Hello Warro...Greetings from England old chap. You're video's are just wonderful to watch. The Classic 350 is such a fantastic little bike that has that 'yester'-year' look and feel about it. It's roots may lie here in England, but like so many throughout the World you've kept that dream alive. Well done.
You take some great landscapes. It’s nice to see stills on RUclips. Gives the mind a bit of time to process the scene. Nice to see the bike incorporated into some photos. I’m still deciding between the Classic and Meteor. Your advice about these bikes is greatly appreciated. You and your family live in a beautiful area. I am looking forward to more photographs. You’re inspiring me to dust off my camera and get out there as well. Hopefully, you’ll get some photography enthusiasts to subscribe. Great channel!
thanks - in my case i need a few good photos to make up for the rather crappy presentation...lol surprisingly all thse shots were taken on the much cheaper fujifilm x100v i bought a couple of weeks back. the leica Q2 is still sitting in the box. its just a lot of $$$ tied up to carry about on a motorbike if something goes pear shaped. all the best!
That was an interesting intro to your clip. It looks like you found a new location to display your Classic 350. Those are more great tips. I am looking forward to part 3 of your mods and accessories series.
Thanks 👍 been thinking i might cruise over to the old 500 forum and see whats happening there. been a while since i paid a visit or had a quick look. can tell them what a great bike this new 350 is compared to the old days.
@@ridewithwarro The 350 section of the forum is pretty active on the old RE 500 forum. I am sure that they will appreciate seeing your clips about your two bikes and your recommendations regarding improvements and accessories.
@@ridewithwarro Cheers Warro, Ever think your videos might give someone the will to carry on in an insane world? You are really doing great and sharing goodness in a world that tilted on it's axis! Keep on keeping on. Thanks so much. You and your lovely family. Cheers!
@@noneone2u all good there. as of now i must admit the whole world is in a pretty bad place. so many issues worldwide and the last 3 years have been a real terror.. but it is nice and peaceful out riding the bikes and looking around so thats a plus. all the best!
thanks and appreciated. plus best of all my subs can come here and take a look at the content and never worry about me asking for $$$ donations of any type to help their channel expenses -the sponges...lol
G'day Warro, it will be a better ridding with the new shock's, the bike looks great and l think it's a head turner when your in town, people will think it's an old Army bike from the 40s, cheers mate keep safe, Neil 🤠.
@@ridewithwarro still waiting for the rear caliper and fitting for the warranty claim, have rang the dealership, they !et me know when they arrive,good thing l have other bikes l would be really pissed if this was my only bike a l needed it for work transportation. Hope we both can keep riding for a long time more, cheers mate.
G’day Warro. Nice shots. Thanks for the info. When you have time, could you do a clip on adjusting the chain on the Classic 350. It’s supposed to be simple - but then so am I. Thanks heaps.
@@ridewithwarro ok, my plan is to use some Givi off-road bags that hold about 30 liters each, the RE bags may be too small. I need space for my laptop case, clothes, etc... When I left the US my entire belongings were in a carry-on, the laptop case, and a Wolfman dry duffle. The contents of these need to fit on the bike.
@@terrycavender well the racks for sure will come in handy as they are very solid in the build. i think you shouldn't have any issues finding bags to suite as the frame work is indeed the most important item for you.
Great series Photography at the beginning is amazing, perfect backdrops for the bike. I've been thinking about fitting a period tax disc on my bike for a while, I might jump in and order one. With the chain guard being plastic you could probably cut out a small relief so it clears the shock, once you've decided if you're sticking with the shocks. Take care mate.
thanks and glad to hear you enjoyed the camera work. i have quite a few areas to photograph so might include it more in the ride clips plus tell the story to via video clip. tax disc is a cheap mod which looks good on the bikes so serves a duel purpose. since doing the clip a few days back ive had the chance to ride both bikes and the green does handle the bumpy roads much better. i will keep an eye on the chain gurd and see hw that turns out. all the best and again good to hear you like the photos.
@@tonywright8342 its a fixed lens camera say 35mm in old scale but has a 50 and 70 mm crop function. best of all its extremely sharp from f2 to f16 plus you get the chance to compose your own photos
Hi Warro, I echo the sentiments about the stills at the start of the video, really nice. I see you've taken off the handles on the top of the rear shocks, wonder how you manage with lifting the bike onto the centre stand? I find it heavy enough with the handles! Actually pulled my Achilles tendon putting too much effort with my foot.!
totally agree-its harder to swing it back without those loops to grip. even harder without the pillion seat too. it adds a tad more weight over the rear and helps it on the swing. later on i might put one loop back and vary the angle good to hear you like the photos at the start i might do something like that more often. it was just a try it out run on this and see what happens was actually expecting some to say get on with it but wrong there or so far. all the best!
@@ridewithwarro No, keep the pictures coming! think there are lots of bikers who are into photography and really appreciate a good quality still image, especially of the stunning scenery that you're close to.
Hi Worro, I'v been thinking about New Bars from Hitchcocks, Highrise, for my Classic 500, 2021. but the trouble is i need to change all the Cables which takes the price way up. Nearly $500 all up including shipping to the philippines, what do you think ? have you tried Highrise.on any of your past bikes .. Not Ape hangers
when i was into the 500's it was common to hear the fitting of yamaha RD350 bars to the bike as they thought it was far more comfortable and helped with the vibes and raised the bars 2 or more inches. plus i don't think it included a cable changes either. but the bars will have to be drilled to lock in the switchgear $500 sounds pretty steep for the mod and unless you plan to keep it fore-ever as i think its a hard call to recover the $$$ outlay from. i'd do a youtube search and see -in fact i will - here-ruclips.net/video/WzZhjEKiFGU/видео.html
Hi Warro, smashing job done there mate. Can you do a video with the new shocks, testing at high speed over bad roads or taking it outback? I am worried about that gas chamber hitting and cracking the chain guard or even interfering with the chain.
no need i ran them 2000 klm on the blue bike and they were fine. don't expect miracles for not much money as they are a cheap enfield replacements. to get really good results expect to outlay $1000 and believe me i dont plan to waste that sort of cash on shocks when i have a new kawasaki klx150 arriving soon which would leave an enfield for dead on the dirt. this is more a better upgrade ride for the sealed stuff with very little $$$ outlay hope that helps and all the best!
@@ridewithwarro Hey congrats on the new KLX. I apologize, I didn't mean for you to ruin your beautiful bikes on dirt roads. If they're going fine without trouble then it's great. I plan to swap the shocks as well with the gas ones. The chrome bit looks splendid too. Do you suppose the chain guard to have any problem with the gas shocks at 60 mph?
@@neosmith166 no issues on the chain guard as i actually pulled the shocks off the blue bike and they had done roughly 2000 klm in various riding conditions. but some may not like it touching but i never noticed it whilst riding with them on the blue bike the halcyon grey. so i think there better than stock shocks but there may be far better ones out there...for a far better price...lol all the best!
@@neosmith166 no issues with the shock piggy back rubbing against the plastic chain guard or none so far. ive put 2000 klm on them on the blue bike before i switched in this clip. i checked the blue bikes chain guard and saw no issues of concern

Great photos Warro.
Glad you enjoyed it. i plan to add a few to each clip seeing they went down alright. all the best!
Very cool upgrades. Liked each one 💯
Much appreciated F/N
Looking forward to the next, I just bought a Halcyon Green Classic, and the pannier racks are of interest to me.
may have to slightly mod the rack even though its factory or i believe so but i will go into that on the part 3 clip

Love the Tax Disc holder and December 1951 that gives someone’s age away 🤔😃 nice one Warro I’m the 12th 👍
well its pretty close...lol i couldnt find a 52 year disc so it was close enough for me.. all the best!
That 'Tax Disc' looks great.
A nice addition.
thanks and i was pretty lucky to get a near colour match too

Is there some shocks you’d recommend that would make it a little shorter
not sure there but there is a factory option for the low seat. that might appeal to you. ive seen them for sale on ebay
0:48 my dream bike now. Is that the Halcyon grey?
correct at 0.48 on the halcyon grey. looks a nice bike and the greens ok too.

Where did you get the rear fender rack?
just about where you placed your comment i included part1

good to hear you enjoyed it
Height is different for both shocks is bro?
feels roughly the same height as the stock bike. these were actually on the blue bike for 2000 klm under all riding conditions so work pretty well.
