Any of us who have followed the series knew that passing the inspection was pretty much a slam-dunk. 😁 It appears your UK inspections are much more thorough than ours here in my state in the U.S. (N.Y.) The Sporty is really a piece of rolling art work. Beautiful in every detail. Glad you finally got to enjoy a nice ride and props to Penny for the drive-by shots. Cheers to you both. ❤👍👍

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Hey Rick.. Great to hear from you, and thank you so much for your kind words, it has been a long project, probably a fare bit longer then i planned, and i did go deeper than i initially wanted to.. but there we go, it's done now, and im right proud of the result. I hear quite often that there isn't much to do in the USA in terms of inspections, the bike just needs to be road worthy, i guess they leave it up to the cops on the day.! but we do get it easier here than some contries over in Europe such as Germany and Norway where bikes practically need to be bone stock to conform.. glad we don't have that..! Take care and stay safe sir.. and have a great week. D&Pxx

@SomeoneWhosNearby 3 месяца назад

Nice bike Del, well done. Only issue is that seat, it doesn't suit the lines of the bike at all. It's a minimalist bike with a maximum touring like seat. At least It needs the passenger section cut down at a 45° angle similar to a gunfighter seat. At most it needs to be totally reshaped into something thin so it's not the first thing the eye goes to. It's probably a bike that's not terribly comfortable anyway and you won't be going long distances on so something subtle should work. It's just a thought. At the end of the day it's your bike to do with as you like. Cheers

@loddude5706 3 месяца назад

Nice one Del & I have to say, a fine build - nothing dropping on the tester's foot is always a good sign - & riding away with a new 'roadworthy' leaves you with a very good feeling . . . however. As an artistic guru of almost Jedi-like sensibilities, I must say that I'm having thingies about that tiny headlight . . . Headlights should be strong, proud flagbearers, beaming their presence to the very eyes of the oncoming multitude. Ten inch brass jobbies usually do the trick - chrome in this case - they are the bike's true face & give it the character to shame an often indifferent World into total admiration, - at the mo tho', it has a touch of 'guilty Spaniel' about it : )xx

That’s one good looking machine you have there and we’ll worth the time it’s taken to build. Personally and some would say weirdly I’m not a big fan of loud pipes but that’s a very pleasant slightly muted basso profundo sound you have going on there.

How is no mirrors legal? I thought that it would be more strict there what with the MoT and all... You can't ride with out mirrors in West Aust... Fines and all sorts happen if you try.... Very strange....

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Not strange mate, just the way the law is, there's no requirement to have them fitted, but if you have one fitted and it's cracked or broken that would be a fail... traffic law evolves over time and usually only gets changed when there are drastic measures for a consistent problem! It seems that our construction and use regulations are pretty slack compared to yours in Oz, which is a little ironic considering you are the home of Mad Max and all things Rat bike!

@critter2204 3 месяца назад

Hi Del! Great looking bike! Really love it. But i wonder if you don´t need mirrors over there? In Germany you wouldn´t pass without mirrors. Is the optics of a bike worth risking your live on a turn without knowing what´s coming from behind? Just my 2 cents...

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

No legal requirement for mirrors here, I don't make the rules, just the way it is! I hear much about the strict Euro laws and all the restrictions they give you...

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Perhaps you didn't catch the exhaust video episodes, i have fitted full length heat shields along the length of both pipes, made from some factory heat shields.. perhaps a little warm to put a bare hand on, but more than enough protection to touch with your boot and not have any issues mate.

Sportster to ADV is a current popular transformation, quite a few guys in the States doing it, most of them are raggedy and pretty cool, I guess you could base the project around an XR1200, but then as always the factory has already got there first with the Pan America... nothing new under the sun aye?!

Well done Del, what a stunning build, top to bottom . One day I'll have a Sportster in the garage, they were in production sine '56, testament to their durability & popularity, ypure going to have so much fun on it. Hi to PP 👍👍x

Thanks Geoff, you're dead right, the KL750 was the Granddaddy of them all, and apparantly introduced to compete with Triumph in the racing world of the day... Have a great week mate, and stay safe, D&Px

Passed with flying colours I bet, looks absolutely gorgeous, job well done, you must be proud as punch 😊

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Yes! Thank you mate, straight through, the tester said it was probably the simplest test he'd done in thre last month.. not just got to run the new engine in and get it to first service.!

@markbranton1240 3 месяца назад

Del, once again a stunning ride! Love the clip on look of the handle bars! As an American it always scares the crap out of me when you guys are out riding. First on the other side of the road and then the lanes are so narrow. Question, here we wave to each other as we pass with our left hand because we pass each other on the right. Do you have a wave there and how do you do it since the rider would be on your right?

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Hi Mark. Over here in the UK, we call it "The Nod".. you're right, as we pass right side to right side, it's hard to wave.. so instead, we just tip a nod of the helmet to oncoming riders. And i guess much the same as in the USA, some riders don't bother, maybe bacause they only wave (nod) at their chosen genre of bike, or maybe they just don't embrace the culture and just see their bike as wheels to work.! Either way,, Here we "nod" to each other rather than wave !

@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs 3 месяца назад

I also nod here in Tamworth NSW Australia as the roads are absolutely crap and only the brave or uneducated would take one hand off the bars to wave.By the way, love the completed project on the sportster.@@Moonfleet41

Hey, it's official! I know you are as proud as a puppy with two ...peppers... Yeah, peppers.... That's what I was gonna say.... You have some beautious stompin grounds, Delboy, and a very fine day to go forth therein. The brass bits look fantastic! Aging like fine wine, and it's her maiden voyage. I'm sure you're proud enough when you're out and about that you must wear one size bigger hat to accommodate ye olde melon's increased circumference :) Congratulations on a job very well done!

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Yes I am Sir.. very proud of the result.. in so many ways it could have been better, but there was only so much in the budget and two years was enough.. in the end you just want to get out in the sunshine and ride it, so you draw a line and call it done. happy i did too.. It pulls hard and strong even though ive not run it in yet.. get to 500 miles, change the oil then i can let it off the lead and play..!
