"Little Dug" has been on a diet. I do love that Royal Enfield still uses steel for the mud guards. So why would I go to Plastic guards? The help that 20 bhp engine out? Also removed the rear seat frame and the heat shields on the cat pipe. This all added up to 13 kilos. The rear guard is a cut down plastic motocross front guard. It is mounted to the seat base plate and with 2 cut down rear guard stays from a C5 Bullet. The front, which was done sometime ago, is 2 small cafe racer plastic guards bolted together and then mounted to front forks via a hand made bracket. As I get asked so many times as to what tyres I am running, they are Duro HF308 Tyres 3.50 19 front. 400 18 Rear. They are really good on gravel/hard packed dirt roads and really ok on wet tar.
