- The top end finally goes on! The carb will be its own video next and unfortunately the exhaust is a mismatch (more on that at the end of the video), but the barrel and aluminum head are on and we're getting close. If you want to read more about this bike when it was initially running, check out my article in Rider Magazine.

I go step by step in these videos, so you can see the entire process and use it as a reference for your own bike. #royalenfield #motorcycle #motorcyclelife #losangeles

Another excellent video, I'm really enjoying this rebuild! I'm excited to see the finished bike! I've spent a bit of time in LA, I can't recall seeing any Enfields, your ride must be pretty unique!! 🇬🇧
Thanks! I’m so ready to have this back on the road. I only know of one other iron barrel in LA. They’re definitely not common
Yea! A new vlog is up. You made my day man. I've been waiting for this.
Thanks bro. It’ll be back on the road soon!

Thanks for watching and I really appreciate that! There really aren’t comprehensive, step-by-step videos on these Bullets, so I’m trying to fill the void as I rebuild mine. New video is coming soon.
Very nice and very good.

keep it up love it. I will have my 06 bullet on the road by the end of the summer. The vids you put out gave me the push to make it happen.
Thanks for watching and I’m glad they helped!
Great stuff!!!
Thanks!
Good and nice
Looking for the carb rebuild. My 2003 cranks but not turn over. It used to before but only on choke. Changed the rubber boots but frustrating. Really considering selling it if I can’t get it to run. Great videos
Thanks for watching! Yeah, that can be frustrating for sure. Could be a lot of things. Have you cleaned the carb?
@@Cyclingwithgasoline yes wondering if it the points
@@Blueknight-il9nc Sorry, didn’t even think of that. I’m so used to the electronic ignition on mine
@@Cyclingwithgasoline I have both. Hope to get this running
Good
Hey there buddy. Any info on the torque specks for top end re install? I blew my head gasket two days ago. Just figured I’d ask as your the man! Thanks! Great content so far 👍
Thanks! And I’m not big on torque specs as I generally go by feel from experience. However, here’s the official torque specs for the iron barrel 500. The rocker bearings shouldn’t be too tight. A lot of people make this mistake and put too much pressure on the arms. The spec is 9.4 ft. pounds. The cylinder head itself is 24 ft. Pounds. Make sure to put the proper washers on the studs before putting the long bolts in. The rocker box covers are listed at just 1 ft. pound. Seems a bit low to me, but that’s the spec. Thanks for watching!
@@Cyclingwithgasoline as an aircraft technician. Those numbers seem like finger tight haha 😂 I usually do the same so I’ll follow suit. Thanks again
What year is your 500 and how many miles did it have before you restored it?
Detailed info! When are we expecting the next part?
Hopefully by next weekend
Ok
@@Cyclingwithgasolineanother parts issue bruv?
@@chetansutharx As always 😩. My second attempt at an exhaust didn’t work. I know the one I ordered was right, but it’s straight from India and the header wasn’t what was pictured. I got it from eBay and it’s not even worth trying to return. So, I’m going with a high mount, trail-style exhaust. I wanted to keep it low and traditional, but I’m liking this idea. Will look cool and give it some edge (and it’ll be loud as well). However, this exhaust needs different jets for the carb that I have for the original exhaust plan, so I needed to change that. I’m getting there and a video is coming soon. Thanks for being patient 👍
@@Cyclingwithgasoline waiting desperately to see that bullet getting started!
