Not surprised RR tops comments that guy has a brain the size of a planet and lives to help people with useful information ...saves me thinking too deep 😊😊
Fantastic Willie. Mirrors look good, side stand fix. No side stepping Willie!😂 Getting the bars move probably be more comfortable too. And the plate bravo. Hopefully see you in The Willie Arms. Need to go out to garage and get another coat of carnuba on Bumble. 😊
I'm pretty sure you can get stadium/halcyon bar end mirrors for your 500. Check with Hitchcock's. I have them on my 350 and my Bonneville. I am very happy with them.
The bike's a peach (apart from the wheels😂) The mirrors look good, and that number plate makes it sublime. Good news on my part, I passed my mod 1 and mod 2 today. I'm only 60, hopefully I'll have a good few years riding left in me.
Thanks for the latest update Willie. Those mirrors look fine to me. If they work as intended, wouldn't rush to swap them. Those engine cases are coming up nicely, and to be fair, you've had a good start as the bike is already in excellent nick by the looks of it. That dent in the tank probably won't come out fully with mechanical techniques but a decent bodyshop will be able to fill it and repaint it to give an invisible repair. I really like those wheels so it's now 76% in favour 😅
Good evening Will. first time commenting on your channel really enjoying it. The classic 500 definitely has the best colour way in my opinion and i actually think the bar end mirrors look good given they’re the cheaper option. I’m looking at taking out the Enfield Bear for a test ride it’s basically a toss up between that and the classic 650. Dave
Hi Dave, thanks for commenting buddy 👍 wow that's a great choice of bikes, either would be welcome in my garage! Drop into my live chat on Sunday (7pm) 👍
Hi Will, The bike is coming along nicely. I like the bar end mirrors. I didn't see the kwaker in your video....dont tell me , you haven't. It was a keeper 😂
Hey Willy..... do you remember (was it beano or whizzer and chips or something like that) Claude Hopper.....character had great big feet. Glad to see the Enfield is sorted.Its a shame more modern bikes dont have a kickstart......so handy. keep up the good work mate. Thanks for the content and effort in keep adding video
Reference your freezing garage, I have just has a garage door fitted that is insulated made by a company called Skandoor. Then with the help of a neighbour have put 50 mill insulation on the walls and 100 mill insulation on the roof of the garage. Then plastic barrier and OSB boarding to finish off, just finished today. Now a small oil filled radiator keeps the garage as warm as you want it. Also replaced the old fluorescent lights with LED replacements from Toolstation. Can now do an oil change on my Classic 350 in comfort ! As for your wheels I went to Hitchcocks and replaced my spoked wheels with alloys as I much prefer tubeless tyres, plus the spokes were wrecked after I forgot to rinse them off after a ride on salted roads a year ago, Uncle Stu ripped me off a strip for not following his cleaning schedule 😂
@ You’re a real character Willie. Has the Mad Leprechaun motorcycle channel guy interviewed you yet. You 2 will be bloody hilarious. No bull, I mean that. He does interviews and he’s a musician as well as a motorcycle you-tuber. This would be a laugh a minute.
Ebay has plenty to choose from. You will need to provide a picture of the V5 but cover over the long number on the front with your driving licence. They are technically a show plate from 1971? onwards. Not supposed to pass an mot but other than that I haven't heard of anything getting stopped for just the plate. Add noisy pipes and speeding to improve your chances.
Ebay buddy £13.99.. They are classed as "show plates" don't need to provide V5 details.. Mine is velcro on with industrial velcro, that's what I've always done and it works a treat 👍
@2wheeledwillie395 It's a grey area. In the spirit of compliant require a V5. It's still OK to reduce the dimensions leaving a ½" border. I lay them flat and spray paint the back, it helps if it looks like it's supposed to be there regardless of some of the nonsense requirements.
It occurs to me that if your wheels are larger than normal, then your speedo' (if fixed) will read too slow. Check the size marked on the tyre. You may have to rely on GPS for speed. 👍👍
Hiya Willie 👋. The bar end mirrors look brill. The whole thing looks lovely 😍. By the way, what's that yellow & green thing that's been left forgotten in the garage? 😂😂. Regards, Mo 😊👍.
It's nice to have wheels that let you use tubeless tires even if they are not 100% authentic. You can't see them when you are riding. Don't worry about the purists that want you to take them off. It's not their money now is it. I'm surprised the seller didn't fix things like the side stand switch and speedo before selling it. Here in Canada it would have to pass a safety inspection before getting a license plate and new registration. It's looking good even with the dent in the tank. Gives it character. BJ
They have an auto decompression so easy to kick. Occasionally you will hear a loud click from engine as it stops. It's that, nothing to worry about . 👍
Evening Will my plates are 12.5 and it’s almost impossible to buy shoes bigger than 11 in France, 🇫🇷🤣 it’s a problem 🙄 she is looking well nice bud, bars and mirrors look sorted. Man with no name did a good job. ….. Pete 🇫🇷
The Classic 500 looks great!! Your 'T' prefix number plate was originally from a 1999 registered vehicle and as you can really only use black number plates on vehicles originally registered on or before 1980, your number plate wont help you lol but the police don't really take too much notice and if you do get a tug, you can always plead ignorance, that usually works. You will have to put the yellow one back on for the MOT though, otherwise it will fail mate. Unless your garage pretends not to notice 🙂
I have a silver/black number plate for my 2015 Bonnie.....but Don't really use it. Talking to other riders (Harleys) with black numbers plates...they have never been bothered by police.
Hello Sir Willy don't stress about answering me if you don't have the time I know you're a one man show, if the U tubing benefits you I think it benefits us as well really it does I wish you the bikes and yours excelsior: onward and upward. Dear friend be well🎉.
Willie, I can't understand why you were so scared of that kickstart. Back in the day(s) that's all we had, even though some of the Japanese machines had electric starters. They often didn't work after the bike was a bit older and some kickstarts were even on the "wrong" left side (Suzuki T500, MZs, etc). So, Man up, build up your right leg muscles, start walking in circles because of it and exercise your size 15 boot. 😄
The bar ends may be cheap but if their doing the job then why not keep them. Goes to show that you don't always need to throw money at a problem, to solve it. How did you manage to get Clint Eastwood to work on your bike. Are you becoming TO famous.

It's cold here in the north east US as well, -17C this morning. Can you put heated grips on with bar end mirrors? 😄Love the rims on that bike!
Wow that is COLD!!! 🥶🥶🥶 not going to put heated grips on the Classic 👍
Size 15 😂, that dr is hilarious you'd fall over 🤣
You will find they bar end mirrors give you the best rear view.
Looking good mate! One issue though... You've got the name of the pub wrong. It's got to be the 'Willie Inn'. Have a good one.
🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭 Might have to change it Jack! 😂😂😂
Good looking bikes they are, but the tail light looks to me like taken from a trailer, so I changed that to a Lucas light, something like the L564.
Yes it is a bit odd looking, I've just bought a cover for it!!
Bikes looking great dude 👌 i predict you'll be at 10k subs by the summer 👍
I'm not sure about that mate but appreciate your confidence!! 🙏
The growth rate of the channel is pretty impressive I have to admit.
Fantastic Willie. Mirrors look good, side stand fix. No side stepping Willie!😂
Getting the bars move probably be more comfortable too.
And the plate bravo.
Hopefully see you in The Willie Arms.
Need to go out to garage and get another coat of carnuba on Bumble. 😊
Thanks Mark 👍 see you Sunday mate
I think I’ve got Halcyon side mirrors on my Triumph.
They’re pretty awesome.
👍👍👍👍
Bloody cold in Florida too.
500 looks great.
Looking forward to Sunday.
Thanks Joe.. Chat on Sunday bud 👍👍👍

Out of all the bikes you have owned, the Kwaka is a real class act.
Thanks JM! 👍
Looking great will, the bike's getting there. Just get that dent out of the tank, it will be spot on. 👌
Yes that's the next job Kev 👍👍
Is a month of Spain an option? Just saw a Missenden Flyer upload. Lucky bastard😂
Lol yes I watched TMF in Spain, very jealous!! 👍

Must be my age 😂 or the shine off the RE engine casing.
He did a nice job of the mirrors.

Way to go Willie! My old AJS always starts on the first kick, except when she doesn't or if there is an audience.

Did you check the speedo cable and drive to see if that's the problem with the speedo not working?
No I've not checked anything speedo related yet but def will 👍👍👍
Cold you say. That's not cold. It was -24C here this morning.

Excellent funny video again, you know what they say about people with big feet,

Those wheels !!!!
I'm glad you like the wheels Nick! 👍👍👍
you need an electric heater in that garage (EDIT: the man with no name beat me to it)

No comment!
Now you've got the mirrors sorted, you will be able to see the police chasing you for having a black and silver number plate 😂
Apparently there's not been a police car seen in these parts since 1978!!😂
Let's see you kick start it with your big toe!
