Default Re: cast alloy question

all processed metal not in raw earth form is an alloy so dont let that term fool you. as for your bike i cant say since i have never owned an enfield before but the frame components should be mild steel and the engine/trans should be aluminum castings, as well as the front fork lowers. the fork uppers will be hard chromed steel. the engine cylinders (where black) might also be a cast steel but i am not for sure. i hope this helps to clear some of the confusion.
