Though I don't run an AMC twin I've so enjoyed this part - I'll head back to part one now to enjoy the complete build. Superbly explained and filmed. And I have subscribed 👍👍

That was helpful not 😂😂

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

Hi do you sell these ply kits for vivaro swb twin door please

I think it is great that you explained the booboo, although very understandable (stuff happens). I think this is definitely a case for making a 2d hardboard template of the pannier envelope, to which the hardware can be fitted temporarily to test the dynamics of fitting/unshipping etc. I do not quite understand however why the panniers could not have been fitted with the topbox removed (with your original hole positions) for then fitting the top box after would have ensured a security feature (ie they could then not be opportunistically stolen from the motorcycle. I don't think you said what capacity these panniers were. Kind regards.

Hi! Is it that top box aluminium? lightweight?or is kind of heavy, other metal? I dindt find that info in the webpage. :S

Great video - did you have a frame underneath the original flooring or did you just screw those 3 pillars directly into the metal? Thank you 🙏🏼

Working on the exact same G12 Pistons and facing the same issue where rings are not available at +040" can you advise what rings did you used for this modification?

Got my snowdon to day fitted to 1970 yamaha yas1 i used craven back in the early 70s on same model and and top box side cases on 72 bsa a65l great quality great video

Great stuff. I’ve got a 1958 Matchless G9 with what I believe to be an original Craven D-rack (it’s had a few coats of black paint over the years from previous owners!) so I’m just about to buy & fit a small Snowden top box.

Nice

Such a good job, thanks for sharing

The rubber “bobbins” are rocking because you’ve left off the inside bobbin fastener which stabilizes the bobbin and keeps it in place when putting the panniers on and off.

Had the AJS model 20 ,very similar ,done many miles on it really reliable bike.Only prob which I could never fix was oil leak from where dynamo joins the crank case.

I can't thank you enough for making these. My dad had one of their L racks on his 900GTS Ducati - and I at one time had a set of Comets with that same topbox - but all in white - sold them to a fellow in CA with a Vincent (regrets). Anyway - I've got a wideline Triton in the works that'll likely get Cravens and I was thinking just those same cases (thrilled to see them in video - just what I hoped they'd be) and I think they recommend the same rack so I'll be studying/watching these more later. I also have a 2014 Guzzi V7 Racer which I want to set up more like dad's GTS - bench seat, low slung silencers, figure out how to mount a L rack on there (the shocks have reservoirs which are in the way - but they're really good shocks) - there's a frame mount under the pillion end that I think I can tap into and maybe some bent brackets to the shocks. Maybe a W rack would be better. There's a bit of work to do before I can really figure the Cravens for that but its the end goal. Anyway - sorry to talk your ear off. Thanks for these. Lovely machine, never had the pleasure of owning or riding a Matchless, just Nortons, Triumphs, and Enfields for the Brit bikes (not complaining - just always thought a G80 would be sweet).

Just watched this again what fantastic roads and countryside the sound of this bike is awesome don't understand why these bikes weren't as popular as the other makes. to me they are just as good great video 👍

NICE riding Sir...but do take it a little easy...was on the edge of my seat !!

fantastic to watch a engineer at work 👍

I just went 54 years, back in time. Thank you so much

Nice repair .

Where do I buy this kit shelving

Hi... Thanks for posting... Out of interest did you do compression test on the engine before taking apart?

Beautiful absolutely beautiful ride, thank you, haven't been on as nice a ride since 50 years ago on my 1964 Triumph 500 through the forests of Ben Lomond to the beach in Santa Cruz Ca. Thank you again. Nice bike too by the way, its got good power!

She looks stunning Malcolm,bit late to this video but well done on the rosette, glad all the hard work payed off mate 👍

I personally would of mounted the beacon on a single roof bar or stand off to comply with regulation 65 chapter 8 360 vision notes as the vans shape slopes forward leaving a higher rear end

✋ քʀօʍօֆʍ

that was excellent ,great workmanship👏

Nice vid malc, perfect conditions as well which is always nice , great job sir 👍

Hi what adhesive are you using to seal van windows

Joyous 👍

That is a work of art, looks completely original except maybe the pipes ?

wow ! All that great care you took on the rebuild has paid off...the engine sounds perfect. How did you learn your engineering skills ? Love that road too. Don't recall seeing another vehicle

did you rebuild the bottom end as well ?

congratulations, motor sounds great to me

at this point I'm wondering if you can machine the piston as well as the grooves. Does it even matter if the piston is a fraction out seeing as the rings are doing the work (I'm a carpenter BTW not an engineer)

The suspense is killing me !

fascinating, I'd be very happy if I had an engine rebuilt by you. Looking forward to watching you enlarge the grooves....

Pa que sirve esa weá?

Very interesting the tips on the oil ways on the rockers there are a few AMCs that are complete rebuilds but sound like threshing machines that’ll be why 👍. I use copper head gaskets as I’ve found composite don’t last very long before failure. Thank you

Great video lovely bike 👍

On my BMW R100/7 I have cast alloy Krauser pannier frames and a rack. I drilled though the alloy rack and used robber 'bobbins' when attaching the Craven topbox. This means the top box isn't rigidly mounted like yours but has a small amount of 'give'. The miniscule amount of rubber on your brackets merely protects the paintwork and has no cushioning effect. I am interested in how the lid of your topbox stays almost upright and doesn't go the whole hog and goes right over like mine. I didn't see a stay or cable of any kind.

I really enjoyed your videos especially the tips re the oilways .Please put more on.

Sorry but the volume is way way too low to properly hear you.

over the top video, the bloke has got too much time on his hands no need for all this

Brilliant. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Wow what a treat this ride was on a Superb Motorcycle. 👌

Not much on the fitting of a 3 bar roof rack!!!

Heart in mouth time 😳

Awesome! well done my friend.
