Yes, see, if you can set the tank a little lower in the back and the seat a little upwards, so it will be flush.
Maybe if you give the subframe a little bend and use lower gauge diametre, it might look more in place.

Hi Andy,

Ralf is right - it is a nice looking bike but the line can be optimized. For me the gas tank looks good but the seat has to be liftet up at the front so the bottom edge of the seat follows the line of the gas tanks bottom edge.
But there will be a gap between seat and Frame - could you lower tha tank and the seat a bit?

I also would agrree with Andreas - electric starter is a critical part at the Enfield and not necessary at all. Maybe you can disassamble and use a side cover of a non-starter-version which looks much better.
Without a starter you also can use a pretty smal battery.

Greetings, Christoph

I can lower the tank only 1 cm. The seat is only temporary, When I bring my welder, i will make a new toolbox and seat alu
I can not remove the starter, I have a sick leg. I can not kick.
I have a tire of 350 rear, what fender width to order?
Thank you very much, for all your advice, this is my first bike after 30 years.

Andy

Yeah, way better.
You're already sure about the color scheme? Just thinking about the prominent red seam and the rear shocks.

I would like to add a few more red elements. Oil tubes? Spokes?
What do You think about it?

I don't think I'm the right guy to talk to when it comes to colors, to be honest.
But I have a soft spot for british bikes and I don't know if red would be my first choice. It's a fine line between 'classic' and 'boring' but also between 'different' and 'too much'.
At the end of the day it must suit you, nothing else counts, but there is more than british racing green. Bare metal and brass f.e. :mrgreen:

I think the bike looks brilliant almost the way it is right now. To me this is basically what cafe racer is all about.
I could imagine a light brown (nude) leather seat and the shocks chromed, pretty well. Maybe a batterie cover in the same color the seat would be would be cool. Olschool (tweet-style) warped igntion cables as an accent and I would fall in love. But that's just ideas, your bike, your style. :)

I would leave the colour of the seat as it is and would only apply a black powerder coating to the rear shocks.
More red parts could easily destroy the classic look.

Why not a red "Royal Enfield" script on the Tank? That's not "too much" and makes sense, too ;)
