Yes, it was, was alright when you upped the revs and rode it. I had to twiddle the carbs a bit.

Good morning, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the build. I haven't done anything on here for ages but still read the comments now and then.....still got the camper and she is fabulous, been virtually fault free since I finished it and we have been away in it quite a bit. Wholeheartedly recommend owning one to anybody who is thinking about it........pete.....

Hi, just noticed this comment, what's wrong with them? Genuinely interested because the passenger mirror cannot be set at the correct angle for the driver to see properly...ta...pete.

@@petesplace55 They are on the wrong doors, they should be more of a portrait form than a landscape form. Hopefully that will help with your passenger mirror.

@@robbboyle4359 genius......I have just swapped them over, and for the first time since I have owned the van, and the thousands of miles that I have driven in it, I have actually been able to use the passenger mirror. Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it......pete....

Good evening, they were still looking good 6 months ago, but i didnt ride it much...in the end I sold it as I just wasn't using it. It was meant to fund another project. However the moneys gone and there's nothing to show for it.....never mind...something will turn up....wheels stayed good, some of the other bits did get a smite of rust coming back (such as the footpeg hangers), but I never cleaned anything after it was done.

@@petesplace55 Thanks for the reply, I have found your videos very informative and it might be the difference between the bike be sold on or being worked on. I hope I will be involved in the refurb of the bike my friend has. Thanks again.

Good evening, they were from a bmw s1000rr.

Good morning, we still have it, how can I help?

Thanks for the comment. my dad passed away in 2018, and since then the loco has remained untouched. maybe one day, when the time is right, I may have a go at taking it on, however that'll be a long way off at the minute, The time and effort for something like that would be immense. If I ever do I might put it on here as a project as I can imagine I will need a lot of assistance. Don't hold your breath, I see it as a thing to keep me busy if I can ever afford to retire.....

@@petesplace55 I'm sorry mate I give my condolences to you and you family

jesus christ, watched them all! don't you have a life......ha ha, well done for making it through unscathed. Good luck with your re-build, when it starts to get too much, just try to imagine the end result and I promise it'll be worth it in the end. mine is still fantastic, used it loads and we intend to keep using it. just imagine on a beautiful day like today, going somewhere nice and walking the dogs then sitting down having a cup of tea and doing a crossword, perfect. who needs a lottery win when life can be this good.....if you dont mind people seeing how you work i would seriously consider making a little video diary on utube of what you are doing, it acts like an incentive to keep going, even when you dont feel like it, and the odd comment here and there can really spur you on as well. best of luck, and if you do record it, put the link on here........

Ha ha, sharp eyes, we towed/drove, it 30 miles ish home with my car with a dolly, figured it was the best legal scenario if we had any bother.....

@@petesplace55 😁 thought you might of re-numbered the chassis or had an import or something! never thought it was on tow 🙄 keep up the videos!

Good Morning, Thanks for the comment, however, I am afraid I dont have much. My dad passed away back in 2018, and since then nothing has happened to it. the Loco is exactly as it was when we put it back together (there was a video on here). Every now and then we do a bit of track maintenance, but since the lockdowns and the onset of this terrible virus nobody has been to my mums on mass, and nobody has used any of it, although I did sort out the track in January, and me and my mum sent my dad around it just once on his birthday on the red electric train (which was very emotional but lovely at the same time). I look at the loco everytime I am aver there, and think that one day I may take it on, although my standard of engineering is way off of what my dad could do. It is where I go (and probably all of us) to chat with my dad and so the time is not right to move it and start tinkering with it. One day I think I will have a go at finishing it off, but don't hold your breath, there is probably a decade of work for me there, and I am not ready for it yet......

Good morning, I got them from yambits online shop, if you put 'decal set' in their search bar, all of the options will come up. i couldn't find one for this particular bike but got one that had most of the stickers that I needed......
