Bullet trials 500

Alistairm · Nov 14, 2021

Some time adding (and taking away) bits from my new Enfield.
First up was a Hitchcock’s silencer followed by bar end mirrors and smaller number plate and finished up fitting nice aluminum indicators.

The exhaust is a fraction of the weight, a bit snarky, I might need to fit a baffle… undecided. 40 miles on the bike today and really enjoyed it.

Looks good

Looks good, just like an Eddie Dow "Goldie" silencer :thumb2

Bet it doesn't "twitter" on the over run though

More of a ‘duffle’ than a Twitter..it’s a soft engine.

Can’t work out if it’s too loud, will try a baffle. It’s 4 kg lighter

Looks like a far more elegant shape, too.

It is… they also do a version more like the Burgess pipe, but I liked this one.

Shocking finish on the standard pipe. But I guess the bike costs about the same as a mid price eMTB !

I noticed that on my stock pipe, i thought the previous owner had done that to stop corrosion, but clearly not, shocking that isn't it!

Chrome first…. Then weld…..then silver hammerite….

I was a bit alarmed! I have to remind myself that it wasn’t an expensive bike… not that expensive gets you good finish!

If you haven’t already done so, take a look at your air filter. Mine was pretty poor, the pleats were stuck together and the filter stuck to the paint on the metal lid.

The bike is fun to ride and It makes me smile.

Hitchcocks do a replacement air filter that’s not only better build quality but the bike runs a lot smoother as well.

Yes, that’s the one I fitted and a decent spark plug. Did it all at the same time so not sure what made a difference… and the bikes still running in… hopefully will do a few miles soon.
