Royal Enfield 1958 350cc OnThe Road Clipper/ Bullet on going Restoration Project
On Offer:- A 1958 Royal Enfield 350cc Clipper/Bullet OTR Ongoing Project Bike When I acquired this bike in March 2014, it had not been used on the road for a number of years, following a not very good DIY restoration, although it was running (just), it had a number of issues to rectify. I rebuilt the clutch & gearbox selectors, the petrol tap into the tank was leaking; sorted out the wiring issues, changed the oil and filters, Ultrasonically cleaned the Carb, fitted a new plug, set of points & re-timed it. Since then it has been used on an almost daily basis as a local run around covering just over 2,000 miles. Being made here in Redditch it always attracts attention, where ever I go and the un-restored patina seems to meet with most peoples approval. Any Royal Enfield fanatics will have spotted this Clipper (the Royal Enfield’s budget model) has at some stage in it’s life been upgraded from the Cast Iron head, to the alloy head of the bullet (the top of the range model). The bike was originally registered on 12/3/1958. Log book shows 6 former owners since then. For any registration number hunters, it’s non transferable. So the bike runs and with maintenance and some work can be used as is (bearing in mind it’s almost 60), or alternatively it could be restored to its former glory. Either way it’s a great fun means of transport that also has the added benefit of being both Tax and MOT Free, and an appreciating asset. Viewing is both welcomed and recommended, but if this isn’t ...
