful finishing touch to a machine true to the spirit of the times that his father was in his youth. I hope this machine gives him much joy for years to come. Congratulations Dan Griffith!
December 10/2016, Dan posted a short clip of his Musket and the following message:
"Happy Holidays all. Short video of Musket 998 No. 4 running in below freezing temps. Have just over 750mi on it. Had a guy stop and ask me if I was selling the bike when shooting the video, LOL."

MUSKET 998 NO.5 OWNER PHIL HUFF, ATLANTA GEORGIA.
Phil *flew down* from Atlanta last fall to take a look at the bikes. I still remember the manner he took his test-ride...it was the absolutely effortless ease of someone who has ridden his whole life. He is a genuine gearhead and his collection is over *50 bikes*, including vintage and late model Harleys, classic British, Japanese, European machines, all in perfect running order and he recently restored a Knucklehead! He found a very clean olive green 5spd Bullet 500 and sent it to me and chose to leave it bone stock. The gearbox has been converted to right side shift and it is shifting great. I hope this machine makes its home in Phil's amazing collection and gives him much pleasure.
Note...not one drop of oil under the motor after several days
