BIKE FEATURE ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET 500

THE YOKES THAT

FASTEC RACING

PRODUCED FOR ME ARE

BEAUTIFULLY MADE

I wanted chunky matching
wheels and so two 16-inch Harley-
Davidson rims were laced to the
original Enfield hubs. Fitting
the rear wheel was easy (well,
easyish!) but the front one proved
to be a little more tricky. The
problem was that I needed to
find yokes that would widen the
front end but that would also fit
an Enfield. I asked a few Royal
Enfield places for advice, but the
answer always seemed to be “Why
would you do that to an Enfield?
They’re great how they are”!
Luckily I found Danny Starmer
at Fastec Racing in Newmarket.
He was completely unfazed by
my request and immediately
said that yes, of course he could
make a set of yokes. And that’s
just what he did; the front yokes
that he produced for me are
beautifully made—the gentleman The Doubter at the Bike Shed
