I just read a review on the Bullet Electra Clubman.
Is this model not available in the USA?

No, it's not.  Too bad.  Where did you read the review?  Got a link?

Oh, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome, glad to have found this forum!

It's unfortunate the bike isn't available here, I love the looks of it.
I found the article in a British bike magazine.

Oh but it is available. One can just order the parts from your friendly local dealer or from CMW (RE USA). Order the kit, or just what you need......Dew.

The last time I checked the kits available stateside (Continental and Cafe) are Bullet-only and not yet available for the Electra X's.

I hope they do become available. The Clubman might be just the ticket!

CMW can special order the kit, but it is our experience that the Clubman kit for the bullet wasn't exactly a "bolt on" experience. It required a good deal of fabrication to get it to fit.

We quit selling the Clubman because not matter how many times we warned people about how difficult the conversion was and even tried to discourage them from buying it they ended up pi$$ed off at us. The Continental will be available for the Electra in our next catalog.

The Clubman in the Bridge Road M'cycles link has been for sale for a while - and is currently on UK ebay (or one very much like it). An awful lot of money for what they are. Could buy a pukka "original" cafe racer, Triton, Tribsa, whatever for not a lot more.

I think it's for the Classic models only at this time.

Is there any additional pictures of the statesider kit available to view? I only ask as I'm trying to decide which kit to order with I purchase my classic. I love the cafe and continual kits. But would like to take a closer look at the statesider from different angles.

Unfortunately we are taking the Statesider out of the new catalog. It will remain on-line until the last three that we have are gone. The problem is that the tanks became too expensive to replenish our supply. We will sell what we have for the online price and then stop. If you want one, now is the time,
