I think if I tried to spend that much on a seat cover, my Mrs would provide a mind changing yet supportive hoof in the spuds.. Eye watering!
Hahaha! No possibility of the 'comfort = safety' argument?! 😜
Fabulously made video Andy - tip my hat to you on that one, very professional looking....and that seat looks beautiful doesn't it! Pricey mind.......but when you consider what they're doing for you - given it's bespoke an' all - I guess it would be.....nice one!
Not as pricey as carpet 😂😂 but yes a bit pricey, but as you say custom.
Pfft Andy get one for the Goodwing. 😅 Good luck!
Lol MotoUK
cough..... Thousand Pound heated seat with crap switch detail......uncough
Many thanks indeed Andy. Thought I'd put the spare time to good use with a bit of extra faffery! The seat is gorgeous mate. Very much looking forward to putting it to a real test asap. Hopefully the reason for the cost will become apparent. Ride thee well! 👍🏻
Great to see a video from you , and at the min I’m balls deep restoring a 23 yr old fazer , that doesn’t need a seat at the min , but I’m slowly turning it into a cafe racer style bit by bit , so in the future I will look back on this video , very Handy , Andy ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
That reminds me, I actually DID have a custom seat on the FZS600 too! Proper comfy it was too! NO idea where it came from though. Second hand purchase innit. I hope the restoration is going well Shane. I'm sure you've had some extra progress with all this forced downtime nonsense!
Hope the lugoles are healing well. That's a lot of green shield stamps but you can see the quality. Like the idea of gaining some height too. I had a very pretty girl do my scooter seat with vinyl, back in the day, before my eyes, in about half an hour. I think I paid 60 Euros ! She did a good job.
They're coming along nicely thanks VD. Ah, the good old days when you could have stuff done locally, cheaply AND while you wait! A bygone era sadly!
What a lovely job!😂 Hats off to SW motech for the support to the channel. Its nice to see its not just the Likeable Rider getting all the goody's😛
Haha! Well said! Yeah SW are definitely the strongest channel supporter! Luckily it's all REALLY good gear too! More to come in the near future!
Going for a film Oscar lol 😊
Haha! Motovlogger Oscars! One day! 😄
Did something very similar on my CB650R, and added gel as well. Looks gorgeous, congrats
Very nice! This one has some kind of space aged 3D mesh that apparently acts like gel, but flows air too, so it stays cool and light. We'll soon see! Enjoy the comfort Daniel!
Ahw man - I didn't need/want a new seat for my MT10....but now you might have gone and done it.., I too might have to get one.. ;) Top work, best production values of all the moto vloggers out there who all now need to raise their game to keep up... ;) :)
I accept no responsibility for your sudden wants and needs! 😜 Thanks Matt. We'll have to wait and see if I can find the time to repeat this level of faffery again!
Stunning work my friend! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.....when will that beeeeee?
We are all looking forward to seeing you two back together! Hope that is soon, get well!
Brokeback !
@@mikejgriffiths needs must Mike😝
We'll meet again, don't know how, don't know wheeeeeeeeen....
It can't be much longer mate. The people are crying out for some live action!
Sooon Shawn, soooon!
Nice product. And the video - wow! You have become an artiste. Hope you are recovering well from your surgery, whatever a "lug-hole" is. Take care and be safe!
Thanks John! Thought I'd push myself a bit on this one! A 'lug-hole' is your ear! I had to have mine taken apart and reconstructed! 🤮 More about that another time!!
@@AndyManCam yikes! So your own gubbins have been messed with. Best wishes!
Very much so! There's now more titanium in my head than on the bike! 😜
Wow.... someone's upped their game... video is on another level! Love the seat too. Good job Mr Mancam 👍
Cheers Dave! I had to do something with my forced time away from the bike! Nearly burst my stitches doing the first bit in the garage! 😂
Ooft.. take it easy mate... we need you back in one piece 👍
Don't worry. The Mrs put her foot down and garage visits were banned til after the doctors all clear! 😂
Get you being all domestic and making your own coffee. Hope the op went well. The seat looks good, hopefully it will be comfortable on any trips. Ride safe.
Sadly the slaves have all had to be sent home due to Corona 😞 . Fingers crossed for the comfort factor. It certainly looks and feels the part though! Cheers!! You too!
That looks great, really suits the bike! Those lounge pants are rather spiffy too.
Thanks ZG, it does look rather tasty, doesn't it! The lounge pants sadly don'T come in a kevlar variety. But as soon as they do....
Always entertaining but now fantastic production as well. It's like a real video. Nice one mate.
Much appreciated Stephen! We'll have to wait and see if the standard stays this high! It only took 5 weeks to make this one!!
I think the coffee shots are great. I would never have thought of that but works so well..
Cheers! It's never taken so long to brew a coffee before!! 😂
The best thing I ever did was get after-market seats for my bikes (yeah, more than one!!). Before SW-Motech were doing it I'm afraid. I can't recommend getting a Gel seat highly enough. Enjoy!
Oh, and you really need to start drinking decent coffee! 😂
I've only ever had one, and that was a second hand one. SO this is very exciting new territory for me! Looking forward to getting bum on seat for real! I like my coffee!! 😝😝 Tastes better without a Gopro in it though.
Outstanding job and service. You and Mr likeable really get looked after. Excellent video look after yourself brother.
Thanks Doc. Yeah SW seem to like what we do. Which is great, because we really like what they do! You too mate!
What a wonderful Seat. Awesome 👍🏻
It is a fine piece of sitting technology! Just can't wait to really acquaint my arse with it for real!
Wow! No guessing with what else you've been playing with during your convalescence 👌 Cracking work there Mr. Thanks for the video and hopefully see you back in that very saddle soon.
Haha! Me and the cameras have become very good friends! 😜 Thanks PTVp, fingers crossed for a rideout soon!
Watching you has given me the best ideas on what to do with the cb1000r I’m going to get, so thank you my man! Safe travels.
Glad to hear it Chris! Watch this space as there are several new mods coming over the next couple of weeks!
@@AndyManCam Will do!
👍🏻🙌🏻
Ooo, like the new intro, very flash. Glad to hear the erectile dysfunction Op went well ;-)
Thanks mate! Yep, all good. Can't keep the thing down nowadays!...
That looks awesome. Will be having a look for my bike, may even be slightly cheaper than a Corbin.
Cheers mate! I agree! I must admit, I didn't look at the cost of other equivalents. Just too excited to be getting it custom! But interesting to see that it might be cheaper than a Corbin, yet personally tailored! Having the SW brand is a nice touch too.
That was an absolute joy to watch. 👍
Many thanks M Plus 1!
Looks fantastic I think Andy glad you’re on the mend looking forward to seeing your new videos when you get back to 💯 mate 👍👍👍
Thanks Dale! SHouldn't be tpoo much longer now mate. Probably just enough time to get the rest of the mods done!
Great video, really like the way you gave it your spin... 👌👌
Cheers Gren! Thought I'd take this one as far as a seat fitting video could go!!
Superb video as always Andy😁👍🏻 The seat looks awesome, a really nice job.
Cheers Keith, thanks for watching mate!
I like the seat and love the editing! Great work Andy!
Thanks Niklas! Glad you like it!
Excellent cinematography Andy, and loved the storyline. Great vid!
Huge thanks Justin! Really enjoyed making this one!
Nice to see you on the mend. Lovely seat, it sure goes with the bike. Love the extra effort in editing. Very sharp looking.
Thanks Stephen. Yeah I'm almost at 100% mate! 👍🏻
Impressive, most impressive. Great production Andy, I see you put the non-riding time to excellent use. The seat looks epic...
Cheers Mike! I've never had a problem with filling my 'free' time with something! 😊
Worth it even if you only watch the first minute. Epic intro.
Thanks very much TG!
Great video, thanks for that!
I've been pondering on getting a comfort seat for my bike. It's good to know that SW-Motech has a configurator available.
I'm really looking forward to your test and review!
Cheers!
Thank YOU! I realise in hindsight that I didn't really show many of the other options available on the configurator! LOADS of choice! I'm looking forward to me testing too! VERY much!! 😁
@@AndyManCam how was the testing?
Looks amazing. Sw motech have done a really good job with it. Too expensive for me to have mine done unfortunately 🙃
Thanks BBB! Yeah sadly it is a bit of a luxury upgrade. The cost isn't lost on me and I'm massively grateful of the chance to have it done! 😊
This is cheaper way to get a more comfortable ride than buying Ohlins rear suspension! I want this seat!
Just for the extra comfort well worth it . Cheers Andy man
Totally agree Paul! Thanks!
Cracking piece of videography. Well done that man.
Many thanks indeed BB!
Looks the mutts nuts a great mod on your stunning bike
It really does work with it, doesn't it! The first of a line of mods coming for this new season. The next of which will be a nice bit of brushed titanium tank action...
Hi Andy, Sorry I’m a little slow off the mark on this video. I’ve noticed that a few comments have already given you a pat on the back for a sensational intro and video production 👍❤️🎥. Not to sound too repetitive but may I also say that the attention to detail that you meticulously went through to produce this video deserves as many accolades as you can get 👍.
SW Motech does outstanding motorcycle accessories and this seat transformation is no different. Your new seat combination looks absolutely first class 😀.
I’ll have to check out if they offer the same service here in Australia.
Keep up the good work (it’s hard to believe that you’re a one man band)
Cheers 🇦🇺
Many, many thanks Peter. It was a really rewarding challenge putting this one together! A bit of a test of what I can do if I spend a little more time planning! I'm not sure if the SW seat service reaches that far, but stranger things have happened! Good luck!
hi loving the videos I'm looking at upgrading my bike from the cb650f and I've decided on the cb1000r+black edition had a test ride on it yesterday and loved it
Thanks Stuart. It's a smasher of a bike! I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much!
You’re getting good at this video carry on nice seat keep it going
Thank you, Peter. I most certainly will try!
Seat looks fab and who doesn't love a good configurator anyway. Nice video too as always, editing even more on point than usual.
Configurators for the win! Many thanks mate!
Now that was a slick production - nice one Andy
Many thanks Andy. I really rather enjoyed it. Next video should be along in about 6 weeks!! 🤣🤣
Now that looks a posh place to park ones bottom. Nice video too
Ta very much Simon! A posh bottom park indeed!
Great quality Vid Andy👍 Class seat!! looks smart, better than TLRs’ 😂should match Fish Nets !! “I wear girley susspendies and hang about in bars !!”.............pleased to see it looks like the opp went well ?.... eagerly awaiting next bling installment !!
Hahaha! Thanks Ricky. You're a man of taste! I'll hang on until Knox make some CE certified fishnets before I go that far though!! 🤣 The op was for all intents and purposes a resounding success, thanks. More bling on the way, I promise!
The new seat looks absolutely stunning! Great work from SW Motech 👌
Cheers Damien. I totally agree. And now that I've finally been out on the road with it, I can confirm that it is indeed more comfortable. It hasn't made the bike Goldwing comfy, but it's doubled the time it takes before I need a break. Not bad for something that looks sleeker and cooler than the original!
@@AndyManCam, great looks and kind on the bottom. Big positives for the seat already, and testament to their high standards.
Some nice editing skills, you made an entertaining video out of fitting a seat (well done 👏) always enjoy your videos, keep them coming 👍
It was a challenge, but I had some spare time! Next up, a 10 minute video on polishing downpipes....
Love the editing here buddy!
Thanks very much Nick! I really used the extra free time as best I could! 😊
Superb edit! Seat looks mint too. Very jealous.
Thanks Smokey! Couldn't just put my feet up while the bike was off limits! Not sure I'll ever have the time to repeat this again though!! 😆
Wow, you really went all out with the shooting and editing for this! Did I tell you that I got a Z900RS Cafe? I will be riding it mostly stock this season, but will probably change the paint and get the seat done in the winter. It’s cool that SW Motech offers this, but I’ll go with a local artisan for mine. Hope you’re healed up and riding by now! Enjoy the sensual cupping of your delicate posterior by the supple man-made materials!
Cheers! Yeah, I had some 'free' time, so thought I'd try out some new stuff! Was a lot of fun figuring it all out. Might be a new technique entirely for me! Actually PLANNING something!! 😂 Congratulations on the Z900RS! Beautiful bike! And very capable too! I followed a slightly older chap on one last year and really struggle dto keep up! Despite the fact that as well as being faster, he also looked way cooler than me while doing it!
Great video editing, seat looks super comfy..Excellent job..
Thanks very much Mick! 👍🏻
@@AndyManCam credit where it's due :-)
😊🙌🏻
Very creative opening. I thought that was 👍
Thanks Ian. I thought I'd best push the boat out as I haven't been able to ride for a while!
Loved the video totally entertaining Andy. Such a cool beginning and technique, music nailed it...and the plus is I have been thinking about a new seat covering for the bobber black...and my 750 bonnie 1976. Thanks.
Many thanks Colin. Very happy to bring these guys to your attention. They do great work!
Looks good, hopefully you can get out riding soon! 😎👍
Thanks Garth. I hope so too!
Loving that seat... might have to treat myself to one of those mugs too - i need a tea ;)
The seat I need to test further. The mug I can already wholeheartedly recommend! 😜😜
Another great video, those seats look brilliant 👍
Cheers Chombi! Looks even better in the flesh! Early Testing says comfy too!
@@AndyManCam I'm tall like yourself. I'd be interested to hear how the extra height of the seat has helped with leg room on the bike.
So far seems good, but obviously it needs a long ride to really know.
Fantastic production on that video Andy. Really professional. Would would have thought watching a bloke make a cuppa could be so cinematic!? Oh, the seat looks mega too!
Haha! Thanks John, I try my best! I thought that the world should see my first coffee the way that I see it! 😍
Hello Andy ... the new seat fits your honda really well 🥳 ... hope you can try it out soon .... and another great video thumbs up👍👍
Thanks Sandra! I sincerely hope so too! Weird that on my next ride, it's probably going to be my ear that gets uncomfortable before my rear! 🤣
@@AndyManCam you are really a funny guy 😅 ear/ rear ... Well your ear surgery ... get well soon so that you can test your really nice seat...by the way, your way of making coffee reminds me of our motorcycle tours in Scotland ... we made the coffee the same way ... Lecker.☕😃
😁😁 I really can't wait to test! We got rid of our big machine in favour of the french press. Simplicity for the win! And it tastes best too!
Great Video.
Many thanks Mr W!
Great video.
Thank you very much Dan!
Great video Andy, once again AMC Style, the seat looks fabulous 👍😉
Cheers Gaz! If you're lucky, I'll let you touch it...
@@AndyManCam now THAT sounds ominous he he
Only if your hands are dirty! 😜
Really looks the part mate 👍
Thanks Buddy!
Hope you're well mate 👍
I'm good thanks Eddie. Same to you mate. 👍🏻
I might just think about getting one😎👍
So far I'm pretty chuffed with mine!
can't wait for a proper test. I am very interested if it's more confortable then before, especially after some hours of riding. I am toying with the idea of doing this on my strom since my delicate side gets a bit numb after some hours of riding.
You and me both! I'll be on it as soon as possible!! I'm really hoping for good things!
Well done Andy. Really really good. I'd never pay that much for a seat upgrade. We can get all that done Down Under for about $250 AUS but that's conversion rates for you. About 160Euros. Great video though. Good luck with your recovery.
Thanks Kent. Different market, different economy, different brand. Obviously for you to get a seat reworked in Europe would be a ridiculous notion. But here, certain things are more expensive. It costs me 50€ to have my tyres changed. Before the cost of the tyres!
Awesome intro, music, post production... you've outdone yourself on this one 😄 Even though it's pretty much a 10-minute ad, I really enjoyed watching it. Pity you on the (lack of) water pressure though! 😜
Many thanks Padde! If you're going to show off a product, you might as well at least be creative about it! 😜 The pressure actually isn't too bad here, considering we're on the 5th floor! It was just too loud for the audio to have it on Voller Kanne!
Cracking video ..... 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fancy B-Roll and transitions. Bit of Peter McKinnon vibe going on. I too enjoy the occasional Lego comic.. Great video Andy 👌
Cheers mate! I admit, there was a bit of inspiration from the Canadian Coffee Hipster going on! I bet my camera was cheaper than his though!!
@@AndyManCam it’s not about the size.. of the camera but what you can do with it. Top notch! Hope you are healing well after the surgery too.
Haha! So very true! Healing nicely thanks mate. Hoping to get a lid on next week.
Superb video editing buddy.. I thought the original seat looked ok until i seen this. Nice one Mate 👍
Thanks mate! Sometimes it ruins a perfectly good thing, once you've seen how good it COULD be! 😉
Wow your editing has stepped up
Cheers Jordan! I made this one into a bit of a challenge for myself!
@@AndyManCam TLR didn’t go to bed last night, he’s been up all night editing a new video trying to match the quality 🤣😉
Haha! 'Challenge Accepted....' 🤣
top ace vid
Many thanks Sam!
nice video cuts ... 👍🏻
Thanks! The vcrazy thing is that I think more time went in to planning the cuts, than actually recording and editing them!! 🤣
Looks very nice that mate. How about a video with a round up of all the custom parts/accessories you’ve fitted to the bike?
Thanks David. Funny you should day that. I'm planning a couple of extra mods and upgrades over the next couple of weeks and there's going to be a roundup video of all of it as soon as that's finished. Some styling, some performance and some noise related! 😉
Lovely 😋
Thank you 😋
Hello there, Peter McKinnon 😀 Great work. Love your video editing style. This seat configurator doesn't seem to be available in UK.
Haha! You noticed the influences too! I bet he never used a meter length of M4 studding as a counterweight for his tripod though!! 😂😂
Must be something with your browser/computer Alex. I've heard of other in the UK using the configurator already. 👍🏻
Your getting very good at this video making now 😉. Seat looks well nice, liking the tank side protectors too 👍🏻.
Cheers! Thankfully the 8 years of practice is finally starting to show!! 🤣🤣🤣 Sadly the side protectors are falling off. Waiting for replacements from R&G currently. 😞
@@AndyManCam That’s not like R&G, Hopefully the new set will be fine 🤞🏻
I hope so. Just waiting for them to arrive. Sadly i think customs is delaying things. 🥺
@@AndyManCam bloody customs!!!
Still no sign, but hopefully they're on the way! I was rather hoping to refit them at the same time as the tank wrap, but will have to wait and see!
Nice video, as you have gotten us used to. 375€ for a seat for my RT hummm naahh doubt it would get even more comfy ;)
Wish you a fast recovery!
Many thanks Daniel. That's the dream though isn't it? When your stock seat is already as comfortable as you can imagine it! Winning!
Awesome video Andy! Thank you. As an automotive seating engineer I can tell you that the PU Leather (fake) is far superior in terms of durability (and basically every other category) than the real leather from cows. The original one was also PU however the cross stitch pattern will also make it last longer. Plus, for cars anyway, a chemical is added to make it smell like real leather so the untrained person can’t really tell the difference! 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks Marcus. That's good to know for sure. I had that exact opinion on the tip of my tongue, but no actual facts or experience to back it up with. So I kept my mouth shut! Awesome that the cross stitch will extend life AND it looks great too! I never knew that they even pipe leather smell into fake leather too! 😄
If I could afford to have one,I'd really struggle to avoid buying into a seat cover. As I'm presently struggling to afford the bloody fuel to go anywhere,I'll happily give this a miss Andy.
I can totally understand that mate. I think in different circumstances I would also struggle somewhat. Bloody cool luxury thing to have though. One day mate. 👍🏻
Nice add On! And I see you got time to play around with editing! Take care and hope to meet soon!
Thanks Marius! Yeah, I thought I'd try a few new tricks out and see what can really be done! Maybe it's just me being the newby, but it's not easy though! 😆
@@AndyManCam Definitely takes time! But we learn as we go! 🙌🏻
Very true! Still so much to learn and to try though!
The older we get, the more comfortable the seat needs to be 😁
that is why i love my Royal Star venture, might be a very heavy bike, but is very very comfortable
Ain't that the truth!!! (luckily and hence, the MT10 Comfort seat... :D )
@@mattmutane5502 yes sir 😁
@@BigBadLoneWolf yep 😁
Absolutely true! Maybe the motorway stretches will be slightly less tortuous for me now! They're certainly not getting any more enjoyable lately!! 😂
That intro made me think I accidentally played Ryan~F9 instead of AMC :D good stuff, man...
Ha! Top praise indeed! Watch out Ryan, here I come! Cheers Max!
Nice work .. guess I need to put my prices for custom seats up! 🤣
Maybe you do! Supply and demand and all that!
shitttt ! loved th videography mate 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you very much Benya. Was a real challenge to make this one, but an enjoyable one!
Hi Andy thought you was frying bacon when video started lol, No running water from a tap 😁
Or it could have been a car driving on gravel... I'm sure many viewers had to go take a leak shortly after seeing this vid!
Nice job bit on the pricey side though but it does look great : D
Thanks Malcolm. Yeah it's at the upper end of the price spectrum. But if I know SW-Motech, it'll be the price that comes with quality.
Fab vid well done, I say 👍
Thanks 👍 The seat isn't too bad either!! 😜
@@AndyManCam Hahaha it should be at that price!! 🤣 ( I know it was a freebie)
Haha! Tis true, but I'll still try to bear the cost in mind when testing it! 👍🏻
@@AndyManCam it does look great though and sets your bike off a treat 😀
Thanks Simon. I think so too. After the endcan, bar end mirrors, tank wrap and new tail tidy and indicators go on, it should look PROPER tasty! 👌🏻
Ha! Great vid - creative and edited fabbly (new word). Methinks someone has had time off the bike - put to great use 👍. Now then, can't knock the quality of the finished article but that's pretty salty. The only way I'll get this past the missus is with the promise of a far nicer pillion perch. Hold my beer...
Cheers Mike! Fabbly is now in the lexicon. 👍🏻 Good luck with the financial minister!
Hi Andy very professional vid, love the seat but too expensive for me.
Thanks Tony. It is pricey, but it looks SO good! 🥰
Wow, you really stepped the game up with this one Andy ! Great vid, would love to get my seat done but alas the funds are lacking somewhat.
Your’s came up beautiful though, hope it’s as comfy 🙂👍🏼
Thanks very much! I'm glad the hard work shows! 😊 Sure, it's not a cheap upgrade to make. But hopefully the results will make the price seem worthwhile. For the looks alone, we're already half way there!
@@AndyManCam Yeah,price is always relative. And I guess you don't have to check ALL the boxes 😉 But yeah,it really transform a bikes looks, i think anyway. Hope you will be able to give it a proper test soon 👌
It’s looking good for next week or the week after i think! 😬
@@AndyManCam I'm hoping for some seattime this weekend,but winds are still pretty cold here. Here's to a long season this year 🍻
Amen to that! Looks like I’m going back to work in October, so i want to ride every last minute right into September!
That seat really suits the bike, much better compared to the stock one! A bit on the pricy end though :)
Agreed on both counts. It's certainly not cheap. But hopefully if the looks are an indicator of the function, it'll prove to be worthy of it's price tag. I just need to go out there and get lost on it!
Be sure to have the camera rolling and share it, looking forward how you will like it on the long run! Just by the looks, it seems like a lovely piece of kit!
I most certainly will mate! It's my bread and butter! 🤣😂
I'd get mine done if it was free 😁 yours look great. Maybe I actually will in the future as I've been thinking about getting my seat on my new to me ZX9r done as it is slippery, and the leather although in pretty good condition with no tear's, it is looking a little aged and the seat is pretty hard so bit of extra or new padding would be nice.
Cheers HR! I suppose the seat is possible the most important thing after the tyres! (Well, maybe the engine too). your arse spends all the time riding glued to it, so it might as well be s good as it can be. I've suffered enough with a sore bottom, hopefully my suffering is finally over!! I know what you mean about the old covering. As soon as the flexibility is gone, it might as well be stone underneath it!
Well you've shot yourself in the foot with those high standards haven't you?! You'll be doing story boards and everything next! Very nice production indeed! Nice seat too! The price is horrendous though!
I did kind of think of that as i was cutting it together! We’ll have to see if i can repeat it again! Next pandemic maybe?! 🤣
Seat looks awesome Andy and should feel comfy on the bum cheeks! Here’s to when you can stick a helmet on your bonce👍
Here, Here Mike! Shouldn't be too long now. Looks like it might be just in time for some nice weather!
That's some serious editing going on there Andy, a pleasure to watch. When I saw your choice of cover I didn't expect it to really match up with the bike, but what a compliment it gives to the whole look, very classy indeed, and I can imagine the extra inches of seat height will be a god send, that's one of the reason's (also because it was getting a little old) why I part exchanged my 2008 model. I think you made the perfect choice and can't wait to see some footage out on the road. When will you be able to ride again?
Thanks Phil! It was a little bit of a leap. but I'm leaning more towards the café side of styling! The performance is Neo enough to go retro with the looks! Hoping that I can get out again in a week or two. Most healing is done, it's just comfort now.
@@AndyManCam Nothing wrong with the cafe side, your bike is well suited and cant wait to see the future modifications. A week or two, thats great timing with the nice weather heading our way 👍
Absolutely mate! I can’t wait for a proper blast!
Looking tidy pal, bike obviously
Looks good! Wondering how does it work with customs, crossing the border twice. Also the website states that the shipping costs are covered by SW Motech only for orders from Austria, Germany and France.
All good questions. I guess that's the pitfall of this little feature, with me being in Europe already. Afraid I have no answers in this strange new separated world!
Hope that lug hole is better soon mate.
Thanks Chris. Healing nicely cheers. Shouldn't be long now. Few mods to do, and then it's ON!
Excellent production. 👍
Think I'll sit on the fence about SW Motech promotions. Do they supply a seat for sitting on the fence? 🤔
They do. But it's custom made for the fence. Deliciously styled and terribly comfy, but at the luxury end of the price scale 😜 . I'm sure that the swathe of real life testing I'm hoping to get done will give some weight and credibility to these SW promotions. 👍🏻

Very kind of you old bean. 😊
