Rewaco RF1 GT Rebuild.

Seats
They wherent bad but i wanted them to be in my colors.
I removed old leather. It was same time when i did front handelbar. As handelbar was not correct i did not feel comfortable when sitting. So for future i cut front seat and integrated head rest frame into it.The white stuff in picture only holding it to be covered plastic and cloth. Right now i do not need it but never knows. When i get them back from saddler i was happy withe the colors, but now i see back seat writing and its not correct at all. Talket with saddler and he will repaire it.

I had a tear drop caravan but they are a pain to see round for overtaking (cause you can!!) they have limited space and totally feck up the beautiful sound of the exhausts when your on the power.

So sold mine and got a trailer tent. Can tow with RF1 at 85 if I want with no bother. Can sleep up to 4 in comfort if needed.

Mine is a Comanche Montana. I also use the tow bar if on a really fast hack on mountain roads to an overnight to carry extra kit on a bike carrier.

Don't want to hi-jack your thread so will post a photo or two elsewhere.

You've done a good job there I'm not a great fan of factory builds but after having a go on mats I would jump the chance of owning one if it come along

Not taking hours worked did you save much money against buy one

Not taking hours worked did you save much money against buy one

On money side i deffenetly save a lot(if i do not count hours), and one plus side is now i know for 100% that everything is OK.
I have cheked, cleaned and reconnected all electrical connections.
If something happens on road i know where everything is, like not a suprise for me how to change battery.


There is on problem that i cant get my head around.
When i first start engine (cold start) for a minute or so i cant touch throtthle if i run throtthle it will shoke and shuts down.
After a minut its ok and working fine.
If some rewaco owner reads this pleas let me know do you have same problem or you dont have it.
I think that it is somekind on sensor but witch one i to not know.
Because of that i try to learn about its custom ECU allsou, do get it diagnosted.
