Re: bastard son

What about this?
http://www.musketvtwin.com/home.html
A guy has built a rather tasty bottom end which accepts Royal Enfield jugs and slots into the standard frame (with slight stretching)

I rather like this myself...

Re: bastard son

I remember seeing this after he scratch built his first one. From memory, he's an Indian guy, and did it in his spare time in his shed over 2-3 years. I did think the barrel's were a bit far apart, but much improved to my eye since he's tightened them together.
Since we're talking specials. Here is the Indian/BSA special that I built. It's a 500cc engine (bored out to 580cc). Loads of torque and will knock spots of my 600cc M20.

Re: bastard son

I do love that bike Ron, you've done a great job. The engine looks like it belongs there and not just wedged into a frame.

Re: bastard son

Cheers Dave. The old WD/CO seemed a tad gutless when I took it to Poole Royal Marine camp the other day After using my special lately. Ron

Re: bastard son

I went to the Wednesday bike meet last week and saw this. Not a bad replacement for a 16H engine Sorry I couldn't get a very good picture as the sun was so low and bright.

Re: bastard son

That's a tight squeeze and really fills the frame. It looks great. Is that an actual Matchless engine? The Brough boys must be spluttering into there pink gin's. Ron

Re: bastard son

I can't find the NOC magazine that it was in, but from memory, it's built from new parts from a supplier who produces them for Morgan three-wheelers.

No one would 'dare' to do that to a Brough but a WD16H is fair game !

Re: bastard son

The cylinder head fins are sideways on the Morgan engines (Like an M20 Clifford engine). I guess he has modified heads? And castings with 'N' on them.

Very clever.

Re: bastard son

The original front down tube has been cut away and replaced with an "S" shaped tube to clear the exhaust. The 16H frame and forks were quite rough and pitted, it looks like he's rescued it from the scrap heap. He's managed to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear
