Attached are three photos of a 2001 Royal Enfield Bullet(?) that I saw today. The owner said that he had replaced the iron cylinder barrel with some sort of aluminum barrel, along with making a lot of other modifications to the bike, using mostly Hitchcock parts. The bike looks really good to me and I liked the changes that he made.
However, since I know little about the Iron Barrels, I'll let you be the judge of his work.
