Not really interested in the performance, just want to see if a) it will work and b) bypass the holes by the hinge in the airbox that's letting in dust.

Update on a older upgrade already implemented. Finally managed to take a picture of the new sprag. Its a lot different from the older one and you could tell by the looks of it to be beefier and durable.

Another thank you for the pics.

Glad the E/S was engineered into the UCE from the get go and not an afterthought. ;)

No matter where you go, there, you are.

Initially I had to get the sprag replaced on my C5 twice but it has lasted 10k without any sign of failure so far so I am quite sure the new sprag should totally eradicate any sprag failure. But best to take precaution and stick with the starting procedure in mornings for G5 I has suggested earlier.

Thank you for the news and pictures SSR. Is is possible that some of the updates are built into the G5 aswell, for example the sprag?

You all ready have a sprag but just the old one. Sprag clutch is complete unit and sprag bearing in picture is a part of it. Over here its $67 for the new one (upgraded sprag), you could get the newer one when the older one dies on your bike.

Wow, I like the White on Black.  Nice piping on the seat.
Any other Enfields in New England?

That Italian Bullet is... well, perfect.  It definitely has more of the 1960's look I appreciate than any other C-5.  Kinda reminds me of a Bonnie.


...We're not getting them in the States, are we?
There's something that doesn't make sense... let's go and poke it with a stick.

It is nice to have another color option.  The piping the seat is very cool.

The white color is not one that I would order.  Black is best, imho, of course.
