I have a 2005 Bullet with the full 535cc Fireball engine modification (#49), now at 40HP. I live in Thurmont, MD and meet a group of motorcyclists in Annapolis occasionally. This new engine is fantastic! Before the modification, I tried riding it to Annapolis, 68 miles one way, and the piston seized on the return trip. After the mod, I tried the Annapolis trip again, confident that the new engine would make the trip uneventful. I was 3 miles short of my destination and the bike quit running; turned out that the coil (Lucas, of course) had failed. To make a long story short, I made it home on a borrowed coil from an old VW Bug. Replaced the coil with a non-Lucas one, wrapped in rubber from an old inner tube for vibration isolation. The engine is great, but the rest of the bike is a work in progress. Attempting another Annapolis trip in a couple of weeks. My friends have been ridiculing my Enfield for years. I have something to prove with this next trip. Wish me luck!
Just joined the forum, hope to make many friends.
