      G'day Max buddy, I'm thinking of getting a little bike to plod around on, the Zephyr 1100 is outstanding but hardly a back lane bike

    Gday Ralfy, congratulations on the trophy win, the tank modification turned out spot on, bit of a mission to get it sitting right but you nailed it, top job mate, cheers

    Congratulations on your trophy Ralphy💪 Great video as usual, always brightens my day. Selling the stickers on eBay is probably the best way. When they are listed I will be purchasing two to give you a bit of support. They will look cool on my SV650 cafe racer ish alongside my "The Kiwi" logos. Thanks again for your great videos.

    G'day Ralfy, congrats on the trophy and what an awesome club the NCC is. I have been keeping tabs on the club for many years through various publications and now the interweb, I've got a copy of Feb/March '74 bike magazine with a letter from a Bill Gill the secretary of the NCC setting out the aims of the NCC and the same mag. also has a BSA A10 chopper built by a guy named Decca plus a Tony Thacker tells the strange tale of Gary Glitter's chopper-google it. I even spotted you twice in the NCC May bank holiday 2022 YT video. Cheers Ralfy, thanks for the veelogs and still watching from NZ where my shadow is getting longer the days are getting shorter my crop is harvested and there's some snow on the mountains so winter is on the way. 👍

    Nice bobber, wouldn't the original cut out parts fit back in? Just reversed the sides?

    • @RalfyCustoms
      @RalfyCustoms  Před měsícem

      Thanks bud, the threaded inserts? Because of the original tank steel they end up double layered and harder to seal with weld

    Won't that tank need 2 petrol taps or a balance pipe? Also, (Meriden) Triumph had to fit a brace between the two halves of their tanks because the weight of the fuel and the vibration used to split them.

    • @RalfyCustoms
      @RalfyCustoms  Před rokem

      Balance pipe was my recommendation, Richard didn't have one on his old tank

    • @rickmancr
      @rickmancr Před rokem +1

      @@RalfyCustoms @Ralfy Customs I find balance pipes to be a right pain. If possible I fit a dry break coupling. You can buy good quality, but more expensive, brass or plastic CPC couplings from tom-parker co uk website, or cheap plastic ones from bike parts retailers. I prefer brass, having had the factory plastic couplers fail on a Triumph, presumably because they were on top of a hot engine.

    • @RalfyCustoms
      @RalfyCustoms  Před rokem

      I'm fitting a second tap 👌👍

    Very square tyre on that yamahaha Ralfy. Tread pattern is also strange for a bike, almost looks like an old style cross ply tyre - didnt steal that tyre off an old model A ford did he? :)
