I have to say I definitely learn from many of your outstanding fabrication techniques and can I can use them to apply to and accomplish my own original ideas, as they can only help my ideas come together better and faster. A big thank you for sharing your many years of experience.

Hey Craig you are right looks pretty much like the 70’s Indian made bullets.

definitely an ex indian army bike ,ears on the toolbox for padlocks and insets on rear mudguard stays for slim metal boxes ,its between 1970-1973 , villiers carb is original as is pritcol speedo , nice find

That carburettor as I remember was on the RE TURBO TWIN 1965 ..VILLIERS ENGINE 250cc 4T

I have a Enfield India 350 bulit, same front wheel and brake and front fender, same carb and same tacho drive on rear wheel. It was original sold in the Netherlands in 1977 as new.

That number plate looks like a Nigeria 1950's registration. Kisumu had the KD series. The rear plates were reflective yellow with black lettering

Half width hubs are fun if you enjoy Brown trouser moments. Try descending a mountain on a series of Hairpins , two up, with a load of camping gear with smoke pouring from the hubs .I will be forever grateful to the coach driver who noticed my predicament in his rere view mirrors and allowed me to run the front wheel against the back of the bus on the straight bits, allowing the brakes to cool enough for the bends. The bike a 1947 Matchless twin which I toured the Scottish Highlands on in 1981. I religned the brakes before I left home in Dublin, they were completely worn out when got home. I have seen it done in Ireland where an early Indian Bullet would be "aged" to benefit from a lower import duty and road tax as a "vintage" machine The indicators would have been removed before inspection. Your bike looks like military issue, the paint is non standard, obviously and the wheels are from an earlier bike.A bit of scraping might tell a story. Good luck with it, it should be fun on quiet country roads, if you can find any today, that is.

You should have your own "Doghouse" signature bike, a one-off among one-offs!

It's definitely different but it's not different enuf to warrent a stock restore ,this one is yours ,do what you do,I'll be watching from Oregon USA.

Interesting bike there. You'd have sworn they were redditch-era crankcases. Brass quill bolt, plain tappet cover and bolt-on breather stub. I wonder if it's got a scavenge-side pressure relief valve and return oil gallery going back to the oil tank in there? Worth checking (if only to see if it's in good order).

So good to see you looking so positive there fella. Your whole aura is shining mate (nearly as much as the orange bobber! Lol). Keep smiling, we're all behind you Craig.

Nice

Craig is back, the brain is in overdrive again,the joy can be heard in the voice , well done you! Planning and plotting simply brilliant to see the master builder is back in his natural state and environment he is firing on all cylinders again. Good for you mate the dark clouds are just a sad memory, take care

great idea for the bike finnish

nice bike. my like for this video

But, but.. what about the Ural??? I suppose that's something we'll just have to look forward to... 😀 Whatever bike you're working on will be a fascinating work of art and I really enjoy your videos even if you're working on a toaster! 👍 🏍

So glad to see you back and so enthusiastic about building bikes again, we all have our down periods, and to come back fighting is the best feeling in the world. Hope you keep the new project for yourself, bobber sounds good but make it different. And don’t forget to just go for a thrash on the CB1000R when the weather’s good, its the best therapy you can get riding bikes. Take care Craig.

Fantastic - can't wait to see how they all turn out

Aha! The little grey cells, they are firing on all one cylinder again!, bravo, mon brave! Salut!

Love the enthusiasm for a new project, looking forward to the progress!
