Hi All,

Just a quick hello for my first post. Just looking at the possibility of a diesel bike at the moment, may jump on if I can find a way that doesn't call for a mechanical engineering bent

Welcome Brian,

So tell us, where you from and what are you thinking about building?

Hi Brian and welcome to the forum.

feel free to post up what your thinking of putting together and have a good look through Stuarts website http://www.dieselbike.net/ and other great sites out there that take a look at Diesel bikes.

Some of the bigger conversions are complex, but some are very easy to achieve, maybe with a little help if your not very mechanically minded.

Just remember to ask for help, there are great people on this forum who posses a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help out.

Cheers

Andrew

Thanks guys,

I was thinking I could buy a diesel bike rather than build one but I have a garage and workbench and some unexpected free time so maybe I should consider the DIY option.

I contacted Jack Minto at Classic Motorcycles Ltd and he quoted me close to £5000 and a 5 week build time for a Robin Enfield, a bit too expensive for me but something based on the Enfield Bullet is what I would be looking at from what I've read so far.

Thanks for your offer of help/advice it will definately be needed

Thanks,

I Think Charnwood were doing a refurbished old bike at about £3k, but not sure if they still trading in bikes

If you are looking for a Diesel Enfield in the UK you could do no better than get in touch with Henry at Price parts in Gloucester he can sell you one for about £2600 or supply the parts for you to do it yourself. I have a Greaves Lombardini from him and apart from replacing all the Nuts with Nylocs have had no problems in over a Thousand miles...

try this link although he is on holiday in spain on his Enfield at moment.

He can supply all the parts or build it for you.
He is using Yanmar clones at the moment although he has Greaves Engines
