a custom diesel powered 1959 Enfield Bullet

During test rides, we realised our motorcycle possessed the characteristics of a peacock - it can make people's jaw drop as it danced while being aloof all the time. Peacock is also our national bird and being from an Indian armed forces background, all those childhood lessons in patriotism started to make sense. Let's not forget that the Bullet is our national motorcycle. In addition, peacocks can "sort of '' fly and we have 6.3 HP at our disposal, remember? Similarities aren't uncanny; or are they?

So, the motorcycle was stripped and the chassis was set up in a jig to restore it to it's original specs. Post that it was sent to for a custom hydrochrome paint.
As a part of our re-imagination, we reworked the speedometer and delicately placed an actual peacock feather on the dial. We used the ampere meter casing and a quartz movement was installed by one of the best precision watchmakers in the state. The clock dial was also given the peacock feather treatment to match.

We chose the colour that we believe best represents an Indian Peacock, it's vibrant and rich. We sent the parts to our local paint shop, a few of them for powder coating and a considerable amount of parts for electroplating. A few other parts like the front brake cam, part of the flywheel, wheel hubs, fog light mount, air filter and a diesel fuel line were carefully hand-painted in gold and detailed to perfection. The painted parts were then sent for 3M paint correction and surface protection treatment.
