Hey well done Iv been painter for 32 yrs and always building bikes last one a 1986 klr 650 A1 .I streerfightered a Honda pan euro st1100 last year Any way my point was when you come to put a skimming of filler over the unit it will crack with vibration ..I suggest you use 1 part glass fiber (bridging filler) 2 parts upol plastic padding ..slightly harder to sand but you will be able to twist.pull even jump on it any no crackingKeep up the good work oddballz .Whitley bay
Thanks buddy, am using the upol stuff for the skin on this, the shape of the panel so far seems to have made it extremely rigid, there's very little, if any, flex in it whatsoever and with the struts and frenched light tube that are gonna be glassed in to i underneath later, it's gonna end up completely rigid like a box, so I'm pretty confident in the final finish, I've always used flexible filler, cos like you say, on bikes, it's so easy for it to crack... thanks for your kind advice, I will take it all in to consideration as I go forward, it's much appreciated....
You can mix fiberglass dust from sanding in with your resin to fill small holes.
aha, stay tuned buddy, I got a video planned shortly of actually recycling filler dust to make more filler... mainly because I heard a tip where someone mentioned using talcum powder and resin to make filler, I've always known about fibreglass dust, they even sell it as bridging filler ready made... ok, that's not strictly dust, it's more like loose fibre glass shavings, but good tip, great to share these things, it's how we all learn aye!
Probably left it too late again but you can use the fibreglass resin instead of car body filler, just mix it up with ordinary talcum powder to the point that it wont run. Its easier to apply will give you less pits and when sanded results in a much stronger smoother almost glass like finish. A Portuguese boat builder taught me the technique years ago and I've never used the likes of Isopon since.
Fantastic tip! I'll grab that one lol
Hi buddy, I love those kind of tricks, I've used the powder from sanding of filler, whicih as you'll see in the next video, amounted to a whole dustpan full! That works really well too... and also I've heard cement powder, but I guess it's just anything to give it body... thank you for sharing, hadn't thought of talc, bet it would smell nice too lol - much appreciated mate...
We do it that way on a lot of old cars we've painted over the year ..tvr's , lotus's and we now use it in plastic wings Reno n all the bumpers .but keep going as far as I can see doing great job I'm looking forward to next year of this build haha ..oddballz
Thanks buddy, good to know I'm on the right track, and I do hope it doesn't take that long lol
You have given me some helpful tips there bruv, it saves me a lot of time trawling you tube and the interweb looking for solutions. Cheers buddy saves my eye strain watching video after video. 😁😁. It's coming along nicely. Hope to see you at the weekend for tea and talking bolloxs. Ride safe bruvva and enjoy the sun.
Cheers buddy, will catch you on the forum PM later on about the weekend!
When you use clay..what did you do to make certain where the tabs on the fairing go?
Looking good buddy.
A.H.Shotdown comment below is good advice.
Talc and resin for filler, or used fiberglass powder is better used than car body filler.
Cheers buddy, I've done that myself before using the sanding dust, in the next video at the weekend (still editing), I had a whole dustpan full of filler sanding powder and they'll be plenty more where that came from lol !
I got the intro to you thru your interview with the Missenden Flier! Fascinated now. I did a rebuild of a Ford Pop years and years ago using most of the techniques you’re using on the seat frame. Tough to get it smooth but your patience is to be recommended. You wear the face mask but what about the residuals? I worked in chem labs for a number of years and so why don’t you consider some form of retractable extraction unit over a workbench, especially if your going to be doing lots of sanding etc? Just a thought. Again, fascinating and I’m learning so much. Ride safe.
Hi Doc, you are of course dead right on the residuals, but it is just a regular garage and it's a colossal investment to start installing extraction systems, perhaps one day as things roll along I'll be able to justify the outlay... glad you found us, welcome aboard, and hope you enjoy the videos, all the best, Del
Saw a bike parked up in Bridlington yesterday 8/5/2018 with a Dellboys Garage sticker on it.
Blimey, they get everywhere lol ! We have sent a few out over the years to people who ask, so I guess they're gonna turn up some time lol !
Cant wait for filler and paint, I guess it's mounting points first though, what about a comfy seat?
Hey buddy, in that order, you must have guessed! It's a think layer of filler just to stablise the panel up next, nothing finished, or fancy, just a layer, then in the following video a strut so I can start to think about mounting it on the bike, but as for a seat, I think just a leather pad will be fine, the less the better !
looks great
Buen trabajo teacher!!!✌🏍
Gracias amigo mío, eres muy amable..
Hei,you use das clay or polymer clay for base?
U got Utah, Cali & PA license plates on ur wall 😊
Interesting
Hi, I have a 2003 1200 bandit which I've had for 18 months, Its 'had a flat spot of varying degrees from day 1. As I accelerate from an idle sometimes it will stall completely leaving me sitting at the lights, other times it seems to run on 2 or 3 cylinders for the first 5 to 10 minutes of my commute. Motor's fine,K&N filter, recent sigma jet kit fitted, standard exhaust, been to many mechanics including Suzuki dealer for several weeks who said 'it's just the nature of the beast'. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Jon.
Hi Jon, sorry to hear about this, what you're saying is you're having a flat spot just off idle and it's bogging down... I'm just interested in your breathing system, K&N filter's cool no issues there, they don't really make much difference, but am not familiar with the Sigma jet kit - what parts did you change?? Was it needle and main jet, as with the Dynajet kit?? And was the needle that you fitted adjustable in height by having multiple notches at the top to mount it on?? And for what it's worth, those who said that's the nature of the beast, I respectfully disagree with that... Bandit's are not rough runners, they're a very smooth, and reliable, engine...and all the Bandit's I've ever had have never had a flat spot, but it IS curable mate... am also interested as to why you changed the jet kit, as with a standard exhaust you shouldn't need to... and finally, if it does have an adjustable height needle, then it sounds tuneable, so perhaps a visit to a tuning shop, like Moore Speed, TTS, or Debben Performance, or anyone with a rolling road who can set it up for you.. that's probably all it needs mate.......... and I'm assuming all this on the basis that it's fully up to date on servicing and that your valve clearances are correct??
Hi Del, I appreciate your reply & help & liked what you did to your bandit. I had my bandit 12 months & numerous mechanics visits in that time, carbies balanced & cleaned several times, compression test was good, valve clearance done, bike has only done 40000 klms. Then I put the American sigma jet kit in which consists of idle jet size 17, up from std. size 15, main jet #1&4 to102.5 & #2&3 to 105, I also replaced the float needles & set the floats. It still has the std. needles set at the centre of 5 positions & the mixture screws set at 3.5 turns. Since the above the bandit has been in mechanics shops for weeks & I believe one of the mechanics drilled the idle jets out to a size 20. I've since bought an 04 sv650s, I live in Toowoomba Australia, maybe I could seek out a performance shop further a field because I like the bandit. Thanks for your interest & help Del. Many thanks, Jon.
Hi Del, well I'm surprised how much time you have had to put into the tail piece to get it right but, it's looking great. Time well spent on getting those air bubbles out. Roll on the weekend.
Thanks buddy, you're very kind, it is worth the time, and really reassuring to know that it's now a solid panel with no little gremlins waiting for me when I come to paint it !
cool build
nice one del..
Its getting there ,learning all the time and its made me think about my build and given me ideas , err umm what i said last time about the great music ? well start of this one sounded like a 70s porn film ( had to google it just for clarification ) as i would not have a clue what one would sound like !!!!!! Delboys Does the south coast sounds better than Debbie does dallas
haha you're not wrong, the intro of that track is a bit Ron Jeremy aye?? (now I bet you'll Google him too!)...
now you say it you do look a bit like Ron
Great work. I started itching all over when you were grinding

Another good video, all important things. Fibreglass looks good to work with. Brilliant, thank you
Thanks buddy, having lots of fun with it !
I can't wait to see the finished product. I think it's going to look awesome! You definitely have a lot more patience than me.
Thank you, that's very kind... I've never considered myself patient, but it just seems to be such an engaging project that it keeps me careful on every step as I want a good result !
Always get excited. When see notification that you uploaded new video.😂
Thanks buddy, appreciate that... glad you enjoy!
(P) I was wondering whether the Dremel was still working, hadn't seen it in action for a long time
Hi Paul, yep, all still there, but it is odd, I look in the cabinet now and again, and see tool cases but I can't remember what's in them... so I have to have a quick look lol... but I've ordered a funky little tool for an upcoming tool review that uses a Dremel, so it'll be getting a bit more use soon!
Hi, great job. As everything there are lots of secrets in the process . thanks for the tips. Gus
Cheers Gus, much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it !
When an were are your rideouts would love to meet an learn from you
I don't host ride outs buddy... meet with friends now and again and go to various bike meets, but don't have any schedule to it...
Nice job Del. Great tip to pass on about the potential for paint bubbles. Skäl
Thanks buddy, it's important to share the little things we know aye !
Coming along nicely
Cheers James !

Hi Del a suggestion for indecaters look at the led for Ducati pentagali side flair dose are so small and nice . Good work you do. Jocke
Hi Jocke, thank you for that kind link, they look very cool - I do have a cunning plan for the indicators, which I'm keeping secret till I get there! But if it doesn't work out, I will give these a try for sure - thanks mate!
That big bubble on top must have been an unplesant surprise for you.
End result looked nice !!
Sure was buddy, my heart sank when I spotted it during editing, but all fixed now...
