Battle Green Royal Enfield C5 looks ready to serve. |
"I have been working on a 2011 Military for a couple years now in between military deployments (I'm a Navy pilot in Washington state).
"I've turned the pilot lights into turn signals, and added turn signals on the back plate, for a low profile look.
Button turn signals at the rear clean up the look. |
"I got them on there and I must say I love them; I don't think they take away from the old school appeal of the bike at all. Just waiting on my amber pilot light lenses from India to complete the front blinker set up.
Signaling for a turn with the pilot lights. |
"The handling is fine with the tires. No marked difference. I do want to put a bigger tire up front now as that rear tire dwarfs the front (4.0 vs 3.0)! In time, I will put a 3.5 of the same tire up there.
Tires are aggressive looking. |
The tires are shinko 241s if anyone is wondering! My current plan is to put an equal size tire (to the rear) up front and use the fender mounts from a b5 since it has 19" wheels to make it fit. We will see....
ReplyDeleteWhat exhaust system is that?
ReplyDeleteDerek, did you eventually get your equal size tire on the front? I'm using the same tires, and will clearly need longer fender stays. Where did or will you find the replacement b5 stays?
ReplyDeleteI have not put a bigger tire on the front... but nfield gear said they have the b5 stays if you need them.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the LED rear directional bolts?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the size of the tires used ! Please tell me.
ReplyDeleteNice bullet
