I was surfing sites, and found the pictures and repair story of my bike on your site!!!
I bought my first Enfield in 1971 in Bangalore, and rode it all over south India. about 200,000 kms by 1990. Then came to USA. In 2009, bought a 500 cc Enfield here, and in 2010 I was in Bangalore getting my Old Faithful restored.
I ride my bikes to work everyday here in California. People looked at Enfields with admiration in India, and they look at them with admiration here!
