'49 Royal Enfield Hardtail Model G

This was a Craigslist find, I was in the airport just about to board a flight when I found it. I called Leon at Cycle Icons to see if he could work out a deal. When I landed plans were set for a trip to Boston to get this gem. We are working on the forks and fitting with new cables but otherwise is rideable as is. Leon's comment "It's like riding a Radio Flyer" as the spring seat and front float all over the place.
UPDATE 8/20/11 - Spent the day working on the forks and I properly screwed them up. I was milling down some rough spots from old welds to allow the new bushings to fit and gouged the hell out of the left fork. So I am now looking from some old springers. After giving up on that, I fitted new fuel lines and watched all the gas spill out of the petcocks. They would just spurt so cleaned that up removed the tank and ordering new petcocks.
