My OCD would be in overdrive caused by that half moon not being central 🤣 but a great job as always 👍

@davekendrick7231 2 года назад

It’s off centre, I love your work Del, but off centre?

@tommylitchfield3450 2 года назад

That looks really good, Del. I like the offset design quite well. I thought about how cheap the stock solution was, but mine is hidden under the bars, so I didn't care enough to fool with it. But with your clip-ons. your solution will shine (metaphorically, after a bit of weathering) as a centerpiece for your dash area. As I type this, I think maybe you have inspired me to add some Buffalo nickle conchos to my little cheap tin piece, since I used a buffalo nickle as the end of my choke knob. Yep, I believe you have inspired me to do just that!

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks Tommy, to be an inspiration is an honour, we're glad the video could help you out... thank you for your kind support as always!

@rickrogers2649 2 года назад

I like the offset on the filler plate. Kind of reminds me of a rising sun, not that I'm ever up that early now that I'm retired.😁 Had me wondering how you were going to get a round peg in a square hole there for a minute but I knew if anyone could do that it would be Del. And make it look great too. When you add up all of these cool little details the total comes out being way more than the sum of its parts. Epic job again Del and Penny. Many thanks. God bless and be well. ❤👍👍

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hi Rick, thanks for your generous kind words, am glad you approve of the top plate, just a little something of a signature piece to, just like you say, set the bike apart and make it a little more than an accessory catalogue special!... Have a great weekend buddy, keep safe and stay in touch, D&Px

@life_behind_bars 2 года назад

Always love the little reminder to put the lathe chuck key back in its place before starting the lathe, but just to be on the safe side I built a key holder with a micro switch that breaks one leg of the lathe start button. Now I don't have to worry about forgetting because my lathe won't start without the key being put back where it belongs. Anyway the bike is looking amazing. You have inspired me, and I'm searching for a used sporty for a winter project. Already have my Wera socket set and some black latex gloves. I'm ready to go 😎

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Good luck with your project buddy, remember it's about the journey, then the destinations arrives all by itself, have fun!

@Butterfly07949 2 года назад

Your signature is on everything you do Del, every little detail in the things that you make is in there. All the bikes of the past all say Delboys garage. As I write this I am thinking of another RU-vid'er I have seen who now owns Damage. Your work lives on Del and will always will! Future classics.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks for your kind words Marc, we're really enjoying this Spprtster project! Have a great weekend, ride safe!

@renzovc 2 года назад

another great video brother!!! the custom piece on the headlight makes it a unique look 😎👌 bike is looking badass , I agree with the clip ons and also relocating the speedometer, it will be nice to see what you can come up with brother ! you are the best ! keep up the great work brother! stay safe guys cheers from new york 🎉🍺🍺🍺🍺

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks Renzo, glad you approve, just some little subtle signature accents to break up the colours and make it a bit more interesting!... Lots more cool stuff to come and, of course, more brass too! Have a great week both, take care and keep safe, D&Px

@Timson254 2 года назад

Aaaarghh - the offset rings hurt my OCD. I was shouting at my phone “Del - it’s off centre!!” 😂 But that’s my problem! I appreciate it’s an artistic expression thing. Loving the line of the bars/light shroud 👍🏻😎

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks Tim, I knew I'd need to mention it at the end, just a little something abstract to break up the familiar!

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks buddy, that's very kind of you, am glad you're enjoying the content!

@LS-uv9gg 2 года назад

Huh. I never would have guessed Sportster headlights hung down from those covers, I always thought they were purely a cosmetic thing. Quite fascinating. The little brass accents look a treat in the satin finish, and yes, the silhouette of the bars and that cover plate is downright perfect. A great lump of a speedo sticking up would seem awkward indeed!

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Sure thing mate, Harleys are heavy duty for sure, which is why it's never difficult to build a little finesse in to them, delicate they ain't!

@peem1244 2 года назад

I really like the offset brasswork, nice touch. And the headlight cap looks brilliant, I think I'd be tempted to use dome-headed cap screws to echo the curve of the cap itself. I'm looking at the clip-ons mounted in the classic cafe way, but wondered what they'd look like swapped over and facing up. I know, I know, I should switch my old brain off now and again. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. 🤘

@mikeopenshaw9128 2 года назад

Those brass details definitely add a unique personal touch to the bike - and as I always say to people that "constructively criticise" my non-standard changes - "my bike - my rules!" Thanks again guys! x

@tommylitchfield3450 2 года назад

Mike, isn't it funny how those who offer up the "what I'd do if it was me" usually either don't even own their own whatever they are criticizing or theirs is bone stock, or has a widget from the widget store, so they can be "original" just like everybody else who also shopped at the widget store :)

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Great point Mike, it's easy to criticise when you don't have to commit to something!

@ThisIsQsDad Год назад

I'm three weeks away! I loved the off-center design, really unique, well done!

@tomasgereon272 2 года назад

Man… suddenly the outcome is so fantastic just by putting one piece back on !! Absolutely amazing, so nice to look at, Del! Again , looking forward for the total result in the end , can’t wait

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Many thanks Tomas! Really appreciate your kind words.

@andydawson2070 2 года назад

Absolutely agree with the lovely curve across the headlight and bars.

@neilbowser6359 2 года назад

A small digital speedo where you put that plate, instead of the plate would look good. Finding one the right size might be challenge though.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

@michaelmclarney1994 2 года назад

I like the brass insert Del, nice job and goes with other bits you've done. The lines of the front end and clip ons look sweet and am looking forward to seeing what you do for the speedo and if you go with what I'm thinking might work 👍😀

@joepie221 2 года назад

Looking good Del. Is that your bike? Ever consider a small digital speedo where you just mounted that brass plate? Don't know if its even possible, but it sure would keep things clean and custom. Take care Sir, stay well.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hey Joe, I have thought about a higher tech solution with a digital unit, but I'm a great believer in displaying the genuine mileage, it's the integrity of the vehicle and all that, and I've an old fashioned love for an analogue speedo, haven't made a final decision yet, I just fitted a GPS speedo on my Hayabusa and it's a great solution for stripped front end... so I'll see what I can come up with! Have a great weekend Joe!

@myz06rocks 2 года назад

I kind of like the recess in the headlight mount for warning lights etc. maybe still use the brass piece as well? I was kind of winding back time as I was watching this… how long have you been in the new shop now? Time flies.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hey buddy, would you believe it's been almost 18 months in this new shop and settling in nicely now, in some ways the old one was cosier, but that doesn't really mean anything in a garage environment, it just has to be practical! Have a great weekend and keep safe.

Hi Dell. You probably know. Roland Sands have a especial braket for the speedo for sportster in café racer style. It’s expensive but is cool. Thanks for your canal.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thank you Mauricio, i did check out the RSD brackets, but it looks like they only make them for my early 2003 model, only much later models... but we have a few to choose from and i could still maybe make one myself possibly. Thank you for your support my friend.

@FREE_PUREBLOOD333 2 года назад

The way the bars flow with the headlamp cowl looks spot on. Must admit that offset semi-circles Brass insert would do my head in every time I looked at it..Thats just me. Each to their own its your build and its looking great Del.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks Mark, I knew it would rock a few people, but wanted something a little abstract!

@jonsquatch 2 года назад

It may not be the look you are going for but Dakota Digital has a MCL-5000 that is 3-1/2 x 2" that you might be able to tuck in behind the bars or fit into where you just put the headlight switch plate and it does speed and replaces your light indicators and idiot lights if you want... Most of the housing options are dreadful but you might be able to justify getting some additional tooling to make your own out of brass...

@stitch3163 2 года назад

Fine work, Del. I’m trying to envision where else you could stick the speedo clock or even replace it with something that will help retain the lines you created with the headlamp bracket and drag bars. Maybe a quick shot with the tank in place would help.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

There's a few options buddy, Joker Machine make some cool side mount brackets or maybe go digital, I'll make a choice nearer the time!
