@@DesmoDreams And thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad the video helped you choose, and fit the rack. My rack still looks brand new, even after being used many times in all sorts of weather. Hopefully yours serves you just as well. Stay safe and have fun. 👍

@@Danny-ux1il I bought mine from Moto GB. They used to be the official importers for Royal Enfield in the UK, but now Enfield imports them themselves. Have you tried eBay? There are a few on sale there from India. There's a guy on Facebook in India called Raju Lax. He is a trusted supplier of Royal Enfield parts to customers on the Royal Enfield owners page. I don't know if he supplies parts to Thailand, but he'd be worth asking. I hope you manage to find what you're looking for, and let me know how you get on. 👍

@@edfelton3262 Thank you very much for your kind comment. 👍 I know what you mean about some videos dragging on. "Just a quick video about..." Then 7 minutes into a 10 minute video they actually do something. 🤣 Another thing that annoys me is when they make out the particular job is very simple, when in fact it's fiddly as hell. All that happens then is that someone will try and do it after watching the video then feel inept because they could do it as well as the guy in the video. I started to notice the sneaky editing that cuts out the fiddly bits. I did a video where I fitted the luggage rack and you'd think doing 4 bolts would be easy, but it was a pain in the backside to line everything up, and I even had to tap out the threads to get rid of the old thread lock.

I'll check that out later today, or more likely tomorrow, as we're heading up to St Andrews for a day out.

I've been out with the original hand rail and as far as I can see it's got the same rise and width as the luggage rack hand rail. I slid the original one over the seat and it sat nicely over the luggage rack. It looks like Royal Enfield used the same jig and then welded on the extra luggage part. Hope this helps. 👍

Thank you very much for your kind comment. 👍 Sorry I haven't posted anything for quite some time, but my health hasn't been great. The fatigue that I get from a combination of my sarcoidosis and the multitude of pills I take has had the better of me since last August. I haven't ridden my bike since then. The doctor has recently changed some of my medications and has referred me to the sleep clinic, so hopefully something positive comes from that, and I'll get back out and about again. 👍😃

Here's hoping things get better. I know only too well what medication can do if your body reacts badly to it.@@the.just.able.biker67

And thank you for your kind comment. I hope you found my valve check videos useful.

I'd imagine so. They fit the Classic and Meteor, so there's no reason why they shouldn't fit the Hunter. Call your local RE dealer, or contact Hitchcock's for confirmation.

Yeah, it was definitely one of the easier jobs I've done on the bike. 👍 I also posted a video about fitting the rear luggage rack. It was a bit more fiddly, but I got there in the end. I've used the luggage rack loads of times, but thankfully I haven't had to use the crash bars!! 🤣

It would certainly be worth a try. I've seen other UA-camrs using nail polish remover as a degreaser before, but not on old thread lock. I would be more inclined to use cotton buds - q-tips in America - for rubbing it into the threads. It might be a pain in the ass to get a jammed wad of cotton wool out of the hole if it gets stuck. If that doesn't work then you could try rubbing alcohol, surgical spirits or IPA. They're all much the same thing I think, but they're pretty much 100% alcohol. In regards to the nail polish remover affecting the new thread lock - I think it would evaporate off fairly quickly, so it shouldn't be a problem. Please let me know how you get on with it. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67will-do. Just need to decide whether to go for the replacing-the- pillion or behind-the-pillion rack. Like you, swinging the leg is probably the clinching factor

Yeah, there's always a lot of foreign plate bikes up that way. I get really happy when I see folk on bikes that've travelled all the way up to Scotland and the weather is actually nice for them. I was back up on Skye last weekend at a bike rally. The Twisted Pistons have a brilliant rally just over the Skye bridge in Kyleakin. The weather was brilliant all weekend and everybody had a great time. There were quite a few hungover bikers stumbling about the place on Saturday morning.🤣🤣

How did you enjoy your trip? Hopefully you had a good time. 👍 I've still got another couple of videos to upload, but I just haven't had the time.

@@the.just.able.biker67 after the hot spell in Fort William we had very mixed weather in Skye. Fabulous scenery. Lovely boat trip from Elgol. Not a fan of the single track roads though 😂

@@jonathanmellish4439 Elgol is one of my favorite places on Skye. If anyone is ever asking where to go on Skye this is the first place that I tell them. Top tip: The first fortnight in June is usually really good weather up here.

@@the.just.able.biker67 I am enjoying the ones I’ve seen so far. Definitely echo your comments about the fuel. Broadford ran out when we were there. Also every b&b had no vacancies. Glad we booked in February.

I've only used it to put my tent on. Everything else goes in the panniers and a big roll bag on the pillion seat. I can't remember if I mentioned in the video that I'd considered getting the rack that replaced the pillion seat, but decided to go with the rear rack instead because it gives me more room for luggage on the bike.

I've heard of people doing it that way, but does that not mean you have to keep going back and forward between the engine and the wheel to see when it's at tdc?

@@the.just.able.biker67 it does if you are alone, however I generally do the service with my son, so it's easier 👍🏻

@@kevindarkstar Doing stuff with your kids is way more fun than doing it on your own. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 and he's more proficient than me, which helps 👍🏻

Thanks for the info mate. 👍 And I'm glad you liked the video. 😁 One of these days I'll figure out how to add music and edit things a bit better. I'm still not 100% happy with the sound though. It's still got too much wind noise for my liking.

You should visit Scotland,there are millions of us.

Cheeky bugger!!! As the self proclaimed King of Scotland, I hear by decree that Stella Johnson has been banned from entering Scotland and should therefore be brought henceforth with great haste to Castle Douglas to be thrown down at my feet to beg for mercy - after being haranged and abused by the peasants of every town and village enroute - before being hung drawn and quartered. 🤣🤣🖕🖕

I was wondering why you didn't stop to clean it off!!! The fact you were doing 125mph was no surprise, we've all been a mile or two over the limit sometimes. My 1000cc Yamaha Thunderace was terrible for it. Lol

The midges weren't that bad. I only got caught with them twice while I was outside at dusk. They're absolute torture when they do find you!!! 😡🤣 Thanks for watching, I'll have the next instalment out in a day or two. 👍

Aye, Royal Enfields do tend to attract a lot of attention. But a bus load of Indian tourists!!! That must've been a great laugh. 👍🤣

It's all metric now. I haven't come across any fasteners that aren't so far.

@@the.just.able.biker67 thanks because i'm thinking of getting one

@@bubot17 It really is a fantastic bike once you get used to a more sedate riding style. I'm just back from a 650 mile week long trip round some of Scotland and I loved every minute of it. I'm currently posting a series of videos of my day out on the Isle of Skye. Part 1 is up, and part 2 will be posted tomorrow.

@@the.just.able.biker67 i'm no stranger to old bikes i still have two 60's bmw, i had an r25 bmw 250 single and i miss the relaxed ride it gave me, the Enfield now with efi and better brakes would be a hoot😊

@bubot17 One of the best bikes I ever owned was a BMW R1150r. The only reason I sold it was because of my ill health. It was a consumate mile muncher, even though it was a naked bike. It was also - like the Enfield- an easy bike to service. I really miss the shaft drive though. That's why I considered a Moto Guzzi V7 for a while, but my budget would've meant I could only afford an ageing example, so I decided to go with a new Classic instead. Chain maintenance is so much easier with a centre stand. Have you managed to test ride one yet?

Thanks for your kind comment. Father Brown had a great time up north. You're right about the remoteness of the isles, I remember going to visit relatives in Stornoway back in the 70's and it seemed to take forever to get there, so God only knows what it was like before then!!

Many thanks for your kind comment. The 350 would be the perfect bike for riding round the Kent lanes. But not only that it can tour long distances as well. I'm just back from a 650 mile trip up the West Coast of Scotland, then over to the east coast and back home again. Some of the single track roads in the Highlands leave a lot to be desired, but the wee Classic takes them in its stride. 👍

I'll try a wee wipe of grease next time. Cheers for the tip. 👍

Many thanks again Pip. The sheepskin makes my buttocks feel like they are being cradled by the wings of an angel now. Lol I'm home now, so I'll have to get started on editing the videos. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 wonderful! Cant wait to see the vid!

I'll get them sorted out when I get home next week. I'm heading over to Inverness, then along the Moray Coast like we did in April. But this time it won't be snowing!! 🤣🤣

Aye, the roads were brilliant and it was one of those rare days on Skye when it wasn't raining or misty. 👍

I got the urge to get away again, and I'm just back from a week long trip up north. I went to visit pals up at the Isle of Skye, then headed east to the Johnshaven fish festival. I spent a lot of time on the roads that we rode in April. But with less rain and more warmth!! 👍🤣

I'm no expert either! 👍🤣 I bought the Akaso hero 6 (I think that's what it's called) and the problem is you can only use the Akaso mic with it. It won't take any other mics. The only solution I've seen is to cut the wires and solder on a better microphone, and that's beyond my skill set just now. I had terrible audio problems in my earlier videos, which is a shame because I went on some lovely rides and they were spoiled by poor audio. I've now got a helmet that seems to work well with the Akaso mic.

Hopefully the doctors can sort you out before too long and you'll be back on the bike again. 👍

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm still not doing great, but I'm not going to waste another day of summer and I'm just gonna push through it and head off up north tomorrow. I've got friends who live near the Isle of Skye, so I'm heading up to visit them. 👍 If it stops raining (I wish) I'll make a video of the journey up.

The first time I removed the tank I managed to scratch the frame near the headstock, so from then on I used electrical tape and a cloth on top of that. You also need to be careful that none of the cables and breather pipes get nipped when putting the tank back on. I've heard of folk doing that. I'm going to get a set of right angled screwdrivers from Halfords, so the next time I do it I won't have to put a regular screwdriver in at an angle. I actually googled right angled screwdrivers for a laugh thinking there would be no such thing, but there is!! 👍🤣🤣

@@the.just.able.biker67 Right angled screwdriver to adjust the clearance? Yes that would have been handy. Now I'm obsessed that the engine is more tappity sounding, although runs perfectly well.

@@the.just.able.biker67 I put a tea towel between the tank and frame, and still managed a scratch either side. A touch of Humbrol black enamel needed, and tape over the top for future reference. Right angle screwdrivers are great for tight clearances, like a mini ratchet set. Clean rag either side of the valve lifters ensures the driver head doesn't dance its way into the engine if it lets go. I noticed you disconnected a plug on the right side rear of the rocker cover. Others show the cover being removed and replaced with this plug in place, but it's a tight squeeze. If your gasket sealant was black and blobby, it's almost certainly an assembly "aid", and probably hasn't been off since. Hard to see how anyone could re-fit the rocker cover properly with the gasket partially glued. Either way, when the original gasket gives up the ghost we'd still have to scrape the excess off, so better to clean it first time around. Thanks for the excellent 3 part instruction!

@@tarragonadreamin I wonder if they do them up tight to reduce the tappety noise? New owners, or potential owners might be put off by the noise.

@@the.just.able.biker67 Several people have said this on forums. Set tight at the factory to allow the valves to bed in for the first five hundred km, and this means that they are quieter too. I've readjusted the clearances and I think it's fine now.

That was back in the middle of June, I still haven't been back on the bike since then. Father Brown has been on sabbatical under a cover in my front garden since then!! 😞 I'm gonna make a short video either today or tomorrow - weather depending - of me uncovering him and trying to start him up. As usual, I'm not gonna edit it, and I'm going to post the results regardless of whether he starts or not. It should spark some comments on the validity of battery tenders no matter what happens. As always, thanks for the comment and your continued viewership. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 that will be interesting 😁 on another note, how has your chain worn/not worn😁

@@TAYM The chain still has plenty adjustment left in it, but it's a bugger to keep clean. It doesn't seem to matter what I clean and coat it with, it still gets rusty. No stuff links so far though, so it's really just a cosmetic problem.

@@the.just.able.biker67 interesting 🤔 thanks 😁

How are you after your tumble? Our old bones don't take kindly to being thrown about like that these days. 🤣👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 All good thanks mate. The big man was watching over me 😉👍

I had no idea about Ivor Cutler's egg meat, so I went to find out..... ......and I still have no idea!! 🤣🤣🤣

And you're right, July never lived up to June's promise, but I can still remember that ride in June though. 👍

Indeed they do. I fitted a set of their touring pegs, and they've really helped out with the pain I used to get in the soles of my feet. The only thing is you have to sit your feet facing out a bit more to avoid hitting the gear and brake pedals. How are you getting on with the footrests?

It was an amazing day. 😃 This is the third video in this we series. There's one more to come. 👍 We were lucky with the weather for the whole of our 2 week holiday. We travelled down to Yorkshire on the bikes for the first week, then off up the east coast for a couple of days in the second week.

I’ve been following the series and am enjoying riding along. At first I thought you were making up the lobster story. But truth is stranger than fiction. Keep on riding!

@@JW-ym5yb I was flabbergasted when I read about it!! And thank you for following the series. 👍 I'll get the next one posted up soon. I don't know if you've read the channel description, but I suffer from chronic pain and fatigue, so that's why the videos are posted sporadically. I haven't even so much as looked at my bike since we got home a few weeks ago because I've been so worn out, but I'll be back in the saddle again soon and filming more great routes. 👍

I used to hit false neutrals sometimes, so I adjusted the gear lever up a notch and it's a lot better now. I only seem to hit a neutral between first and second if my foot's being a bit lazy. One other thing I've found - and so have others - is if the chain tension is a bit slack it can cause issues with gear changes, and sometimes the bike drops out of 5th into 4th. I hope this helps. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 That's brilliant, thank you.

@@borderlands6606 Not a problem. If you think of anything else, just ask. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 Will do. Your videos inspired me to get the same bike.

@@borderlands6606 Wow!!! Really? Jeez. I didn't think my videos were anything more than shoddily made light entertainment. Lol I take it because your user name is borderlands that you stay in the Scottish borders? Or at you from the north of England?

It's just a couple of miles up the coast from it. It's a lovely wee part of Scotland. 👍

It works a treat too. We were on a weeklong 600 mile tour and my backside never got sore once. We even did 200 miles on b-roads in one day, so that was about 6 hours in total we were trundling about on the country lanes heading home.

@@the.just.able.biker67 I‘m thinking of giving my black Honda VB500F a gen-z Long-haired sheepskin hairdo :)

@@banzobeans It definitely makes a difference. I was talking to a guy recently who bought a full sheepskin from Ikea for about £30 and draped it over the seat of his Interceptor and tied it underneath with some string to keep it in place. Both him and his pillion said it made riding long distances a lot better

@@the.just.able.biker67 got the ikea sheepskin ready for a test ride :)

@@banzobeans Keep me informed. 👍

Cheers mate. The back roads up there are brilliant. 👍

@@the.just.able.biker67 yes they certainly look great 👍

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah. I couldn't be arsed taking the camera off.

@@the.just.able.biker67 I'll never understand why I'm friends with you 😂😂😂

@@LadyLegz Awwwww, that's the kindest thing you've ever said to me. 🤗🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd get banned for sure!!

It's a pity we didn't get to see any of this while we were away. We rode south through Inverbervie on our way to Arbroath.

@@the.just.able.biker67 I thought Dougie beautiful sites up there to see thank you 👍👍🙏

Thank you. 👍 I've got another video from yesterday uploading to UA-cam just now. We're off to see the Scottish Crown Jewels!!

@@the.just.able.biker67 that'll be interesting. I didn't see those when I lived there 😮
