| Senior - BHPian  |  The clutch case cover has been painted, changed the oil too in the clutch casing. Initial plan was matt black, but its now a "little" shiny.  Brake pedal and other brackets have also been painted black. The sticker job on the front mudguard was lacquer coated to protect it. The gap between the mudguard and the tyre is barely a centimeter. |

Happy New Year and some very nice work. You may want to go up a couple of sizes on your main jet with your air filter and silencer set-up. Also, the fork gaiter may have perforations which should be at the back otherwise you may find a lot of water and junk entering the boots. How are your rear sets and gear change mods working out? Would love to have rearsets on my Enfield! Best Dimali | |

Rearsets are done sometime back. Work perfectly. Never had any problems with it. Rear brake was always weak even after changing the brake shoes and liner. No idea why. | |

Rear seat cowl is still pending. We may probably be fabricating another seat by ourselves. Does anyone know from where do I get logos made? I've heard there are two alternatives: screen printing or radium stickers. Damn this project is getting very pricey. But to perfect use. Café Racer Project is almost reaching its completion | |

Is this HP avalible for other four-stroke bikes, in the 150cc range? What would be the price? | |

The price is a bit on the higher side in Bangalore at around 650 bucks. You get two types of HP one with the cotton mesh and one full steel mesh which is not advisable for dusty conditions. For the Enfield this filter is a bit small. I have had this filter on my bike previously, but now i'm using a bigger Green Cotton filter. A bigger filter is always good for any bike because it kind of acts like an airbox.  Last edited by Sankar : 8th January 2008 at 22:03. | |

| BHPian  | Awesome creation Gordon. You have really looked into the finer details while modding this machine. I own a 350cc Enfield which is completely stock except for a front disc installed that was ripped off a sports bike  , As bullets back then didnt come with disc brakes.This thread reminds me of those early morning cruises to college; Inspirational! |

| Senior - BHPian | Looks like the Vardenchi cafe racer didn't work out well.. The rearsets and handlebars are back to stock. Bike is still in pathetic condition. Its repainted to yellow.  Now for the update on my bike. The seat cowl is shaping up well. I'll post new pics of the complete bike soon. |

| Senior - BHPian | A major update : The cowl is almost ready. Have to just get the foam and seat cover done. Should be ready within a week or 2.  |
