Hi,
Does anyone know if custom rigid frames exist for the Bullet 500 Classic 2017?
I want to swap the frame for a classic rigid look.
I've seen rigid rear ends for conversion on ebay, but I want to replace the entire frame.
Thanks!

Rajputana could obviously build one for you, look what they did on this 650. Hitchcock's has a pre-unit hardtail that might be adaptable. It all depends on how much blood & treasure you want to part with. Maybe better to get a cheap scuffed up UCE and modify that frame, that'd at least save DMV hassel. In a job like this there's no "cost effective" methodology as it's basically an art project. The capital outlay devolves to whatever you are willing to part with.

ROYAL RIGID: Enfield 650 Bobber by Rajputana Customs.

When you combine the oldest motorcycle brand still in production and the oldest form of true customisation, it seems good things just always happen. A bobbed Royal Enfield might be the most cost-effective custom you can come up with, whether you’re looking to build a donor old or new. But, if you want that bike to really stand out from the crowd and truly be something spectacular, you need to find a builder who deeply understands what makes the humble RE so special. Enter Indian bike building royalty, Rajputana Customs, who armed with a new 650 Twin have made all your wishes come true, with a build they call ‘Starlight’.

Certainly custom hardtail frames exist for RE's.

Craig Jones has built a bunch of them.

And Paul Smith and Stuart Cantellow have also turned out quite a few at Rag & Bone Customs.

But, if you are asking for an Amazon or an Ebay link, or a link to ANY storefront, selling a finished frame, I doubt that will ever exist.  And if it did, that frame wouldn't be the CUSTOM, you asked for, would it?

There is THIS,  "kit bobber conversion":

And, there are even some rumors that RE themselves is pursuing a Bobber model of the "J" 350.
Will it have softail styling like the images attached to this article?   https://www.rushlane.com/2023-royal-enfield-classic-350-bobber-render-7-new-colours-12433224.html

I very much doubt that.  Probably more like this:  https://www.bikewale.com/news/royal-enfield-bobber-350-test-bike-spotted-again/
