So finally after a long long while i am posting on this thread. i am very sorry for this delay. All this while i had been looking for an engine, and i was lucky enough to find a bike that suited my requirements. And it was the ROYAL ENFIELD STANDARD 1982! And luckily it was bang in my budget! The papers were all clean and i was the 4th owner of the bike.

Now comes the condition of the bike. I wont say that i got the bike in mint condition, but it wasn't that bad either! And being an automobile engineering student, things became easier for me. I'd like to come towards the problems now.

1. the speedometer was not working as the gear that drives the wire was broken- solved
2. the front shocks were leaking- under process
3. the front hub had rusted and the front brake was not working- fixed
4. clutch cable was a bit tight and damaged- replaced
5. the silencer was rusted- replaced
6. the gearbox had leakages- gasket replaced
7. the carburetor was giving problems- jet replaced and serviced
8. rear brake shoes worn out- replaced
9. horn wasn't working- replaced
10. headlight cluster was in a stingy condition- replaced
11. engine oil changed to 20w50


now the bike is in a very good condition. its a pleasure to ride it. as of now there are no major problems as such. all the parts that were changed were original and sourced from an authorized dealer.

Lets come to the modifications now. being a youngster/collage going chap, i wanted to my bike look classic yet with a modern touch. so i started with the headlights. it was just yesterday that i installed a projector setup in the headlight. and all the work that was performed on the bike was done by me with the help from a service manual and a trouble shoot guide that i found on the internet.i would be posting the pics of the work in the evening once i have some good clicks. till then lets sit back and discuss about the bike!

thanks to all
