OMG.... Muthu anna, Hats-off (Helmets-off?) to you, i am KICKING myself for missing your thread for all these years. its still like a dream to me, seeing your collection of the rarest of bikes and scooters. i am a die-hard lover of the vintage motorbikes, and i know how difficult it is even to find a vintage bike, and you..... you are finding them and restoring them too. i cant wait to meet you in person & see the beauties.especially i'm completely speechless when i saw the restoration pics of the JAMES-ML & BSA's. WOW, the quality of restoration immaculate. even the decals, stickers, livers absolutely world class restoration job you are doing. i think you fabricate the rare/ un-available parts .

BTW i have a 1987 RD, which i am using very sparingly due to non availability of some spares, which i am planning to restore fully to the original specs. i'll inform u when i start the resto, your valuable advise is highly appreciated

Thanks enfro !!
All Bullets manufactured after 1955 by " ENFEILD INDIA Ltd" Madras are
Made in India BULLS, but with many vital parts imported from England..
This 1959 Bullet was introduced with "SR 1 Magneto Ignition" & later models with "Delco",just from 1960's itself.
Even " SR magneto ignition" was provided for the customers ( ON REQUEST) on extra cost till mid '62.
These bikes had AMAL 276- 7/8 mono-bloc Carb.
Even I have one for the above Bike, Have to fit it after completing 1000 kms ( Run -in period)

Hello Raja,
Think those words like:
WATER DECALS & TRANSFERS
has confused you !!
NO, none of the Royal En field Bullets are Liquid cooled ( Water cooled)...till now 2010 all of them are Air Cooled machines.
water decals , are the stuff you see on the fuel tank...
....Its simply called water stickers.
The printed stuff on the paper, gets out of that paper, once immersed in water, the image is transferred to the painted part of the bike.
PS: If ,still in doubt, go back few pages in this same thread & see the decals of JAMES ML....since its bit big in size you may understand easily
PPS : if you are interested in knowing AIR COOLED & WATER COOLED MACHINES,..even @ xbhp, there are separate threads..just check out
