Enfield 42 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Hello from new member Enfield 42, the proud owner of a Royal Enfield WDCO that I am just restoring and looking forward to riding at my ww2 re-enacting events. I expect I will be asking lots of questions as I near the end of my project if the work to date is anything to go by! Currently eager to find a centre stand for the beauty... any ideas or leads gratefully received. If anyone sees the famous mobile Wheatsheaf wartime pub appearing at any events, be sure to pop in and say hi. Thanks Nick Edited December 31, 2012 by Enfield 42 specificity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roof Over Britain Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi there, and welcome aboard. I've just got my WDCO up and running again, don't know about a center stand, but the civy post war model G rear stand fits fine, not exactly the same as the CO rear stand but a lot stronger and probably easier to find! I found Hitchcock's http://www.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/home very helpful. Best of luck with the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick We restored my 1942 WD.CO 2 or 3 years ago, beautiful, responsive motorcycle with a fantastic slick gearbox for its day. You are going to have lots of fun. Cant help with the stand unfortunately..... as suggested try Hitchcocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield 42 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thank you all for the kind welcomes, and also the information regarding the stand. I have taken photos whilst stripping down the WD/CO just to remind me of all the hard work people like us have to go through to keep history alive. I look forward to bumping into you at events, and also chatting through HMVF forum. Happy New Year everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
