- I thought I could do one last video but there is too much, so sorry. Here is the installation of the Engine, Gearbox and a little indulgence, a brand new rear shock from Brooks Suspension in RED......pure bling! The wiring loom has been fixed but still a lot of connections to make, but getting closer. It now looks like a GS again, well I think so?

Video 1.15 . You have to laugh yourself with your construction of lashing straps around your house, I'm laughing 5 minutes because it's just the perfection of craftsmanship. Love it ! I always work that way too, who is not strong must be smart 👌👍😁
Ha ha yes Deureka, I could not think of any other way.
Two airline Pilot subscribers came up to the Peak District and we joined together for a days riding. They also thought that was a highlight of the rebuild🤣🤣
Master mechanic. greetings from Daytona
Hi Ruben, great to hear from you in Daytona......a biking capital eh🤗
This job is great example of having the time, being meticulous, marking everything, using a shop manual and enjoying the journey. Breaking a big job to a lot of small ones also helps the mindset. I liked this repair job, very educational. Thank you Sir, well done!
Always a pleasure watching you work Norm, thanks for taking the time to film and share
Hi Ray, thank you so much for your comment.......filming slows me up to about half speed but worth it for comments like yours😀
Your son is a lucky lad Normski. Another cracking vid, really enjoyed it. Probably almost as excited as you thinking about seeing it running again. Brilliant, just brilliant.
It’s just been a pleasure this far Norm. Thank you. Makes me want to take mine completely apart as you have... thank you for taking the time.
Hi Chris, going take it apart....all I am doing is following Haynes Manual step by step.......hope I have the right one🤔
Looking at picking up an 05' gs with 150,000 miles for pennies. Love watching this because I'm sure I'll be doing all of this myself!
You will love every minute Max 🥳
"Like a pro" you are a genius, quite handy having a column in the middle of the garage!
Hi Timberob, your right I haven’t a clue what I would have done without that column 🤣
I love your videos Norm...you're an inspiration!
Thank you David, I thought I would get everything into a couple of 30minute episodes......sorry there is so much and I am editing like crazy 🤔
All I can tell you:
Respect for your work and the wonderful courageous and professional work you show us.
Greetings from Germany and all the best to you.
Erich
Thank you so much Erich, that is encouraging. Sometimes I get really nasty comments and I think why am I even doing this, but your encouragement is wonderful,
Thank you Norm for sharing. You make life seem more easy. Can’t wait to watch the final part.
Getting closer Peer, another week or so. I can only work on the bike a couple of days a week and filming slows me down a lot, but great to share😀
So good to see it going back together. Can't wait to hear it running again :-)
I loved changing my clutch
Excellent work sir, thank you for your efforts, greetings from Australia.
Thank you eternal learner, and we all are. Some things we think are totally beyond us, but we can learn. Great to hear from you in Australia 🤩
There's light at the end of that there tunnel!
Brilliant Norm, really enjoyed seeing all the work that you've done on that bike. Your son must be excited to get his hands back on her? I hope you get the first ride! Thanks for uploading. I'll give you a shout if mine ever goes bang! 😂
Who says he is getting it back 🤣
@@normski3091 😂😂 I don't think he'd blame you if you wanted to keep it after all that. On a side note , I've given my neighbour your details cos he will probably want the two ram ball fittings for his RT after he saw mine that you did for me. 👍
Brilliant series of videos. Well done. I’ve really enjoyed watching !
Another job well done. Love the red spring.
Hi Douglas, they sent me the Black spring they took off as well.....what on earth do I do with a £75 brand new spring......anyone need it🤷♂️
You run a MasterClass Sir Norm! Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it....now what can I do next 🤔😫🤷♂️
@@normski3091 Thanks Norm! I picked up an ‘07 R1200GS recently with an inoperative fuel indicator. BMW service manual on order, T/S to begin once received. Any tips?
@@trinisailor2925 Hi Trini, never come across that but plenty have. Search for faulty fuel gauge strip on UA-cam and there are some bizarre fixes??
ASMR overload!!
First of all, congratulations about the video, second way, thanks.
Thank you very much Iriberto 😀
Respect!
Your a legend
I wish you were my old man.
Ha ha tell that to both my sons 🤣🤣🤣
Hello, soon the end of this kinda of Netflix series. Excited to hear the boxer sound ...
Hi Mourad, Think my son Jason blew up the engine on purpose to give me UA-cam material 🤣
Normski hahaha 😂 please to extend my thanks 😊 to him if is the case 🤣
Hi..iam from indenesia,,bmw gs is my dream motorcycle ..but i cant have ,because in indonesia that motorcycle is very exfensive
Nice vid! Enjoyed the series. I find it strange not to send the abs in for repair, being removed from the bike.
Hi Diego, not in the UK. All the experts say not possible and it is such a bad design it should never have been built in the first place 😱
these guys do, I'm surprised no one repairs that in the UK www.nitomotor.com/contacto-reparar-abs/
And there's a video, albeit in Spanish about repair of your type of abs. But at least you can see the full disassembly. ua-cam.com/video/BULerUPT-Wg/v-deo.html
Hiya, thank you for all your videos on the GS. I've got one the same year and have watched all the videos. I would like to know about the shocker from Brooks. Could you please tell me what make it was as I can't find it on their site. I would like the same as you fitted with the pre load adjuster.

Hi Big T’s, thank you for your comments, great to hear from you. This is a copy from my order, if it helps. They only did them in black but fitted a red spring for £50 and sent me the black one to put onto EBay (I gave it to the new owner). If you cannot find it ring and say you want a cost for the same one I had...Norman Hill in Chesterfield S426BX....they are really helpful, great guys🤗. I know I was over the top wanting Red, but boy did it look good 😌
@@normski3091 thank you for your reply. Your right, it looks really good in red. I'll give them a call on Monday morning. Thank you for the videos. You won't believe how much help they have been.
But i like thus chanel
The front wheel frame which bolts to engine block looks flimsy taken into account the load forces it has to deal with, does the bike feels wobbly at frond wheel when driving?
Hi Jag, not that I remember at all🤔. I have a 1250GS now and although there are many changes from 2005 to 2022 the basic frame looks the same. Rides amazing as well🤗
@@normski3091 I have seen older GS models having monolithic welded frame from front fork joint to the back, have any experience with those earlier models, their ride characteristics?
Not that I have heard Jag. I have ridden the 1150, 1200 and now the 1250 and they are all brilliant 🤩
@@normski3091 thx for the reply
