Hi Chris, Sorry, I would need to see what you mean to appreciate the difference. I think my headlight is from a model G? Thanks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yes your lamp is a 50s era with underslung pilot lamp used on the G and others of the era. for the lower lamp stay, if you compare the lower with the upper, the upper is a thin steel sheet item with a pressed centre to it. The lower is just flat bar stock but should be like the upper but of the correct length. The Hitchcock replacements just aren’t quite correct but Jan may be able to reproduce it better.

welbike Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Jan has made the headlamp stays before, for me and others, but I found an original set, and sold the repro's on again last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Excellent work from Jan again. The Hitchcock versions aren’t anywhere near as accurate or the quality of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Hi I don't mean to hi jack the thread, but it seems some knowledgeable types on here. I have a Royal Enfield with the following: Frame number is 19751, engine number is 14182 I s anyone able to provide information on these? Regards Tyler Edited November 1, 2020 by tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I make the frame a WD/CO from RAF contract S14219 (1943). The engine is from the previous army contract C13870 for WD/COB's (Burman gearboxes fitted) It's a coincidence as my own RAF WD/CO from that same contract also had a WD/COB engine until I found the correct crankcases from the RAF contract. No doubt Jan can give you more details on its date and place of despatch. Ron PS The B&W pic is the only in service RAF CO that I've seen.

rewdco Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Are you the seller of the bar-none bike on eBay then? Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm strangely attracted to that "Bar None" bike☺️ Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I purchased it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Good man! I've lost the link to the listing, but from memory, a fun looking "bobber" with most of the correct parts to put it back as it would have been. BTW, your photobucket link has nothing to look at!

Chris Hall Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think this would warrant its own thread. And you can start by screen shotting the eBay page and saving the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewdco Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Good idea! If Tyler starts a new thread, I'll add the details of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
