The Continental too is basically a cafe racer. Difference is that it has clip on bars instead of a clubman handlebar. The 500 already has a sharper bend pipe, but not swept back. Are you fabricating a bend pipe?!

No one makes Rearsets for Bullets. Bitee Bikes is just an Enfield Spares Shop in Mahim. They have shut down and shifted to another location. Me, V12 and my friend are already working on the rearsets of my friends Electra 4s (RH shift). Things are going slow since we are trying to develop rearsets that can easily be installed and uninstalled, apart from the lack of time. We generally work only on weekends. When we have them ready, you can pick a fresh one from us.
Dude that's awesome - it would be great to get the rear-sets from you. Any ideas where I could get nice clip ons too? Here's a picture of the bike in question - a friend of mine and I made these mods years ago. Note the rust It's time for a complete over haul.

The bike already has a shaved and ported head. I have ordered a chromed cafe tank (couldn't find an alloy one unfortunately), Goldstar exhaust, swept-back bend pipe (a standard pipe that's bent to a 70 degree angle an re-chromed), head yoke with smith meter, single cafe seat and fork gaitors from Royal Motors in Delhi (some pics below). Also getting a K&N type air filter and 30 mm Keihin-type flat-slide carb from CMW in the US. Want to put on the T-bird rear subframe, Samrat alloy rockers, light weight pushrods and a higher capacity oil pump (maybe from the 535) and knock off the tool boxes. Looking for 19" alloy rims too.

Will post pics soon as we're through, think it might take a couple of months - fun, fun.
