Like my Uncle Kenny said... "you gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them". J/K he's not really my uncle. 😁 I really like the look of the squared off version more. Looks like it's going to be a perfect blend of form and function. And props for showing when things don't work out perfectly unlike the "reality" bike build TV shows . 😆 This is real reality here. Have a great week Del and Penny and many thanks. ❤👍👍

I remember years ago watching you do with on the bandit 1200, always wanted to try it and now ive got an rgv style race seat to fit my banit project ive got an excuse

What year is that Sportster with the hard mount engine?

Del very nice job and work ethics! First video I have seen from you. I see you’re very particular about how things are done. 😎👍👍 “ I subscribed🔔 “ I like the idea of using the Crain they make some really nice electric crain’s that you can have hanging above your work space but they wouldn’t move around the shop unless they slide on a beam up above. That bike is going to be real nice. I was wondering what type of oil is preferred for treating those bolts? Have a great day 👊😎🍻 from SW Illinois.

Great attempt, shame it didn't work, but second attempt will be good enough, great video Sir

Id rather be riding than spending 2 hours cleaning. No disrespect meant at all, it looks good now.

Nice video as always there Dell! Hopefully all is well, and definitely give a shout to Penny! Bring her back for a cameo appearance.. cheers mate and up the Chels

No such thing as a failed experiment bro', just a whole noo set of fine words to describe them! : )xx

Not for nothing but it's nice to see a screw up. We are human after all ! 👍🏻 The second go around is looking sharp !!! 👍🏻🤠👍🏻🇺🇸

I paused this video at the beginning to just take in that message you provided thanks !

Nice bit of fabrication Del ! You must have the patience of a saint mate 👍

With the second attempt are you going to trim the bent section or leave it as deep as it currently is? Just wondering is all =-)

Hy.could i clean chain with diesel??

What were the vise grips used for?

I've just bought a 99 gen 1 busa, after wanting one for the last 10/15 years. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Though I've had to do the later tank swap as the previous owner bought it off someone who had it sat 10 years with fuel in, killed the OEM external pump, not sure why Suzuki decided for the first 2 years to fit them instead of in the tank. so anyway, they had an aftermarket external pump that sounded like a Dyson, louder than the engine. So a later tank of the wrong colour and a bagster tank cover has sorted that for now 😅 looking forward to catching up this project, I remember watching you build it all those years ago. Learned the hard way that the fuel tap doesnt turn off too

Half way through I was wondering how that first piece was going to survive. 😊 I can’t say any of this looks easy and way beyond my own abilities, my own thoughts might have been to incorporate something like you’ve done but maybe around the headlights as well? Take care have a great week.

Buongiorno il dado della puleggia è un dado sinistroso? Grazie buona giornata

Buongiorno il dado della puleggia va tirato a 80 nm.? Il dado si stringe normale alla destra? Grazie buona giornata

Hi mate 👍😉 What if you put a little to much oil to the tranny? I always measure the oil level on the dipstick when the bike is straight -not on the kickstand . I put like 950 ml in to the gear box.

11 years later and I learnt more from this video than any of the others I found. I tried the plastic pipe method and it worked a treat. Thanks.

Such a pleasure to watch your videos! Clear, concise with no BS! Thank you Del. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.

i have done the chain conversion on my Iron883 do you have any issues with slapping on the belt guard mount on the swingarm? i’m not running the belt guard on there. Am i better off grinding it off if not in use? Thanks in advance

A great how to Del, job well done. Homemade tools are the best as you said ,we all have them for that one job and in the tool box they go for another day. Hope all is well over your side, take care. Cheers PS I am over this bloody rain we are getting LOL

Them were the days

Where can I find those rear sets for my 1980 ironhead?

You are a master of your craft Del! Clear precise instructions with all the minushia of understanding just what's to be expected. Does the centre stand HAVE to go with this exhaust system or are you just trying to shed weight?

what brand of seat do you have on the bike

Hi del a bit off topic but the next time you do a tyre change and you balance it can you try balancing the wheel at the same time by rotating the tyre on the rim so it's balanced before you inflate it thus not needing many if any weights a friend of mine told me about it so thought you might try it cheers del and penny have a good weekend

What year is this bike? I want to swap out my 2020 HD Breakout 3.5 gal to a 5 gal gas tank. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

La moto du diable ! 😅😈

Thanks for all your help Del. Great video, made job very easy

Ooooh, is a video coming with the FXBB levers?

I would ri we are hole bike first then snow foam and work brushes but not not on the paint work use noodle micro fibre mitt for that part

Brilliantly simple and clear explanation, just what i needed. Thank you!

This register plate is from CROATIA 🇭🇷✋😁

Excellent clip !! Thanx for your knowledge and expierence of explaining. My bike has 33000 miles and clutch case has never been opened . I just ordered parts to do it . I really liked the soaking in oil for 24 hours . New one on me cause ive never replaced clutch plates before . Oh yeah , subscribed and looking for more Great Info on bikes 🏍 THANX AGAIN !!

So why does everyone freak out about doing this job without fork spring compressors?? It appeared to me that they aren't at all necessary

Looks great

Is it me or do you sound a bit like Gordon Ramsay ? 😅 Great video. First time doing a 3 hole change in my 03 Dyna.

Good evening, does this tool pull a 6200

Del just remind me what was the five gallon tank off.It was made for the street bob.

Quite Chuffed! Proper instruction from gentleman "Bros" like DELBOY are most valuable in gaining confidence. It has gotten to where you can't trust dodgy service garages, especially Dealer$hips, and especially with older bikes.

I come to this page like 4 times a week hoping there’s a new video 😅 a wealth of knowledge here.

Making one tool into another for certain jobs is a great idea presuming you have the tools to make it, eg. not every diy mechanic has pillar drills or welding facilities or even grinding wheels

That came out beautifully Del. 👍✌️♥️

Flat bottomed drills you make the rockin' world go round! 🤗✌️♥️

Nice, and there are a myriad of specialty items that can be made from worn out bits,, cheers!
