Default Performance upgrade for enfield 500

I read about Hitchcock UK's (Hitchcocks Motorcycles -- Royal Enfield and Amal Parts and Kits) performance upgrade kits and it got me thinking - all that gear must be made in India somewhere. Anyone know the names of manufacturers/distributors in India that supply/stock the following parts:

Main bearings - needle bearing
Performance valve assemblies
compression plates
Light weight pushrods
Free flow silencers
High flow oil pump
32mm Amal carb
Uprated clutch springs
High lift camshafts

Any info is highly appreciated.

A stock 500 kick's ass of our current line up of so called power bikes...wonder how would a modded one would preform

i think you would have to fabricate a lot of parts yourself..finding even stock parts for my friends 500 was a pain in the rear...

anyways all the best with the enfield dude

Hi Modder, the Hitch cock parts are said to be maid in india and most of them are said to be made by SAMRAT... but i have done my home work on that and there is no info avaiable to where the parts are made. because samrat them self is working on the Metallurgy to get the standards rite . regarding the performance mods you can always contact Anthony in Bombay he know his stuff. and regarding the High flow pump the only one there is the 535 which i recently confirmed is bigger than the 350 and 500 (these both use the same). and it would be just for around 300 rs. a better option is to get the timming side moded so that you can fit a AVL timming cover where the Gears are used for the oil flow and it works out even fasted than the 535 and we are talking about the 350 AVL pump... free flow exaust are not to be a problem cause you dont really have to caculate for the bullet till the time you are into too much of high end modds. so just go for a normal free flow or you can also go for the goldstart, AMAL carbs i am sure that you can find one here but they would be old ones. and you can get the rebuild kits and all that

anyways best of luck if you are thingking of doing it and do keep psoting

Thanks Richard. Great advice Desideep. I'm going to look over your suggestions carefully and will let you know how things turn out. I've modded 3 enfields before - facing the head to increase compression, porting, re-jetting, free flow exhaust, etc - these do lead to a noticable increase in power, but I think the real difference will come if, in addition to this, I can replace the floating bush with a main bearing, add performance valves/rockers/pushrods/cams and ofcourse the replacement carb. Of course I haven't forgotten the aesthetic part - would like to style my new bike along the lines of a cafe racer (without doing any frame mods). Will post pics in around a month's time.
Samrat is a hard company to find on the net. I sent them an exquiry through IndiaeTrade.net. Seems like they are an
Ahmedabad-based company. Didn't find any Samrat distributors online, but I'll take your advice and ask at Anthony's in Bandra.
Again thanks for the advice and let me know if you have any other ideas and suggestions.

Hi mate!

Hey man, Samrat is based in Ahmedabad, & I will give the number of Mr.GP Mistry, he's the owner of this company. These people don't have many retailers because they are mainly into export, & many products on Hitchcock's are from Samrat only. But in the past a few of their products haven't turned out to be very good, so beware, although they do say that they have improved. To quote an example, they had this rocker set, which was made from Aluminium, & used to have problems. Although they say that now they have corrected the flaws.

But I couldn't find much help from them, just fake promises that they would send the things etc.

As for the company in KB, whose link has been put up here, they have a lot to say on their website, but then like Deep says, don't really have such stuff. Stay away from them.

Take care.

Happy thumping,
Prakhar
