I have watched you from the start Del and it just gets better. A couple of things at 6.53 that transition was awesome with the disk - doing this myself I know how much it takes to plan that and to slip it in like that making it flow -well done. Secondly I love how you now proactively head off the haters, explaining about showing tools for others to benefit rather than people thinking its always for some other ulterior motive - love it and love seeing your kit as I didn’t know about that sort of adapter. Brill mate thanks so much. Keep up the great work. Jules. 👍
Hi Jules, how nice to hear from you mate! And I just checked your channel as you said you make videos yourself, and oh my goodness, subbed right away... ! We love getting out and about, we live in beautiful Dorset, and enjoy the countryside as much as we can, we love adventuring, but not always on the bikes, it's so much more fun when you can pull up, drag the cooker out and make dinner al fresco!... thank you for your kind feedback mate, I'll be checking out the videos, stay in touch, Del & Pennyx
Awesome, and when you get your penetrating oil I hope those both come off easy and none of them snap. Penny & You Del Ride Safely and Have A Wonderful Weekend.
Cheers Paul, made a start on it today, and there was still drama!... so you should enjoy the next video! Have a great weekend, enjoy the sunshine, ride safe, D&Px
What you said there at the end about making new bracket is what I did on my GSR600. Unfortunately bolt snapped on me when trying to take it off. Fortunately there was a spare threaded hole about an inch or 2 beside it, unused. So instead of drilling the bolt out I utilised free hole and made a new bracket from 3mm x 20mm strip. Bent it to fit angle at the engine, twisted it in the middle 90° to fit the rad mount - job done.
Nice bit of fab work Del, looking forward to seeing you get all them bolts out with your new spray, fingers crossed mate. Great looking set of spanners. love them little adapters, they are cool . Penny and you have a relaxing weekend and hope you're getting some sun. It's bloody raining here in Western Australia. Cheers
Hi mate, oh no, we only just got the first day of hot sunshine today and we were both working!! And you know England, summer lasts for a day lol... always good to hear from you, have a great Sunday despite the rain! D&Px
That's a great kit, very rare to have budget and quality tools. Great tip with the template and the cutting too, safety first, nice one Del. It's lovely to weld stuff but I never got round to investing in a welder when I had money to spare in the past. That tweak you did on the bracket is great but if I was to do that I'd have to use JB weld or something similar, would have taken a day instead of a minute =P I love that quote at the end, really resonates.
Hey Johny, good to hear from you mate, and glad you enjoy the videos, you're right, good value tools with a bit of quality to them are quite hard to find... so it's always good to pass it on! Great to hear from you any time mate, have a great week, all the best, Del
That looks identical to an oil cooler I fitted to my XJ900F. Interesting video, always enlightening to watch someone who knows their stuff. One thing I might suggest, if you haven't already thought of it - it's (presumably) unlikely the two coolers are identical capacity, so it might be worth comparing them now *before* you flog the old one. I forgot on mine, and oil changes have been a bit 'by guess and by God' ever since! Best regards, Jim
Sweet wrench set! I got to find that in SAE! Your fabricating points are spot on! You and i think alike, We de-burr the stock before de-burring the part! Unlike most folks. I just wish i had your welding skill. My best welding tool is a grinder. Nice Job!
Thank you Sir, you're too kind... but I cannot take any compliments on welding, I'm little more than a practiced amatuer myself, 10yrs of bodging and snotting bits of metal together, you develop a little bit of skill, but it's not technical skill, I never learned in the proper way on a course, I never have the time, but one thing I can say, is that a good quality machine makes it a whole lot easier!
Awesome video bro. I'm buying that set. I'm happy you share your tools with us because not many of us know what to buy to get the job done the EASY way. Its freaking hard and bloody trying to do the job without the right tools. Thank you sir!
Thank you buddy, appreciate the feedback, i hope you enjoy the tools, they will make things a lot easier in tight places, Have a great weekend aye.. Del.
Your vids are constantly improving mate, the little tips and tricks that may seem like common sense to most are a godsend to the uneducated like myself 😂. How long before Delboys Garage is going to appear on the Google box, now that would be something to pay my license fee for! Have a great weekend buddy. 😁
Thank you so much buddy, that is so kind of you, that would be a dream come true indeed, but there are so many good YT creators these days, the competition would be pretty fierce!... Great to know you enjoy mate, keeps us motivated!
Wow, congratulations Sir, and damn good on yer! It's no mean task, those of use who've had licenses since it was a single test round the block, probably couldn't imagine going through the hoops you have to today! Good luck with the final stage, and welcome in advance to the world of bikes!
@@Moonfleet41 i hab my cbt for a few years now, ive trying to get through the hazard and petception test, i was going to give up with it as tgis was my 4th attempt at it, so i just showed up and totaly winged it, got the job done though
Hey Congratulations Chris , there's no way I could pass a bike or car test now !! He'll I'm so old I can't pass a public loo !! Peace and love brother..ride safe 👍🏻☮❤
@@Moonfleet41 Absolutely. I completed a 4 year engineering apprenticeship during the 80's, and if you left a burr on anything the old boys would kick your arse. To this day, I can't put a piece of metal down until I've deburred it. :)
been watching your videos for a long time always get the 👍ups. I'm not mechanically minded but your videos having courage me to do my own work on my bike. next job is clean my oil strainer🙈🙏
Another cool tool, awesome! That's an interesting silver ummmm paperweight? at 18:38 on the left holding down the drop cloth. Where can I get one of those? LOL!
Readily available mate, it's plug for a mould as am building up my second kilo of brass filings now, so maybe get into some casting in the future, and before you judge, it'll be to make brake and clutch levers... hopefully!... they'll all be cast in one piece so no 'issues'!
I must say del, I lmao...... on the part when you said about the template cutting. On my trike (Mavis) I made a bracket and done the that thing and couldn't understand how it got bigger 🤣 " live and learn " or watch your videos and get smarter 😍
Sure thing mate, it's the boring bit of metalwork class at school, principles of template working, there are other things like if you're making multiple parts the same size, don't use one part as a template for the next part, otherwise it'll grow! Always use the template....!! But I've always believed practice is the best teacher, we tend not to make the same mistake twice aye?!
Hi, rate those ratchet adapters, simple enough for 'quality' makes to be good value too. Also, one good thing about rat bikes, after a couple of beers, that bright blue cooler can easily be explained away as a 'fat lip from a traffic cone . . . completely shredded it, the poor thing didn't stand a chance . . . made the bars twitch . . . is it your round?'.
New busa owner here! Just have the bike a few days but to wet to go for a spin! My bike came fitted with a Scott oiler,and previous owner had it spewing oil all over rear tyre! Any idea what to clean the excess oil of the tyre,its like a sticky tar like substance its all on the chain side of tyre
Seeing this new oil cooler is a bit wider then stock and now with bracket on bottom, make sure the side fairings L & R which wrap around the cooler can still meet one another on the bottom. Ya dont wanna do all that work only to find it wont fit inside the fairings by fairings not meeting one another on the bottom. Oh or perhaps you have no intention to put plastic on, if so comment superfluous. Cheers.
Hi Volvi... all the fairing has been sold off.. no factory plastics will go back on.... if i use a belly pan then ill make it, and from metal... lots of options, steel, brass, ally etc.. gonna totally change the look and i want it almost unrecognizable as a Busa..
Hi George, I put a link under the video in the description... I actually put 2 links, there is a 12 piece and a 16 piece version of the set, so they're both there buddy, and thanks for your support!
Hi Del, great video once again mate, you mentioned the problem with old steel bolts into aluminium, the dreaded white rust, ive just bought an 02 plate Triumph America that i`ll be tinkering on and servicing in the next few months, once a bolt has been removed, assuming i can get them out in one piece, and you reassemble, what would product would you recommend to use to stop those bolts seizing up in the future please?. thanks.
Hi Glen, generally myself I use copper anti-seize compound, and it works every time, if you want to be a little anal about it and a bit posh, you can invest in some Allueaze, which it like copperslip only for aluminium instead... either way, they both work, and it will stop them seizing in place in future... just one word to the wise if you're setting your bolts in place with a torque wrench, then drop a little off the torque setting as the anti-seize will help them slide in easier, so they won't need so much force.
Hi Delboy, doing a job similar to you on my 2007 Busa. Where did you purchase the radiator, there seems to be a lot of options on ebay but a lot of bad reviews also, can you forward link where you got yours? Thanks
Hi David, this is where I got it from, it's the second one I've bought from them and and I can't tell the different between the one I have here and the OEM one, they're identical in every way, right down to the extra brackets and clips for multiple applications and it's never missed a beat on the other bike, here you go: www.ebay.co.uk/str/primecooling-eu?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
@@Moonfleet41 Nik Blackhurst He's one of the guys responsible for Project Binky: a 4wd turbo mini cooper Really well made build both videp quality and fabrication Ps. Huge fan of your build. Channel is amazing, props from Canada
@@NSUGS Aha, now I know who you mean! I follow Binky as well... although they havent made a video for months, and I think that car's gonna take 10yrs to build at this rate, but you're right, their videos are amazing!... I'd love to meet them, they seem like a good laugh!
Fairing's long gone mate, sold every single bit of it, screen, mirrors, full tail unit, hugger, everything... it will get some bodywork, but will be making it from scratch!
I have some very old Gedore Blue from my days on the tools, and its actually pretty rough looking, but then it is 30 years old now..! like old Britool stuff compared to the new stuff now.. very different in its finish..
Ooooo more tools to buy that looks like a must but better be next month as just replaced my socket set at £155 😂where did you get it mate ? Have a good weekend
Hi Leigh, as I said in the video buddy, there's a link in the description under the video, two options on the set, 12 piece, or a 16 piece, to suit your choice! Just click the link and you can buy direct online from SpannerMonkey!
Hi Del, I'm really sorry to say this mate but I'm finding the last several videos for me have been quite boring to watch. It might be because I'm not really a cafe racer/ hayabusa lover but I do get the concept. I will however get interested when all the fabrication gets going and I completely understand why you have gone this way of doing things especially the bearings etc. So, I will hang in there and hopefully when the fabrication gets going it will stir my imagination again. Love to yourself and Penny and ride safe xx
Thanks for sticking with James, a project on any bike is a wealth of different tasks, from repair and maintenance, to fabrication and finishing, perhaps that's why there are so many unfinished projects for sale, it takes great patience and commitment to see a project through to the end, and there are many people inspired by what we do, so hopefully each video has a use to someone, all the people, all the time aye buddy!
