I know I've said this before, but I'm always amazed by how excellent your close ups are, and the sharpness of the camera focus work. One of the best on RU-vid, IMHO. For me, I think I would have gone with a classic old school Napoleon style folding mirror, but maybe the younger, more hip biking crowd would find them a bit too dated, lol.

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Thank you very much for your very kind words on the productions, we do work incredibly hard to capture the right moments and clarity, and it does involve an awful lot of post-production work, so we are both extremely grateful for your recognising this, it's much appreciated.

@fabiopunk1661 Год назад

I do not know how it works in UB but in Italy those mirrors, especially the second set, would probably not pass the bi-yearly safety inspection (is there one in UK? the removal of the cat converter makes me wonder....). Mirrors need the CE approval, and above all, must fulfill the purpose! I personally have no problem at all with the original Bonneville mirror, they are not ugly at all, they "belong to the picture", and do fulfill the purpose!

@WillyGeee 7 месяцев назад

Question for you sir. I just replaced my levers on my 2009 Bonneville SE. The original ones had a little play in them moving up and down. When I installed the new ones the have the same play. Is this supposed to be this way? I was thinking my old levers when just old and a little warped.

@Moonfleet41 7 месяцев назад

If you've replaced the levers in to the old clevice clamp, is it possible the wear is in the clamp and not in the lever? Take the two levers and measure the thickness of the end that fits in to the clevice with a caliper, if they are more or less the same, then that confirms the wear is in the clamp housing... so to eliminate it, you'll have to replace them! Also, is there wear on the pin that drops through the hole, and are you using the same worn pin?

@greatkingrat 3 месяца назад

At first I thought that bar end mirrors were stupid…why would you want something that makes your bike wider, especially when you filter to and from work every day. But now I see that they are the solution to constantly seeing your elbows when riding a bike. :)

@danield831 2 года назад

Greetings from across the pond, I recently purchased a 2018 Bonneville T120 from a dealer in Texas and had it shipped to me here in snowy and frigid Eastern Washington state. It arrived a few days ago. Previously I owned an air cooled 2016 air cooled T100. Changing the spark plugs although a little tight was easy in that bike. Is it just me or does it seem nearly impossible to change the plugs on the T120!!?? When I go to remove the plug wire, the hard plastic spark plug boot does not seem to clear the tank. I hope it's not the case that the tank needs to be removed just to change the stinking spark plug. Also haven't been able to find anything on the the web about changing plugs on the T120. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

@Moonfleet41 2 года назад

Hey Daniel, take the seat off, remove the rear bolts the hold the back of the tank, then lift the tank up by the beck edge and put a block of wood under it to hold the tank up a bit.. that should give you clearance to change the plugs..!

@peterford9369 3 года назад

Hey Del, wanted to ask. I keep hearing how light the clutch pull is on the Triumph Bonnevilles. Mines a 2005 and the clutch is not, a one finger pull like I keep hearing. When did they, or did they change to a different ttype of clutch set up? I'm not saying it's super hard, it's just not the,,,,assisted,,, feeling, like a hydraulic clutch is,feel. Thanks Del.

@Moonfleet41 3 года назад

I don't know the date mate, but the most recent Triumphs that have lightweight clutches achieve it through a better designed clutch ramp inside the casing... you can reduce your clutch pull with a Slinky Glide cable, specially if yours is quite old, or original most people don't replace them till they break, then you're standard, so chuck a Slinky Glide on it and it should make a notable improvement (we have videos on this if you need to know!).

@peterford9369 3 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 Thanks Del, Mines a 2005. I do notice the connection point of at the case on the newer bikes is at the bottom, where mine is on top. I don't mind the pull, I've been a carpenter all my life, so hand strength is important. But feathering is obviously more challenging. Thanks for the info on the better cable. Take care.

Hi buddy, what a great present for yourself, you'll absolutely love it.. ! I do have a video, called 'Safe Use of a Motorcycle Lift' which should help you out a lot, it also covers the safety tips and basics of making sure you don't hurt yourself, or damage your bike, but generally speaking, it's not difficult, just a matter of vigilance, a bit of balance and practice... if you keep the front wheel clamp just open enough to slot the wheel in, then you can hold the bike up with your right hand, whilst you clamp the wheel with your left... if you try it a few times with a helper nearby, then you'll get the hang of it and you can do it on your own... enjoy your Xmas present mate, you won't look back... oh, and don't forget the load straps!

If you ever get it again mate, use one of those wind proof storm lighters that pokes out a tiny blue flame, and heat the end of the screw head only for about 30 seconds, that will melt the threadlock, even the red stuff and then it'll pop straight out.

Hi Andy, thanks for your kind words, good to hear from you mate, just felt that the bar mirrors looked a little detached and out of place on flat bars... have a great weekend and chat soon!

@Goldwing1500rider 4 года назад

Being deaf.... gotta have perfect mirrors, disadvantage, storage in garage messes up when bumps to it... great presentation though!!!

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Totally get that, I walk in to a mirror in my garage every time I'm there!

Excellent video as always sir, looking into the triumph speed twin as my next bike in the future. My monster 821 with over 33,000 miles sits in my garage with a cover on it 😑 due to major service needs but this pandemic has cost me my job as a window washer in NYC since March so its persons like yourself that keep me going. Thanks so much from across the pond.

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Good evening David, good to hear from you Sir, and we are so sorry to hear the terrible news about your job... what a crippling blow on top of all the health worries and we hear on the news that NYC has been hit really bad by the Covid bug, so we hope above everything else, that you and your family are safe and well? It's great to hear that you're interested in a Triumph, will you trade the Ducati in? They're a premium bike, so I iimagine you'd get a great price, regardless of service schedule... if you do for the Triumph, and you are able to test ride them, then check the Speed Twin against the T120, they're a slightly different engine, the T120 has a heavier flywheel for more low down torque, which is a big advantage in town... you can keep the revs low, and ride the torque surge, the Speed Twin is more revvy and a bit more 'hooligan'... so maybe try them both and see which one appeals. Thank you for your kind message and weboth wish you much success going forward, keep safe and keep in touch, we'd love to hear from you any time, all the very best, Del & Pennyx

As always del great video, my T120 bonneville black came with bar end mirrors that I didn't like, but I did like the smaller mirrors you put on. 👍

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Yeah they do look a lot better, not maybe the perfect rear view, but it's always a trade off aye?!

@stevie5141 4 года назад

Well they say you learn something new every day, and I did.. the clutch cable slackness 👍🏻 .. cheers Del, brilliant stuff as always..

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Sure thing buddy, always make sure there's a tiny bit of free play in the cable, it just ensures that your clutch is fully engaged when you let the lever out.

@myz06rocks 4 года назад

AHHH... did everything completely right yesterday on installing by cable but off to the garage to point the gap down HAHA great timing Del

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Cheers buddy, glad it helped, and yes indeed, always keep the gap downwards! Hope you're keeping safe there, D&Px

@DrRockter5150 4 года назад

I agree with your choice to use the Street Fighter mirrors instead of the Bar End set. It's just a meaner, sleeker look. Looking cool so far!

Just watched part 2 and I loved the mirror change Del. I am thinking of upgrading my Tiger one's now Stay safe Mate

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Yes mate, even a small change, like mirrors, can make a big difference! Have a great Sunday, stay safe there.

@robertlumsden942 4 года назад

i think the last mirrors you put on were perfect. That bike has such good lines. exhaust looks so good. really enhances the look. i think you got it man.

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Thank you Robert, that's very kind, there's a world of aftermarket choices, so glad you enjoyed watching, have a great Sunday, and stay safe there!

nao gosto dos espelhos ai, tenho o mesmo problema com a minha Street Twin .... gosto dos originais, mas gostava que fossem mais curtos . net a tec nem a motone fez nenhum que eu gostasse . abraço

@garya3056 4 года назад

She’s mighty purty, Del! Was the bash plate pretty heavy? I imagine you still had a significant weight savings after the cat was removed. BTW, does MOT care about the absence of the cat whenever it gets inspected next? Beautiful production on your vids, my friend! 🏍👍🏍

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Hi again Gary, the bash plate's as light as a feather, made from pressed 3mm aluminium, probably weighs about 6oz at best, and thankfully, we have no emission test for motorcycles here, so it doesn't matter what they pump out, but as you know yourself, modern fuel injected engines are a clean burn anyway and removing the cat has more than just breathing benefits, they place all that intense heat right bolted up under the sump, which causes tremendous heat soak, so removing it actually cools the motor down as well.

@garya3056 4 года назад

Delboy's Garage excellent! 😎

@tomcunningham2106 4 года назад

So much better looking now Del, Can the new levers be adjusted closer to the bars than standard items?

@Moonfleet41 4 года назад

Fractionally yes, but more importantly, they can actually go further out for people with big hands, and also the ball on the end of the standard ones is irritatingly always under your little finger and obtrusive, but the the TEC levers all four fingers fall perfectly in the sweep of the straight part... there's only so much closer that any lever can come before you fail to get full application, especially with the cluth, and on top of that buddy, they're infinitely better quality as well... these factory levers are practically the same as were on Penny's Scrambler that's now 7yrs old, so they really should have updated them by now!

@davejohnson2051 4 года назад

Great vid Del, excellent camera angles so you can see exactly which bolt you are taking out, im looking forward to the next one

Thanks Dave, great that you appreciate it 👍

Arrgh - Mr. Mouse's mirrors, past watching on your tail, moose antler loft effective, yet visually much fail. Needs something sleek & stylish, that's easy for the eye, to trundle round & focus, on things that just went by. For staring at one's elbows, won't keep your licence fit, when that MIGHT have been a cop car, & you're clipping on a bit! As for the sump guard . . .
