@@PurpleOnThree ha ha, yeah, it was only meant to be a couple of minutes long, god knows what happened there lol..out of practice with editing I guess but getting back into it!..ta for taking a look!

@@PurpleOnThree ps, have given a sub to you and will have a look through after work 😁👍

@@MarkOneMoto Thank you so much! I'm having a contest... Make sure you enter lol... PS... I was already subbed to you. What was your name before you changed it back to this one?

@@PurpleOnThree well, originally mark one Moto, then two or three changes before settling on Small Bike ADV, then came full circle and went back to my original Mark One Moto name..I’m sticking with this now..for definite this time! 😆

@@bikerantics5001 lol, apologies mate, don’t know what happened there, it should’ve only been a couple of minutes long ha ha 😆..jeez, out of touch with this editing malarkey clearly. Aye, traded the GS in, it just wasn’t for me to be honest. Not a bad bike tbf, but not for me..loving being back on a 500x again, I had one about five years ago and regretted trading it. I’m amazed you’ve hung around on here for so long whilst nowt was happening..appreciate it my good man!..ps, you’ll have probably noticed after umpteen name changes that I’ve come full circle and gone back to my original name lol..kind of like when my missus goes clothes shopping I guess 😆👍

@@MarkOneMoto Welcome back, I’ve done nothing except patiently wait for your return 🙇 I liked my V-Strom 250 but unfortunately it was just a little under powered for commuting on dual carriageways🤷‍♂️ did your GS feel the same? The 500x is a good looking bike and comfortable I bet👌. Hope you’re all keeping well🫡

Why thank you lol..great little commuter bike, so easy to rag about, and gets me back on two wheels…I’m going to start saving for a second bike though ha ha…I still really fancy another CB500X but time will tell..best get some overtime in 😂

@@MarkOneMoto it really is a handsome looking bike, the walk round video will be interesting . . . won’t it 🙃

@@bikerantics5001 was that a hint? 😂👍

@@MarkOneMoto subtle ain’t I 👌

Hey mate, thank you! - I just used common everyday superglue and it worked ok for me. I would suggest using it sparingly though as superglue can easily fog up the glass lens with a kind of white residue. good luck mate

Hi Paul, cheers for the kind words and pleased if it’s of any help to you!..as you say, I’ve just checked eBay but they’re no longer available. I’ve checked the original listing and here’s the details if you can hopefully find an alternative… Diameter: 7/8’’ - 22mm, Width: 69cm, Center Width: 15cm, Rise: 5cm…hopefully you might find something and yes, I just wanted a more upright comfortable riding position. Thanks for watching, Mark

Thanks for the quick reply Mark, I will do a bit of looking around and hopefully find something similar. I see you did this conversion a while ago now, how have you found the new handlebar position? Cheers

@@paulcowd6310 I much preferred it to the clip ons personally, but I sold the bike a few months later so I can’t offer any feedback on it long term. I followed my conversion from what Euan at Shoogly Shed motors on UA-cam did, so you could maybe get in touch with Euan to ask his thoughts if that helps 😀 👍

Thanks again, I will check out his UA-cam site.

I bought mine from Poland on Ebay, here is the link..they arrived pretty quickly to me in the UK..thanks for watching 👍

Hi mate, thanks for taking a look and yeah, Seahouses is a coast town on the Northumberland coast..such a beautiful part of the country!..thanks again, Mark 👍

@@MarkOneMoto very nice! At first I thought see houses where houses lol. Nice to meet you Mark... My name is Jody and I live in Pennsylvania USA

Ah, no bother mate, hope it helped!..I wouldn't really say a how to, more of a here's what I did ha ha..they're just generic 22mm bar risers, if you just look on ebay for 22mm bar risers, theres loads, such as these..www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22mm-7-8-Handlebar-Handle-Bar-Riser-Mount-Clamps-For-Motorcycle-Dirt-Bike-/165237890361?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 -good luck mate, ride safe!

@@MarkOneMoto Thanks for the info and reply. I suspected they were universal but I'm new to all this!

@@ShortCycle. no bother at all mate!..good luck and well done on the das!..welcome yo the big bike world, nods!

@@MarkOneMoto Another question that i'll try to explain! - The new bolts that go through the risers and yolk assembly won't have the holes for the circlip/retention wire that the factory bolts did (I assume?)... did you go to the trouble of engineering a solution to stop them working loose?

@@ShortCycle. hi again, no mate..I just used nylock nuts and they were fine for me. I'm fairly sure most others would also use them. I'd recommend to check out Euan on Shoogly Shed Motors as he did a great GS project. Also, there's a GS500 uk owners group on Facebook which has loads of useful info too, a real wealth of stuff on there which will help you. Ride safe, Mark

Hi, really pleased to hear that and you're welcome ha ha..thanks for watching!..rsmf, Mark

powodzenia przyjacielu!..thanks for watching!

Hi Andrew, sorry, I've had a look for the link but can't find it I'm afraid. They were just generic 22mm risers though...there's loads on ebay if you have a search. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍

Hello there, thanks very much for the comment and the kind words!..pleased you enjoyed it. Do you have a gs500 too?...I've still got work to do on this one, I'll be getting back into it once Autumn hits ha ha..take care, Mark

Hey man, great video. Could you please share a link where you found the top yoke plate ? I cannot find the right one for the life of me😂

Hello mate, ta very much ha ha!..much better than they were at the least...and aye, don't see why you couldn't do that 👍.. cheers for watching, Mark

Hi Cliff, thanks for the comment and no to both...the original cables and hoses were fine and I didn't even need to re-route any of them, so all good mate!.. thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, best wishes, Mark

@@MarkOneMoto thanks for the quick reply. Hoping to get mine done soon. Just got a 98 gs with clip ons. Its in good nick but hasn't been used for ages.

@@cliffmelhuish good stuff mate, I'm sure you'll get it running as good as new..if it helps, these are the bars I used, Euan from Shoogly Shed Motors used them on his gs too...they took 4 weeks to arrive, but worth the wait..they seem good quality solid bars..www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262783691302 - good luck mate 👍

Thanks mate!.. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment 👍

@@MarkOneMoto I always enjoy people sharing tricks and useful experiences. Your approach for opening is great, and though I may not share your taste for black on white, it's definitely more useful than a video of a slip on exhaust sound...😉

@@yveslegrand9826 ha ha, brilliant thank you..yeah, bikes are all individual I guess, each to their own of course, and I'm pleased you found it helpful maybe, that's what it's all about mate 👍.. Take care, ride safe, Mark

@@MarkOneMoto I am in the process of adding LED under the 1/2/3/4/5 numbers of the RPM gauge to make a "integrated" GPI. So I did cut open the RPM gauge...and now I am wondering : What glue should I use ???? It's a Suzuki, so I guess its the same plastic than your and it's definetly NOT ABS, Superglue may do wonders except if it is some spécial matérial... HHEELLPPPPPP ! Pleaase...

@@yveslegrand9826 hi there, I just used standard superglue and it worked fine on mine. I'd advise to be very careful though of course as it's very watery and when it dries, it can leave a white powdery substance on the clock glass. So my recommendation would be to use it sparingly, and be careful not to let it run of course. But in terms of gluing the clock back together, it worked fine for me.

Cheers Euan, aye its mad isn't it... I spoke to 3 manufacturers and Wemoto a couple I think and none made them with a 14mm head...but yet the risers come with 14mm bolts, so they're getting them from somewhere!...maybe they're only made in China 🤷‍♂️... Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to watch mate 👍

Ha ha!.. Cheers lad 😁... Aye, seemed to make sense to put the controller there...I had to have a good idea eventually, it's just the law of averages ain't it!.. Cheers for taking a gander fella, you back from the lakes yet?

Wow, thanks for the compliment Rich mate 😁.. I'm just learning and I'm not sure about the great content lol, but I suppose we all have to go through that learning curve.. As long as I keep learning and getting better with editing etc, I'll be happy!..I'm pretty chuffed with the look, just hope it solves the issue of sliding down the seat and crushing my nuts on the tank.. If not, I think I'll be going down the flat seat scrambler look eventually!.. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment mate, great stuff 👍

@@MarkOneMoto i like seeing how other people overcome things, its amazing how many different ways people go about things. If all else fails with the sliding forward, try a bungee chord from the grab rail to your belt 👍👍

@@BareBonesMotorcycles ha ha!.. Sounds like a plan.. I have bungee cords already! 😂

Ah, bless you Pete!.. I'm not sure about being an awesome edit but I'm learning each time. I guess everyone has to go through that learning curve with their early videos before they start producing better stuff ha ha!.. Except for Euan though, he was brilliant right off the bat!.. I think he works in the industry though, so, insider knowledge the bugger ha ha!..I think it also takes time to get used to talking to a camera too... I'll get there eventually 😁... Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, mucho gracias 👍

@@MarkOneMoto aye, his videos are like movies

Thanks guys - you're making me blush! 😂 🙌

@@ShooglyShedMotors ah mate, well deserved praise though, you're videos are really top notch...maybe you could make a video about how to make videos one day hint hint, ha ha!.. 👍

@@MarkOneMoto Haha! Thanks mate

Thanks mate, yeah I'm happy with the results. My new bars have finally arrived from China so hopefully I'll be doing an update soon. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment!, much appreciated, Mark

Cheers Lee, yeah, the first year has gone well..I've taken home more produce than ever before!...I've started off another channel for my allotment stuff.. Its called 'Allotment Growing' in case you'd like to take a look. Good luck on the waiting list, hope you get sorted soon. Atb, Mark

Hello mate, thanks for that!..yeah, they're a massive improvement on the ones that were on at least ha ha!.. A bit of an unorthodox method I guess but it seemed to work out OK hopefully!.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, much appreciated, atb Mark

Ha ha!.. Had to be done, and she got them back, non the wiser lol.. Ta for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated!.. Atb, Mark

Why thank you kind sir!.. Just wish the new bars would hurry up and arrive, they're coming from China so God knows when they'll arrive!.. Ta for watching fella, hope you're out enjoying the double H 😁

@@MarkOneMoto not gonna get much riding done during lockdown, just shopping and commuting on it, but got some good (but soggy) rides in before it started 🙂

@@HippoDrones is there a lock down?.. You wouldn't think so here mate, no wonder our rates are crap...are you still at work?.. I've never missed a day through it, but I'm thankful for that of course. Take care dude.

@@MarkOneMoto it doesn't look like many realise, roads as busy as ever. Am part furloughed and part working, luckier than a lot of folk

Ah, thanks mate, certainly better than the ones that were on there ha ha!.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated, Mark

Thanks very much, better than the old ones at least with that loose screw rattling around ha ha!... Cheers for watching and commenting mate, much appreciated 👍

Why thank you ha ha!...bit of a hack job but seeing as a previous owner had already done it, we'll, nothing to lose then I guess lol...and it's all hidden by the pod anyway, so job's a good'un I reckon. Ta for watching lad 👍

@@MarkOneMoto we all love a successful hack job 😂👍

Ha ha, I like that, can I keep that quote?!.. Lol...well, seeing as one had already been sawed open, nothing to lose I guess, they both might aswell be like that. To be fair, this method seem to work quite well.. I hope 😬... Cheers for taking the time to watch and leave a comment Euan lad, much appreciated!.. Cheers man, Mark

Thank you very much!.. Hard work, but enjoyable ha ha!.. Atb mate, Mark

Ha ha, yeah, thank you, I'm here all week lol...its usually peaceful but I avoid weekends if I can as you can't get owt done for people wanting a natter lol.. Cheers Dan mate, take care, Mark

Ha ha, some videos hopefully 😆

Thanks very much, it's a cosy setup but just enough space to get around the bike to work on it. The drill press is an old Stanley jobbie, took a bit of finding that did ha ha!.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated, Mark

Hi Wayne, thanks for taking a look!...I really enjoy your videos!..I've actually just started a new channel today where I'm going to be uploading allotment videos. This channel is a mixture of motorbike and allotment stuff, mainly about the motorbike so I've decided the allotment videos will be better and more focussed on their own channel. Thanks very much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, much appreciated! - and if you'd like to see the allotment videos, they'll be getting uploaded here..ua-cam.com/channels/E31l9EzrZia4L3xI1n4OWg.html

@@MarkOneMoto Hi Mark thanks for the info regards to the new channel I have just subed to that channel to see how your getting on with the allotment. All the best Wayne.

@@waynesallotment7757 hi Wayne, that's brilliant thank you... You have the honour of being the first sub and I'm honoured that you've subbed ha ha!.. Its been a great year in terms of the amount of stuff I've harvested!.. Thanks again and speak to you soon, take care, Mark

Thanks man, I see you're a fellow fan of tinkering around in the shed too ha ha!.. Thanks for the sub, got you back and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍... Rsmf, Mark

Ha ha, good lad... I enjoyed your garage episodes mate 😁.. Ta very much for having a gander and taking the time to comment, top man 👍

@@MarkOneMoto i didnt remark on your lovely shed as I am jealous haha

@@BritNinja88 aye, it's nice to have a little space to escape too...I get left alone in there, its great Dan mate 😁

@@MarkOneMoto ooooff that hurt haha

Ha ha, cheers for that.. I'm enjoying it so far but I'll definitely be making a few changes. The riding position is far too lent forward for my old back!.. Thanks for the sub, got you back mate and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, much appreciated!.. Rsmf, Mark

Thanks mate! , yeah, I'm well chuffed with it and I agree.. I could easily fit another in there... Sshhhh, don't tell the missus ha ha!... Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated, atb, Mark

Ha ha!.. Yeah, finally got round to it...I need to get used to filming stuff again because I do actually quite enjoy the editing etc. Just ordered a new flip screen camera so hopefully that'll prompt me to use it more!.. And thank you, the old girl is a looker, but there definitely be some changes. It's pretty quick for a 500 but quite a way from a FOWSAND no doubt. Cheers for taking a gander, much appreciated kidda 😁

Mark's Shed . . . ooooo changes?! I’ll be wanting to see that happen! New camera. . . proper little film studio your creating, very nice👍, watch out Tarantino!! . . . as for my Fousand, oh dear 🥴. . . but that’ll be in a video coming shortly. . . Atb Geezer

Lol, thanks Pete mate.. The sticker is definitely the icing on the cake.. Pride of place on the wall lad. Yeah, the gs appears to have been well looked after overall.. A couple of bits of surface rust on the frame but nowt mega. I'm definitely leaning towards the scrambler route I reckon. I've got a new flip screen camera on order too, so hopefully I'll get back into the swing on making videos again. Thanks for having a butchers mate, much appreciated 😁👍

@@MarkOneMoto my pleasure mate

Ha ha!.. Cheers bless you.. Not sure it's a work of art but it's bigger than anything I've had in the past and at least I've now got enough room to work on the bike!.. Thanks very much for taking to time to watch and leave a comment, much appreciated mate!.. Atb, Mark

Thanks mate, I'm well chuffed with it. Finally a bit of room so I can work on the bike, happy days!.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated!, Mark

Why thank you kind sir!.. Yeah, she scrubs up well for an old girl ha ha!.. Thanks very much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment mate, much appreciated!.. Atb, Mark

Hello mate, that's fine, promote away ha ha.. I'll check out your channel later after work, atb mate, Mark

Hey mate, thanks for that and yes, it's now full of tomato plants!.. I need to get my finger out and do an update video soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, take care, Mark
