Welcome to the ultimate video guide to restoring a vintage motorcycle - with the classic 1961 Royal Enfield Bullet 350.
In this series I focus on the iconic English made 1961 Royal Enfield Redditch made 350 Bullet.
This video is a summary of what you can expect to see over the coming weeks and months when restoring a 1961 Royal Enfield Bullet 350. I look forward to helping as many enthusiasts as I can.
Discovered in a barn rusting away, this Royal Enfield Bullet was rescued just in time. Through sheer frustration at so many 'over-my-head' explanations on how it should be done, I decided to produce a complete technical guide to all the processes required to restore a complete Royal Enfield.
90% of all the parts were painstakingly repaired, from the Smiths clock, the tank, bakelite switches, respraying and upholstery. I also cover the 6 volt challenges and the good and bad of LED lights on a vintage motorcycle.
Yes if you are thinking about restoring an English / British made vintage motorbike then you just lucked out! It doesn’t really matter what model or brand you choose, you will learn each step on how to organise your workshop, assemble the parts and most importantly…how to setup and tune the engine and the Amal carburettor.
Every week a new video will be uploaded covering a specific topic of restoration so PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL THEN LOOK AT THE TOP RIGHT OF YOUR BROWSER PAGE FOR A LITTLE 'BELL' ICON, CLICK TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN A NEW VIDEO IS PUBLISHED.

I'm a vintage motorcycles fan but you're a vintage god, I'm just dumbstruck and became fan for your amazing work.
Damn..That thumping exhaust note at the end!🔥🔥🔥
One of the best motorcycle
This is some kind of dark magic 🤯
Very conscientious restoration. I rescued a 1998 Bullet but it was much easier. The sound and feeling of riding an old British thumper is amazing.

Thanks Dave, yes it’s my favourite bike out of all my more sophisticated and expensive bikes so that tells you!
Firstly, my compliments on an excellent restoration. Also so nice to see that in addition to your technical skills, you have the other two essentials for working on British motorcycles: namely, 'a whole lot of patience, & a sense of humour. Thank you for sharing this.

Absolutely brilliant. Well done. I had a late 50s Bullet pass through my hands back in the mid 70s but I was young and stupid and chasing bigger stuff, so sold it on. Now downsized to a 350 Meteor. Iroic. Really entertaining video, thank you.

Finally a restoration that I"m NOT pissed off about after I watch it! I get so sick of these complete tear downs, where they strip the paint and old chrome, do some sanding, fill me with hope because they've made a great start, and then they put new paint over all the pitted metal they've failed to sand out or even fill and sand. And then have the gall to paint that stupid aluminum paint over the chrome or engine parts that would have been so easy to buff to a brilliant honest metal sheen. Thank you!

Dear Sir, I cannot tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon your channel and video. I have inherited my Dad's, 1956 Royal Enfield 350 cc, Made in England, motorcycle. It has been in disuse and I was looking to restore it. So, looking forward to going through each of your videos and restoring my father's bike. Again, thanks a lot! Warm Regards, Sangram Pune, India.

Brilliant restoration, thanks for sharing.
This restoration is excellently carried out and presented. Royal Enfield still inspires admiration today. This is one of the best renovations published on the internet! I have a lot of affection for this brand. Similar to the Polish motorcycle brand "JUNAK". Similarly, they talk to us with this specific sound of a single-cylinder four-stroke engine. The sentiment for both remains unchanged. Congratulations and best regards!

Appreciate your hard work put in to rebuild Royal Enfield. Enjoyed every second and minute of this rebuild video. I own a RE Interceptor 650 even though I am from young generation. Trust me RE has a different riding experience and that is completely different from OTHER manufacturers. Here in India RE is highest number of seller of 350 classic, GT and Interceptor and very popular with young generation. This bike are like our soul and connected.
