Aniket Vardhan has done it: his custom Musket 998 is finally in final shape... and looks way better than we imagined it ever would. Not long ago we reported about the Musket 998, the dream project of US-based design teacher who wanted to build his own large-displacement engine from two Royal Enfield units.
After painstaking efforts, the engine was ready and was extremely cool. Having it loaded on an unfinished frame left a lot to be imagined in the first place. However, the Musket 998 machine is now ready and has even been tested. We're going to show you some footage of the all-custom bike soon, too.
Aniket rode the Musket 998 as hard as cold weather and snow allowed him to, and couldn't be happier: the bike delivers great torque right off idle and the beefed-up clutch does not slip, even with so many more HP added to the bike. Wiring, re-routing and custom badges are die in a short time.
The Musket 998 also received symmetrical custom exhausts and has the shifter on the right side. If you've ridden old-school Indian bikes, this should not be too much of a problem, in case you stumble upon Aniket as spring comes and he's willing to lend the Musket for a ride.
