That is most of the fun with Motorcycles is making them yours. I do not see any BSA in my area, but we are getting some modern Triumphs and the smaller engine sizes usually are not to common here. I do enjoy seeing stuff from other parts of the world.
Just started this on my brand spanking new Classic 350. :) Pannier racks and a rear rack appeared from nowhere (teehee) Think I might mod the engine sprocket to make it even lazier. We will see. I have to keep the pillion. My partner would never forgive me if I left her out completely but I can enjoy solo running while it's new, and to be honest, bloomin cold still. Thank you so much, I cannot believe you redid everything for the camera (us really). You are a star. :)
I picked up a Meteor yesterday Bar end mirrors, single touring seat and pannier racks will be my first mods. It already has a DNA filter and Red Rooster silencer
Thanks for making this video. I’m thinking about buying a Meteor 350. I think the touring seat is a great upgrade. I think the crash guards will not only protect the engine but will provide more places for my GoPros.
My daughter is a student paramedic at Bradford uni .... I love watching TH-cam bikers around the world .... Great videos.. just a suggestion the short videos are great 👍 but longer ones really are cool to watch, when I watch others I settle down with a drink like I'm going to watch a film ha ha .... Good luck safe riding
@@restdayrider no trust me they won't also any negative comments let them blow in the wind ... Also even little trips to little country Villages Americans and others love to see it ..... 👍
Hi ..I love you enthusiasm and your changes are right for you..and it looks good! I have a Royal Enfield Meteor Stellar Red 350cc and love the bike, now commute to work on her everyday which is 68 miles.. I really enjoyed your blog and your determination to get your modifications done. I have subscribed to your channel as a fellow Royal Enfield rider.🌞🏍️
@@restdayrider you are very welcome..going out today on the bike, gorgeous weather here in North Wales..my bike is only 9 months old and 400 miles on the clock..so still running in! Have not gone over as yet 50 mph! ,🏍️🌞
Well done! Very helpful to me as the happy owner of a Fireball Yellow Meteor in Northern Kentucky thinking about a few mods. Love your down-to-earth style, and every time I watch one of your videos I resolve to visit the UK again asap, since it's been a long 15 years. All the Best! -
I'm learning to ride and the Meteor is probably going to be my first bike. I don't even own the thing yet and I'm already here looking for mods 🤣. Your meteor looks fantastic! Better than stock for sure and that's already a pretty head turner in my opinion.
I, too, am learning to ride & the RE Meteor is my first bike - super easy to ride... Started on a Honda Ruckus, then up'd to a Big Ruckus... then the Meteor. Really enjoying it! Hope your experience w/ your Meteor is as pleasant as mine has been... Cheers!
Your bike is so amazing. really love it. I too am planning to buy on in India. I want to just install a front wide tyre and change the handlebar to a slightly less curved one.
I have a short fly screen type thing on my 2021 Benelli Imperiale 400. The Meteor has a similar screen, as you say. I have found that amazingly, even the short screen stops some of the buffeting that the naked bike had. It has also removed completely, the need to clean bug off of the back of the clocks! A very worthwhile investment. Your own bike looks like a perfect light tourer to me! 👌
Really great work here. One little hint, try and keep a stock of flat nylon washers, in various sizes and add where appropriate where a bolt tightens against painted/powder coated metal. This will not only prevent the bolt from damaging the paint etc. when tightening down (preventing rust and damage to the finish), but also helps prevent any vibration from working loose the bolt 😊
Hi Charlie - really enjoying your vids! I need to point out that during the seat replacement segment, you did not move the metal grommits from the old seat to the new... I'm no rocket surgeon, but I do know those serve an important purpose in buffering the metal seat screw from the plastic tabs & help them to not deteriorate. Might want to make sure those are on the new seat soon... Cheers & look forward to the next vid!
I'm Navajo from Arizona. Just got ur channel. I see you ride a Royal Enfield. I'm going back to riding, it's been years since I rode. I had 1100 Honda Shadow. I've been thru lots of health problems n got a little older. I figure the RF Fire Yellow Meteor 350 with right hand shifter. Also highway bar n rear rack is good enough. I ride single. I live on the Navajo Reservation, in a small community, Dilkon Az. closes city, Winslow Az. Ride safe.
The Meteor seems to be the perfect choice for those returning to riding, it's compact and easy to handle and doesn't weigh like a small car! Ride safe. 😊
Thanks for the video, loving it. I am planning on buying a meteor and going touring on it, as well as using it for work. So your vids are very informative. :)
@@restdayrider Yeah ive been getting that impression from the vids about the bike. PS if your ever at Hull Royal or Castle Hill in your Ambulance and see Billy Connolly doing security, say hi to me :)
that clear mini screen you discarded... you can actually take the bracket off... very carefully drill 4 holes in it... and zip tie it onto the original mirrors and bars/light bracket... and adjust the angle so the wind is off your chest and doesnt buffet your crash lid when riding...you can get it mounted like this pretty securely...also if it topples over the screen doesnt break...once yav been behind a few lorries in the rain you wont be too bothered about the looks of it..... also..those crash bars.. in winter you can cut suitable plastic to shape(estate agent advertising boards) and zip tie those protecting your feet from the elements... (im giving away my bike courier secrets here) but the feet stay dry and warm you wont ever want to remove them..
Great add ons. I recently demo rode a Meteor 350 and really enjoyed it. Was surprised by how smooth the engine was for a single cylinder. I have a motovlog of the demo ride on my channel, if you are interested. Oh, and your audio is spot on, :-). Safe Travels.
Thank you! I've been experimenting with a new Go Pro and mix set up, I can now vlog from my helmet so that'll be fun touring. 😊 For me, the Meteor is spot on value for money, the after market add ons just makes it personable and perfection. 👌
A point to note about the touring seat is that it is slightly lower than standard and that lumbar support prevents the rider moving all the way back as can be done on the stock seat. The result is taller riders (I am 6'5") are pushed forward and down so it feels rather cramped. A better solution for some taller riders, including myself, would be a flat riders seat same height as standard running back to a wider foam fronted pillion seat...foam fronted to prevent uncomfortable interface between rider's back and pillion seat
I'm 5'11" and found the touring seat really pushed me towards the tank. Felt very cramped up. Further more it really dug into my coccyx. The stock seat felt like a rolls Royce over the touring seat...
Yeah 18 minutes is often my limit and although I absolutely loved the time I rode a Meteor, I don't own one, but this video kept popping up. Since I'm a lazy man and it's 2 clicks to say I'm not interested and only one for play, l watched it all. I'm impressed with the video, your editing, and sense of motorcycle style. Can't wait to see the Scotland trip. Maybe a photo shoot with your Meteor and Nessie 😄 Being a lazy man my only mods have been a rack for my gear and belt drive so I don't have to clean & lube the chain every 1,000km. Yep, I'm lazy.
Paaahaha your approach sounds very much like mine! Thank you for your comments, I'm really finding my feet with just being me and seeing what comes out on camera, and seems like it works so far, well, it does for me anyway! 😊
@@restdayrider Raining in Maine USA, so in my tent all day, but when you have TH-camBuddies, your friends are not far away. Thanks for the reply and for what you do serving others.
Personally I dislike the whole bar end mirrors idea and think that the bike looks better with standard, I'm also not a fan of the cluttered handlebar, but I get it that you have to use various cameras, but for me it is an Aesthetics thing, I also prefer the pillion seat to the stripped back plate idea and I actually like the backrest, I think it's part of the overall looks of the meteor stellar and supernova, but that's just me, still kudos on doing it all 👍🏻
I avoid calling them crash bars and stick with engine bars, silly I know but just my way of not tempting providence 🙂 Other than that, good work making the bike your own, all what you have done helps make your adventures more enjoyable.
That home made bash plate looks pretty decent. It's been well thought out by whoever made it. Just one thing. Keep an eye on the clips incase they start to damage the paint on the frame.
I was thinking, if you put a single wrap of black electrical tape round the frame it would stop any damage. Just as long as it doesn't stop the clips from clipping, if you know what I mean. 👍
I really enjopyed that, thank you. I am thinking about buying a Meteor and was wondering how the brakes perform, have heard they are a bit spongey and weak, and that wouldnt work where I live. I will test ride, just thought I' ask :-) Keep up the good work
Hi Richard, the brakes are not something I have had any issue with at all, not weak thats for sure, and I've had to pull them on a few times. Definitely test ride and see what you think. 😊
Just gone through 1000 miles on my meteor. Not sure that the dna filter alters the noise, couldn't detect any difference myself but will look at your reporting on this mod with interest
Thank you for another great video. Love what you’ve done to personalise your bike Charlie. I’ve been looking for the engine crash bars you’ve used but not found any exactly the same as yours. Would you mind sharing where you got them please?
It may have been the camera angle but was the expedition plate touching the back of that gorgeous seat? I hope not as it would soon cut through the seat covering. Some tasteful mods there well done, although I have to admit if I'd been the one holding the guard plate while you wielded a power tool I'd have bloody thick gloves on !! lol.
Hi, it actually does touch slightly, but after 1500 miles it's not left even a mark, so must be fixed down tight! And he is a brave soul indeed being anywhere close when I've got power tools. 🤣
I just bought a Meteor 350 and this was the first mod video I watched.. I love what you've done!! I just got the expedition luggage plate and I was wondering what you did (or maybe didn't have to do) with the brake and rear turn signal wiring, as it is now mostly exposed under the plate. Not sure if I should just wrap it all up in extra electrical tape, or if there's an additional housing you've found? Would love to hear your input :)
Very enjoyable vid. Regarding the ‘Tail tidy’ - can I ask if there is any drilling of the mudguard required? It’s okay I’ve just watched a video on fitting.
Is that the blitz Indian tail tidy, I've bought one, not fitted it yet but it looks like my indicators may point upwards at first glance, yours look spot on.
Important to use the correct torque settings when re-fastening vital components like engine mounting bolts, brakes, suspension, controls etc. Appreciate you may be new to spannering and that you get your own hands dirty. Hope you have someone to help or advise without being condescending.
That little exhaust guard on the brake pedal is a work of genius!
Making it your own with the things you need always gets a big thumbs up from me.
😊
That… was absolutely brilliant, I would imagine anyone with a RE Meteor is going to find this video really helpful well done 👏 till the next.M 🏍💨
Thank you Martyn! 😊
Enjoyed the vid, plenty of helpful tips & entertaining. I especially like your "assistant" & how not everything is straight forward. Thank you.

Great mods! This was the best vid on ‘how-to’ with honest real-time feedback I’ve seen yet! *edited for punctuation.
I just bought a Meteor 2 wks ago & love it so enjoyed watching to get ideas on what I may do with mine. Deciding on an engine guard is first up.
Nice work, Very thoughtful. I really liked expedition rack and side pannier racks, something i was looking for a long time...
Considering buying one of these Meteors and making a few modifications. You just made my mind up, it's so easy.
Thank you 👍🤘
Glad it helped. 😊
You are just brilliant! 12 months in and look at all that you have done. Well done indeed....
Thank you John. 😊

Isn't it just. 🤣
Awesome video! Super informative and kept it entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

That's great!
The stripe on the tank looks great.
For a few pounds it's definitely worth it!

Nice and well documented experience. Love it.
I’ve done almost the same and even more. Love your videos. Thanks.
The mods looks great on the bike, massive improvement
Some very good mods. Get those heated grips on before the chills start.
I think you made a better looking bike out of your 350 ! Keep up the good work .
Thankyou!
Great mods on your bike, nice to see that they are quite easy to do, I love my throttle lock.
Same, it proved very useful on my tour. 😊

led headlights are popular now here in the states. Also consider driving lights

Welcome to the Channel, and Thank you! 🫣
Next addition is adjustable leavers, once you have the screen on. Really enjoyed the vlog.
That's a really good idea! 😊
Good to see you're not afraid of getting your hands dirty. Might be worth investing in a pair of mechanic gloves to protect the manicure though?
cool mods! you inspired me to do something to my meteor aswell, because it looks naked somehow
