Thank you 🎉

@@JJ-mp1nj thank you so much…really appreciate your comment and so pleased it helped🤗

Fantastic…a rare tool, never sell it🤗

Thank you so much Moto, it does work really well. I have sold one but think it is too expensive for most people so understand it. But it takes so long to make and the materials are really expensive.

@@TT-it6cr thank you so much…sadly as I get older those moments are becoming very rare😵‍💫

@@dbavidb thank you so much for your comment…I honestly appreciate it🤗

@@howardbuckley2935 Hi Howard, yes you are right. Went there on the Goldwing in July, fabulous 😍

Hi Darrell, it does work. I was pulling my hair out and could not find a way🥳.

@@Mrbumbons1 Sounds great 😊 Just take your time and enjoy or it can turn into a nightmare😫

@@curtiscregan Hi Curtis, thank you so much for your comment🤗. Really pleased it has helped and given you the confidence, well done. It is amazing what you can do even though you are so sure you can’t 😀

@@morenachoz thank you so much morenachoz for your comments 😍

@@davidfalgout7304 excellent David… you can do it🤗

@@jarkkovento thank you Jarkko, I appreciate your comment. Yes the alternator belt ‘trick’ can save a lot of time and sore fingers🤗

Hi Pete, If the existing holes are 20mm and you haven't had to drill the old studs out then just screw in the new studs until they stop...full 20mm. The danger is if you have had to drill the old studs out as there is an oil channel just after the end of the existing hole that you will not know about. Drill into that and you will never stop oil leaking. So just screw new studs in until the stop and that will be perfect. You will probably have 'Domed' nuts. Everything should work but if the nuts hit there inside stop before they tighten your manifold on then you can either A: trim off the end of the studs or B: Use normal nuts that are not domed. I hope that makes sense...if you are not sure please come back to me. 😀

Excellent...I must admit I didn't like doing the throttle adjustments 😮‍💨

@@artiecisneros4691 oh if it was only that easy my friend…when you are in your mid 70’s🤣. Could not get my current bike on the Easy/Hard Park so sold it on eBay…to a tough military body guard😵‍💫

@@GarySchechner thank you Gary for such encouraging comments. Enjoy your wonderful GS😍

Thank you so much...appreciate your comments, even though I have sold the trailer now because I bought a Goldwing and the bike is longer than the trailer...well almost!

@@kaiwong7692 I never realised that, what a crazy figure😮. Now I have added a Givi luggage rack🤔. I will let you know if the back half of my Goldwing breaks off🥵😵‍💫

@@LandyAndy62 the metal plate that I drill and tap is only 2-3mm thick. Hand cutting the thread I noticed that most of the few bits of swarf remained on the tap🤗

Yes that sometimes works, but not for my GS 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@davebarrowcliffe1289 ha ha, absolutely right Dave. When I fitted all 3 GS’s with the ‘orange’ headlight guards we set off for three days in Snowdon, expecting to get stopped by the first police car that came towards us…nothing😬🤩

@@richardho5955 hi Richard, so pleased it worked for you. Almost 70,000 views on that video🤩

@@richardho5955 that sounds brilliant Richard🤩

@@JM-rw9je thank you so much…really appreciated 🤗

@@richardho5955 Hi Richard, yes I am fine. Sorry there have been no videos. I started the ‘bike trips’ around the Peak etc last year, but somehow had very little interest😵‍💫, compared to the rebuilding views. Problem with rebuilding bikes, which many subscribers have requested more, is that they cost so much excluding the hundred plus hours work. I have done three in total and each have only sold for half the cost😬. Hope to come up with more ideas🧐

As much as I love your GS videos and your GoldWing adventures, I’m just happy to hear that you are keeping well and enjoying life. I’m sure you have priorities, as we all do and I’m sure they’ll work themselves out! If I had the time I’d probably find a restoration project, video document that rebuild, then flog the bike and use the proceeds to go on another trip! 2 birds, one stone! Take care and ride safe! 🏍️😊👍🍺🇿🇦

Hi Steve, As you can see on the video the removal is a nightmare. The extraction tube, bolt and washer came with the Wunderlich Riser kit. The tube is 280mm long, 25mm outside diameter and 23mm inside diameter. The reason I know is that I have just found it!! Thought I would have used that long ago and cut it up. If it helps I can post it to you, no cost. You will have to find a bolt and washer. The GoPro mount will not fit the Insta remote. In fact the GoPro mount will not fit the latest GoPro remotes anymore and I have had to come up with a totally new mount for the GoPro remote (on my web site). Let me look back at my video's to see how I fitted the Insta remote. Will come back to you.

Hi Steve, Had to look at my TH-cam video on the Insta 360 mounted to my RT. I remember the Insta Remote came with a 'half round' plastic holder. I made a solid bar of brass the same diameter as that and drilled it to bolt onto the RH bar as you see in the video. It worked and held the remote fine but just too small to be able to read anything while I rode. However the remotes I believe have changed so whole idea might be different as per GoPro. ??

@@normski3091 Hi Norman that would be great if you can sent tool, don’t mind paying postage. If I get the bar backs on they have a bar for mounting things so I should be able to use the selfie stick strap. Thanks again Norman

Hi Steve...do I send it to Basingstoke Fire Protection as before?

@@normski3091 yes please Norman

Really not sure? The Shad Topbox has a passenger back rest as an optional extra. It would be worth asking Shad their opinion. It is such a good product for the Goldwing. I have now added the GIVI luggage rack as the panniers do not have that much capacity😃

Thank you…At the moment we are in a hotel in Stratford upon Avon where I bought the Goldwing having the bike serviced. Pick up after breakfast and head into the Cotswolds for a perfect day of riding😎

Hi Steve, I had orders for 5 RAM Bolts on Friday for Canada and Ireland. As I was making them I thought I would make an extra set while I had time on my lath 😄. So just about to go to the Post Office to post yours to you😆. Thank you for your order and supporting me. Fitting the 360 was tricky. As you will have seen it was on my RT at the time. I had fitted engine bars and riding lights. I put a RAM U bolt with 1" ball onto the bottom of the engine bar. Then bought a RAM 1" ball with the 1/4" screw that went straight into the bottom of the Insta invisible selfie stick. I then turn down a 'tube' the same size as the selfie stick at that position, drilled a hole in the side of this tube and there was just enough room to bolt it to the Denali riding light mount. This meant that I could raise or lower the selfie stick to whatever height I required. It worked well but the Insta 360 I had I just struggled to be able to see if it was on or not. The Insta remote was on my handlebar but screen too small for me to see what I was doing. In the end I sold the Insta and bought another GoPro. Just out of interest I looked at the latest Insta 360 the other day and they have changed so much that I think it would work really well on the system I had. Hope that helps, don't have any pictures!! Must rush to the Post Office. very best Norman

@@normski3091 Thanks Norman i have a 2022 RT and have a M10 thread on the right side (probably for a mirror) so was thinking a insta stick would go straigh on there maybe.

@@5teve694 Hi Steve, I presume that the Insta still uses the world wide standard 1/4” thread that rules the photographic world…as per tripods etc. if that is the case you will need a male 10mm thread to go into your mirror socket and then a 1/4” male thread to go into your Insta. I cannot imagine that this is something you can buy😵‍💫. I did cut 1/4” threads working on mine but it may have been a tap and not a die that I bought. Let me check in my garage and come back to you🤗

Hi Steve, as I guessed I only have 1/4” taps. To make an adapter for 1/4” to 10mm I would need to buy a 1/4” die. Can be done, if you want one let me know and I will make it for you👍

@@normski3091 ​​⁠Thanks Norman just looked a a Video on and if you buy the insta bike kit you can pretty much clamp it anywhere. One guy put it on his bar ends. Thanks for looking into for me though. I’ll wait until I get it and have a play.

@@CaroPoodle nowhere near enough😵‍💫. I really thought it would make a big difference…maybe a couple of mm. I should have spent the money on Cuban heal boots🤣🤣

@@dynamicdad1054 yes it is amazing. I lived in the Shetland Islands for 11 years and actually the winters were wonderful, sometimes, it was the summers that disappointed ☹️

Hi Phil, absolutely right😀. The Strines much more demanding and dangerous than Snake Pass. I did my IAM Masters 6 years ago and the observer, a retired bank manager, took me over the Strines a couple of times as it tests everything about riding. I passed the Masters test but it only lasts 5 years and expired last October. Haven't taken it again because of the expense and I kept thinking 'why'...done it once!

Hi Helen, I power my GoPro from an external powerbank so it will film for 8 hours with a 256gb card. So often I just let it film all day and then cut the video to under 30 minutes. I find that over 30 minutes is too long ... but that is just me.

@@AndrewMobly sounds good Andrew🤗🤩

@@MdK46 thank you appreciate that. So few views of the bike travel videos compared to rebuilding bikes, which always cost twice as much as I could sell them for so hard to do that on my state pension😵‍💫. So I haven’t done any for a year…sorry😭

@@normski3091 cause you used to fix a lot the GS, haha :). I'm doing research on the Arran, Islay and Mull and your videos stand up; i was in the Highlands 2 years ago and i can see from your playlist i already watched some of your other videos. It takes time to bring a video here but i bet, with time, your travel videos will raise above the other ones. we look forward to your new adventures with the shinny Honda ;)

@@MdK46 thank you for your encouragement MdK…just charging my two GoPro’s up as I type🤗

Hi Wallace, thank you probably more warts. Two years ago I bought a new 1250GS and never ever managed to get it on the ‘not so easy’ mover😢. Actually I never managed to get it on the centre stand on the garage floor😂😱. So I have a Goldwing now and never even tried, it has reverse and forward crawl so no needed. Sold it a military guy with better muscles than me 😮

@@CLLUK Simonize tough paint satin black. I had to look back at the video and didn’t realise that I hold the can up🤣

The whole thing was a nightmare 😮. Managed to remove it with no problems and fitted it perfectly to my friends 1250GS 😊

@@aaronli4171 hi Aaron, yes doing well. Just backed off from doing TH-cam videos at the moment😮

Hi Gabriel, Noises from the back are so difficult to pinpoint. You are right, could be tyres etc etc but a good idea to Strat with changing the oil and having a good check of the Final Drive. It is not difficult and you will find great satisfaction in doing a good job. Well done you 😃

Wow Norman, never realised that…makes you never want to buy from them again🥵
