My pristine 2003 Sportster was blown over by Storm Cathleen and the brake lever took the impact and dented the tank on its way to oblivion. £!00 tops I thought. Nope £360!! Bloody ripoff! Got a neglected one off ebay for £70 and had already cleaned and painted it when I found this vid. Incrediby useful for the rebuild, especially the plunger cover. On the lever clevis, I found that little sod of a circlip a right pain in the bum, I almost drilled it for a split-pin. All done now and the sun's out for a change. Off to test it.

@Moonfleet41 4 месяца назад

Glad to hear you got it all sussed and sorted mate.. i guess you be finding a way to store it out of thew whether in future.. ! Have a great weekend and take care. !

Hi, love the content, I came across your channel whilst browsing just as you started the 883. love the clear way you present and am currently binge viewing your archive loved the TT legends triumph and now halfway through the streetfighter build. incidentally, I like the music, but I also like it without, I personally think the balance is just right

Back in the day (the early 80's) I wanted the cafe look on my Kawasaki 900 Z1 but couldn't afford the clip-ons. I did what most of the non-sponsored privateers at the track were doing at the time, and just turned and flipped my stock bars. I sure miss that old Z1.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Sure thing mate, imagine what they'd be worth now, sadly relegated to museum pieces!

@paulregner5335 2 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 There's actually a '73 900 Z1 occasionally roaring around the high desert where I live. I just can't justify a second mortgage on my house to give the guy that owns it what he wants for it. It's pretty hacked-up too. It's got an extended swingarm and none of the original plastic side panels or emblems. Its current state was somebody's dream at one time though.

@LS-uv9gg 2 года назад

I'm still fascinated by the red rubber grease stuff, lol. Have never seen that here (western Canada) in all my years. I have always disliked with a passion, using brake fluid to lubricate any rubber brake seals, and never truly got into the silicone lubes for other things like side panel grommets etc. Love all the continual little tips and tricks that add up to headache saving tasks as always. Thanks!

@davepelfrey3958 2 года назад

L S, when he was applying the grease I got a flashback. When I was in the Army in 1978 I was a helicopter mechanic and crew chief. We always used Crisco Shortening. We stored it in a small baby jar in our toolboxes. Yes Large blue can with a Crisco label on it.

@@davepelfrey3958 Wow, that is so cool to hear neat little behind the scenes details like that! I had just googled "red rubber grease" and discovered it is a vegetable oil based product, so my mind is blown at finding out these things. Thank you for your service, Sir.

Del is there any issues with mounting the brake reservoir at angle from the horizontal? Most sports bikes with clip ons have a separate reservoir that sits level. Good video as always.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Not at all mate, as long as the base of the resevoir is well below the surface of the fluid and the cap's sealed tight, it's fine. Remember every time you park your bike on the sidestand and lock your steering to the left, your clutch resevoir is at the same semi vertical angle.

Always appreciate your work to restore the original parts and have them come out looking so good! Watching a film the other day, my wife seeing handlebars like these asked, 'what kind of handlebars are those?' To which I 'knowingly' replied, I don't know for sure, but Del calls them 'clip-ons!'😎 Cheers to you both for all your dedicated, hard work on this channel!

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hey Alan, great to hear from you! Not a style of bars you're familiar with I guess, but pretty common over here, and most sportbikes have them in one shape or another, have a wonderful week both of you and keep safe! D&Px

@jesusvillamartinez3581 5 месяцев назад

Buenas me gustan mucho tus vídeos yo tengo una Harley Sporster Roadsters del año 2017. Soy de Murcia ( España) me he dado cuenta que siempre utilizas en tus vídeos una grasa de color rojo para lubricar las gomas que podrías decir que tipo es para yo utilizarla. Muchas gracias amigo.

@Moonfleet41 5 месяцев назад

Hello Jesus. Just to be clear. never put any form of grease on "Tyres", but if you mean rubber seals in the brake system, then that is Red Silicone Rubber lube.. it is readily available from motor parts stores, and im sure you can buy it there..

@myz06rocks 2 года назад

was thinking as you were doing the outro on the video when you mentioned the clip ons, if you don't like them for whatever reason you might prefer a vrod style set of bars? they might give you the riding position you prefer with less weight on your wrists. Have a great weekend.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Thanks mate, I'm leaving my options open, I have a few pairs of bars to fit in place of these if I need them, including the originals... the prime directive with it is to create a comfortable ergonomically riding position so I can really chuck the bike around and enjoy it, that'll come before looks or style, I most definitely want function over form! Enjoy your weekend, ride safe!

@pjb5757 2 года назад

Hi Del, great job again and although I'm not really a Harley fan I'm enjoying watching your progress with this one. Having worked on bikes for years I have learnt that putting a bit of copper slip on the reservoir cap fixing screws was a great help when it came to trying to take them off again. Keep up the good work, best wishes to you both from NZ.😉

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Sure thing mate, there probably isn't a more exposed area to the elements than the res caps, they're right up there in the wind and rain blast and it's usually cheap zinc plated screws in to aluminium castings, a recipe for seizure! I generally switch over to stainless if I can, or at the very least a little anti-seize as you say, and the biggest error of all I see made is people over tighten them... they don't need to be hammered down, it's never necessary, just nip them up! Have a great weekend there, ride safe!

@Butterfly07949 2 года назад

It's a shame really not to use the 22mm clip-on's but probably the Harley 25mm standard ones will be in keeping with the bike. Great vid once again Del all the very best x Ps watch that shirt with that moving machinery. A carbide cutting bit slipped and caught my shirt sleeve and dragged me in. Fortunately the drill stopped and all I sustained was a bruise.

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Sadly mate I can't use these clip-ons, I will need Harley specific ones as I just don't need them to be 25mm but also to have dimples for wiring! There's a few on the market so I'll look for a good deal if I decide to keep them. Have a great weekend!

@Butterfly07949 2 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 ooh I forget about the internal wiring, what a feature Harley has. Yes looking forward to the weekend as I have just replaced the flywheel magnito as two of the magnets had broken off. Yes have a good one my friend.

@rickrogers2649 2 года назад

Great idea to do a mock up of the clip-ons without spending a bunch of cash up front. The satin finish on the handlebar controls really looks great. I'm noticing more in recent videos just how dialed -in your whole shop set up is. I'm sure it took a long time and a lot of hard work to get to this point. You and Penny should be very proud of your accomplishments. Many thanks to you both. God bless and stay well. ❤👍👍

Hi Rick, thanks so much for your kind words... and now you mention it, yes I guess the garage is pretty dialed in right now, everything's where I need it and everything works... and as for taking a long time to get here, you could say 40yrs mate, but as with all things, they're never finished, there are still things I'd love to upgrade in the future!
