| Builder chose vintage drum brakes for his custom Royal Enfield scrambler. |
It began with the dusty remains of a 1965 Bullet that saw service with the state police. Readers of the Adventure Rider Forum watched while Chanderjeet's mechanics made it shine.
The first comment he got on the forum expressed the dismay most mothers would feel if their sons dragged home a dog like this:
"You sir are a glutton for punishment. But you've got my attention. I salute you."

| The "before" picture is stunning. The builder is a talented photographer. |
Now the motorcycle is for sale, for $4,750, including worldwide shipping.
Why for sale? "I want to start my business and need some starting money plus juggling between a job and full-time babysitting means I do not get to ride this at all. I do not want this beauty to turn into a garage queen," he wrote.
It's not the first time he has created a lovely custom Royal Enfield and sold it. I wrote about his beautiful cafe racer in 2010.

Great blog, but this post needs some correcting. Enfields weren't imported into India in the 60s. It's a common misconception among Bullet owners in India that all of the older models were indeed manufactured in Redditch. They were imported as fully built units in the late forties and early fifties, but then, proceeded to enter the country as kits. Ultimately, by the late fifties, the Madras factory was building their own bikes.
