Damn it! >:(
I've been looking at donor Bullets on fleebay. ::) The trials kit look like a very good deal.
What are the two gears for below the main picture? Is it some sort of drive reduction?

 If its the transmission gear set for the four speed gearbox then you have a few options.
1.  Standard I.E. factory standard ( has a bit of a gap between 3rd and 4th )
2.  Close ratio: raises 1st, 2nd 3rd closer to fourth, a good choice for sporty road going Bullets
3.  Wide ratio: lowers 1st, 2nd 3rd away from fourth, handy for trail trail and green lane Bullets.
No matter where you go, there, you are.

Not sure if this has been posted before, I found this and thought it may be of interest to some members.
This could have been the Himalayan, it's certainly closer to REs heritage in international trials. I think it was built about two years ago. Is the owner/builder a forum member?
I think its this one:

Here's some more food for thought.

One of my biggest let downs with RE( not including RENA) was the introduction of the Hymulayin ADV bike.
I was hoping for a "Steve Macqueen" style scambler.

If RE actually built a factory made scrambler, for the price of a C5, or a CGT if it had the double cradle frame, I would have bought it. But to buy a new bike, then remove most of the parts, and spend tons of money replacing them with custom parts sounds kinda like the Harley way of doing business.
