Title: Surprise no footpeg!
Post by: reichel on July 26, 2013, 04:36:05 pm: Hello fellow Enfield riders. I have a rather simple problem that is becoming a nightmare. Purchased my Bullet 2 years ago in April. This season I just started to ride 3 weeks ago due to a bad ear infection. I got on the bike the other day and noticed that my right side passenger peg and bracket was missing. Vibration I would guess. But calling my dealer left me on hold until I had to hang up. They also were not very nice when I took the bike in last year for service. I have just reached 1000 miles and I'm not looking for a hand out from Enfield, just a dealer that will stay on the phone and act pleased to help me out instead of bothered. I live on Long Island, NY but I don't mind travel if the service is good. Thank you, Rob.

I can highly recommend the folks at Cycle City in Sloatsburg, NY... not too far from you (a nice ride!). (They're an RE dealer and service center.) The general manager (Andy Abbene) really takes care of folks!

As far as new parts, have you looked at Hitchcocks online partsbook? Ive had a lot of lucks getting an odd assortment of parts on that site, fast and cheap shipping from the UK also
