Overland 2013 royal enfield bullet 500 mods?
Hi all, I plan on taking my north American market bullet 500 to south America next year. Just wondering if there are some things I should modify for more longevity. So far the plan is to upgrade valve train, take bike to bare chassis and sandblast it, re weld the factory welds for more strength then paint/ powder coat it for protection. Also doing a carb swap, swap battery terminals for some heavy on the duty ones. From what I hear the factory Chain is not very good so possibly that too. I was also thinking of redoing all of the wiring with python tape or something of that nature just to keep it more waterproof. I will be caring some spare parts like sprockets , spare NGk plugs and some other things but Im not going to carry all the replacement parts obviously. Is there any spares or mods that you guys would reccomend that I do that I haven't mentioned? And please no comments on don't do the trip on this bike or anything along those lines. I've already heard it, I'm doing it on this bike because it's the bike I love. Thanks to all replys!
