Good to see you ok and back in the workshop.
Good to see you up and at it again sir!!! Should be an interesting build 🤔 👍
Thanks buddy 👍 lots of fun jobs to take on, including some interesting things I've never done before!
😂😂” something got in the way”😂😂 that’s one way of looking at it.
Anyways great to see you back full of magic. I only found you just b4 that “something” . Subscribed and caught up with loads of stuff. You commented on my muscle bike collection. Well I’ve just added a 2006 immaculate Busa, and lo and behold there’s a whole series of vids on one. 👍thanks for the entertaining educational and fun stuff. Keep well, you look great mate.
Hi Carl, congratulations on the new Busa, and thank you for your support in following what we do... looking forward to this project, and hoping to have it out to play before this summer is out.
Thank God you are both up and running again. Dosent even appear there was anything wrong with you in the first place Del, that's how it should be me thinks!
As if nothing had happened.
Lots of love to you both x
Thank you so much Marc, i feel ok most of the time, but every now and again when i overdo it a bit, im quickly reminded i need ot take it easy... slow but sure improvement every day mate. Take care and enjoy your week.. D&Pxx
Welcome back brother Very Glad To See You And Happy For Penny and You Del 😀👍and Awesome Job Del 👌
Thank you Paul. 👍 Really appreciate your support and thank you for always being there with encouragement and kind words.. Pp says Hi.x
@@Moonfleet41 Hi Back To Pp
Hi Del great to see you back in the workshop buddy, doing your spannering magic, all love and best wishes to you and Penny, keep healing bro , love AL 💪🏻👍🏻
ah good to see you big man back on the tools bet that feels good take it easy m8 atb to you and penny iain
You're damn right Iain, it's so good to be swingin spanners again.. this project should be perfect to get me back into it..
Made i ask what the handle bar brand n were about to buy one. Plz n thank you
Here you go.. 4 to choose from. www.tecbikeparts.com/products/shop-parts/other-bikes-universal/handlebars-handlebar-levers-other-bikes-universal/
Thank you
👍👍👍👌👌🍺🏍🏍🏍🏍
So glad I’m not the only one who removes bolts then screws them back into the hole they came from ( rather than keeping in a tray )
great vid as usual. I've been looking at switching out my clip ons with straight bar and all the different risers and converts made, but why no converter that simply bolts to the nub of the front fork the way the clip ons do? It would make the whole thing a piece of cake, and be stronger as well?
Good to see back Del❤️
Hi Del.. real good to see you back doing your thing.. great project.. got me hooked already.. 🤣👍
Thank Adrian, looking forward to it myself, lots still to do and the end result should be pretty dramatic..!
I've catch a half smile of fulfillment when you tried that new flat bar. Wellcome back!
I’m really enjoying seeing you back and fighting fit, but hey, don’t overdo it mate, nice video as usual 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Pete 👍 it's great to be back, and yeah, im taking it easy in between the busy bits..!
Looking forward to this 👍🏼
Thankyou, I’m currently converting Kawasaki Z1000 from stock to FatBar 28mm, this video has given me knowledge & peace of mind.
Exciting to see how she will look del...your looking great btw 👍
Thanks for this: really interesting vid. What are the replacement bars (sorry if I missed this)
Thanks Del. I always get pumped for my own projects when I watch your videos
Glad to hear it mate.. get stuck in..
Looks crackin already Del!
Thanks buddy.. really looking forward to getting this transformed and out to play before this summer is out..!
Good to see you back and looking well, would you have a link for the risers please.
Yes Arthur, in the description and made mention on screen... but here it is anyway mate..
www.tecbikeparts.com/products/shop-parts/other-bikes-universal/handlebars-handlebar-levers-other-bikes-universal/
Del, welcome back!!!😎😍✨👍 My suggestion (if I may): Do not touch the grommets. Instead, make a 4 to 2 base adapter, with 4 shaped spacers, and a lower handlebar.
Thanks buddy, I'm going to replicate the grommets in metal to lock up the clamps, the same as I did in the Dyna WideGlide, there will be all the flex I need in the bars themselves!
@@Moonfleet41
My champion, 4 is stronger than 2, AND will also give the required rigidity. The grommets are there to reduce vibrations from the front wheel, and also to reduce vibrations from the engine when it goes up in RPM. Canceling them is not a good idea. In terms of beauty and design I am sure that you will make both Ideas/Designs for artist and glory.
@@Moonfleet41
👍As a gormmet please do not kill me🤦♂️
So happy to see you back in action!! Love the plate from Georgia, I have the same on my truck
So cool, thanks buddy!
What a great video.
Loads to see, loads to take it with some simple information to go with it.
Few pointers you made from your own experience and for viewers to take away.
Subbed 🙌🏼
Welcome aboard and thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated!
Del and Penny. Absolutely awesome to have you back. The revisited content was superb but there is nothing like new projects and new challenges. Really looking forward to everything new. Your Legend project inspired me to buy a Thunderbird. Not sure how to envision it yet its 2000 model and I would love to send you some pictures because she is a bit of a rare Thunderbird. Let me know Brother.
Thank you Philip, this the second week back, i did the Harley Street Glide shocks video last week, but this is a return to the projects and what we love doing most. Id love to see the T-Bird, channel email address is fine, look forward to seeing it..
Afternoon Folks 🍻, Glad you're back and looking healthy👍.
Any updates from the Doctors? Keep up the good work and ride safe.
Cheers 🍻, G.
Thank you Gabriel, on the mend now and making progress, lots of tests to come in the future, but focussing on getting well for now mate.
Quality as always. Been awhile since catching up on your content here and note you moved more towards the “show not tell” approach with explanation interludes. Works brilliantly. 👍🏻 Wonder whether you have seen the superb restoration video of the Ural? ruclips.net/video/y8HEZ-x4-_w/видео.html
Thank you Barney, we learned a long while ago, through experience and through watching other Channels, that you don't need to keep stopping and telling people what you're about to do, or what you just did... it's only needed now and again to explain something that may raise lots of questions because it's not obvious when seen visually... so we have shifted more towards close up demonstrations because our viewers are all intelligent people and they will work out what's happening, or will ask in the comments if they don't... and yes, I have seen that Ural video many times recommended, it is a wonderful 1/2hr watch, and indeed what a glorious result!... But in terms of what we do, a video like that teaches nothing, it's purely visual entertainment... and that's great, but we want to project on our Channel is an element of humble education so that people can learn a few things to benefit themselves... and such is the variety of You Tube when all these great options are out there!
Nekkid Busa is a fun project. Would seem like lots of Bandit 1200 control stuff would be an easy swap, have you any experience with the Bandit? I keed, I keed.
Bandit .. erm.. not sure. . .lol Thanks mate, it could be a solution.. but im gonna have a bash at making the cables myself.. seems like a fun project, and if it doesn't work out, then i can buy B-King cables, they're bound to be the same, just bit longer..
A cup of coffee a sandwich and Delboy back on the spanners that's my break sorted. Looking forward to see how the busa project evolves. Stay well my friend.
Thank you Freddie, enjoy your break buddy and thanks for watching..
Hi Del, try GSX 1400 throttle cables for length, they may be a straight swap out for the Busa ones. Do you have to drill tiny holes in the bars for the switch gear locators like on the GSX 1400.
Thanks Alex, i did think of that, not sure if the throttle bodies are the same on the big14... but the B-King will be, so that's an option if i get stuck..!
Glad to see you back at it mate. Hope the recovery is accelerating in pace. With the longer cables and pipes, how about the B-King version of the Busa. They might fit.
Good thinking mate, I've got the hoses sorted and I'm gonna have a little adventure and make the cables myself if I can!... failing that, there are a few good companies that can just me some extended cables, all good fun and looking forward to it!
I'd like also to join in with the others and welcome you back to the garage Del. Always entertaining and informative in your vids, great stuff. Be good to see if you could street a Blackbird one day as I have one and have thought about it a few times. Good health 👍
Thanks buddy, this is the second week back, I made the Harley suspension video last week and it's good to be back in the saddle, as they say! Funny enough, when I went out to buy a donor bike for the very first big project, I ended up with a Kawasaki ZX7R, but what I went to look at in the dealers was a Blackbird, and they're still a good option so it still may happen some day mate!
This looks like it's going to be such a fun bike to ride.
Thanks Colin, im aiming at making it a bit of a Hooligan tool.!
@@Moonfleet41 Suzuki MT-13? Haha
@@feta I like that!
Looks good mate 👍 if in doubt give Cable Tech in bootle a call. Ive just got a set made for a zxr400 import as the 30 year old oe ones have had it 👍 even made them an inch longer for better routing
Thanks buddy.. im going to make them myself, it's something ive wanted ot do for a long time..(spent a lot of money on cables over the decades), but thanks for the headsup, it's a great solution if mine don't work out.
Welcome back to the project Del! Strong start! Didn't expect anything less from you ;-)
Cheers!
Thank you so much Abouzar, great to hear from you Sit.. have wonderful weekend.. Del.
loving the work delboy - i often learn things i didn't even know i wanbted to learn from you - 'gonna shorten the bolts' (ok - i know how to do that) 'and lenghten the thread' (WHAT? YOU CAN DO THAT??) :D
ha ha yes mate, easy to cut a little more thread on a bolt so the nut doesn't bottom out.. glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Hiya team DBG - great video and nice to see you back on the 'Busa. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this! Take it easy... ride safe.
Hi John, great to hear from you, it's always fun to embark on a new project... still hunting for a newer bike for a second project to run along with it... not so easy in the current market, but got a few ideas!
Glad you're back and looking well..Got those bars and I love them..One word on the Busa , Awesome 👌
🤙 Thanks mate.. im liking the look already.. !
Glad to see you back Del, regarding the choke cable... You do realise that it's only a fast idle device and doesn't enrich the mixture in any way and therefore not really necessary.
Yes i knew that Tony.. the term 'Choke" has simple become a moniker these days rather than a functional name.! Showing me age mate.!
Those bar mounts way too weak Delboy for a busa. The oem was a 4 bolt plate on triple clamp. To much geforce for them.. Good video 😊
Next video, you'll see the solution.
Good to see you back bud. Hope all is well. Looks better with the new bar. 👍
Thanks buddy👍 Really appreciate your kind words, it's great to be back in the garage swingin wrenches again..
Gooday bud,,,well ya looking well,and its good to see ya back into it.👍
Regards from Down under
Thanks Mark, good to hear form you mate... feeling much better after 2 months rest and all the right meds.. just building it up day by day..
Fantastic, Del, you're back in the shed.
And as your caption at the start correctly states: It's all about the first step. All the best for climbing that ladder from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Thanks for that Günter, i appreciate your kind words.. one day at a time.
@@Moonfleet41 Jep, Del, one day at a time. We heard that decades ago. But did you believe your old man?
...only respect for You.
Jobs done®
Bars are the way to go I hate clip on break my back
Great to see you back mate looking so well.Just remember and take things nice and easy.Pass on a huge hug to Penny for taking such good care of you.
Thank you Joe, i will.. We made the Harley Suspension video last week, so this is week two, and feeling really great to be back on the spanners. and Penny say's thank you too.
(P) There’s something about fat bars - gotta leave em! I bet your glad to be back on the spanner’s 😎
Thanks buddy.. made the Harley suspension video last week, so second week back now, and feels great to be back at it.
Good to see you back delboy, just picked up a low km Gen1 busa also... What a machine...
Congratulations mate, and enjoy your bike, and thank you for your support!
Did the same with my bike easy to make and relocate ..
Hi Del
Just wondering if I could do the same with my 1998 zx9r.
Just got the bike and love it ,I’m a young 60 year old and it’s my first sports bike 😀
Regards
Dave from Scotland
Hi Dave, you can do a flat bar conversion on pretty much any of the old sportsbikes, you may need to trim the fairing back a little with a Dremel tool to get the full sweep of the bars and so nothing hits, and of course, you always need to pay attention to cable and wiring length so don't go too wide! ... enjoy your bike mate.
@@Moonfleet41
Thanks for the info Del ,I’ll look into doing that .
Cheers
Dave
Hi Del so happy 2 see u back .All the best
You’re looking good there, Mate. I hope your journey back to full health makes you stronger than you were before. Loved seeing you wrenching again… I’m sure you felt great doing it again. Oh, and the bars look great, too. 😎
🏍👍🏍
Thank you Gary, i feel a lot better noe, 6 weeks in and settling in to the heap of meds every day.. as long as i rest between days im ok, just killed off my old stamina, but im sure it'll come back down the line.. Have a great week both and keep safe.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 Yep I’m not surprised the meds are slowing you down a bit. I suspect that’s all in the grand design. Now more important than ever, given the new virus variant spreading, is to limit your exposure. Seems the vax is no guarantee. I’m doing likewise but for a different ailment. I’m sure “this too shall pass” as my dear mom used to say. Big hug to Penny. Get well. People care about you. 😎
I'm wondering if I can swap handlebars on my FJ12 and use conventional ones instead with proper clamps.
I did this before on my old sv650 by marking out and drilling the yoke.
I've done the very same myself on other bikes!
@@Moonfleet41 I wonder if a bandit 12 yoke would work instead.
Hi Del great to see the old Del back mate looking good and with a smile great things to come xx to penny
Thansk Dean, it's good to be back in the swing of things, feels like getting back to normal... PP says 'Hi x'
Welcome back mate,⚙️🔩🔧👍
Looks great 👍
Glad your getting your strength back
Thank Ely, getting back to normal a bit more every day..
Well done mate. Lost my Mum to sepsis. Glad you beat the ba*******
Very sorry to hear that mate, sending you our very best wishes at this sad time. Thank you for your kind words, it's appreciated.
Oh that feeling when you first sit on the bike with nothing but the raw naked new bars. 😌 I’d love to see you custom make the throttle cables from a kit. I recently tried using a kit I got from Wemoto, but didn’t have success with creating a solid connection to the lug. I’ve got a better flux and will try again though. Good to see you back doing what you love. 👍🏼
Thanks Mark.. that's exactly what ive got.. a Wemoto universal kit.. and ill be doing all three cables for next Friday's video buddy.. Hope it helps you out..
@@Moonfleet41 legend, thanks mate. I saw many videos on RUclips with conflicting advice about what needs to be heated and why. I also don’t believe I had the best flux. I was using plumbers flux but have now acquired better 801 flux so am keen to give it another go.
Ahh Ninja dye cutter 😉
Thx! Great help for me!
Brilliant once again Del !
Great to see you feeling better.
Hi Del just caught up and great to see you getting back to yourself. Couldn't find Part 1 to your new Busa Project to see what you are upto?!
It's the first video in the play list mate, and also on the third row down in "videos"..!
@@Moonfleet41 👍
Lovely to see the well wishers. Looking forward to seeing you fit the extended cables for the straight bar. Thanks :)
Thanks Tony, it seems that maybe many are thinking this is the first video back.. but i did the Harley shocks last week, so been back a week now, and really happy to be back in the garage. Brake and clutch hoses first, then i can deal with the cables.
Very enjoyable and fantastic to see you back ,you look great
Thank you kindly Andy, good to be back in the garage and making videos..
Really good to see you back and smiling again . Take it easy fella 👍
Thank you, I will mate.
Good to see you back in the garage. Take care of yourself.
Thanks mate, great to be back in business..!
Hi mate good to see you fit and well just letting you know the Busa doesn't have a choke it's fuel injected it's called a fast idle lever 👍
That's me corrected, and of course you're right, it was just a turn of phrase, it's the little cable on the left lol
@@Moonfleet41 hay it's cool I got well slagged off for the same mistake lol 😂
That bike is a beast..Your looking healthy btw ..Cheers
Thanks mate.. Beast indeed, can't wait to get out to play on this one..
You look great Del and loving the Busa conversion. Good to have you back!
Cheers Ray, it's great to be back in the garage..
Great to see you back on the job Del
Nick
Australia
Thanks Nick.. it's great to be back in the garage mate..
Just reroute the throttle cables...iv built many a fighter including a couple of busa's and always just rerouted them...
Thanks mate, yeah, the throttle cables are pretty close, but the choke cable is miles away, and i really don't want them outside the fork leg, its just looks a bit untidy to me, i like them clipped into the frame, the biggest challenge for this looks to be losing all the wiring harness under the tank.. that's gonna be a bun fight, ill take any tips on that..?
@@Moonfleet41 ya all the wiring fits under the tank .and just lenghten which one's you need to...if you want to get rid of the busa clock then you can wire in gsxr1000k1 k2 but you'll need the k1 guage harness too...and splice it in...they look way better..but you'll have to put in an aftermarket fuel gauge...50 quid from koso...and wires straight in...gsxr wont work...
@@framurray5282 Thanks mate, it's reassuring to know that all that fits under the tank, but I imagine it means unwrapping it to some degree to make it more flexible, then tucking it all in where I can... was actually thinking of running no clocks at all, and maybe no lights either... real bare bones, just a day time scratcher!... But if the worst come to it, I actually quite like the clock pod and it wouldn't take much to create a mount for it and a couple of headlights, we'll see when I get to that point! Thanks for your input mate, really appreciate it.
Hi D&P, good to see you back at it again. Looking forward to watching this build. Take it slow and easy though both of you. Take care peeps.
Thanks Ray.👍 How are you mate, long time no see, we hope you're well and keeping safe.. and thanks for your kind words mate, it;s great to be back.
@@Moonfleet41 had a very difficult last 2 and a half years both me and the misses. I can really appreciate your situation and all the best to you both. Stay positive and busy and it will help with recovery.
@@raytokens2291 Sorry to hear that Ray, it's been a ridiculous couple of years for all of us, when we have other things on top of the pandemic, it just compounds it aye... good speed and keep safe mate, cheers from us both.
Great to see yon back on the tools Del. I went to Carrot Cycles for custom length control cables for a recent project. The guys are super helpful and there pricing and quality are brilliant. Wemoto were unfortunately no help when it came to control cables
Thanks Jason, that's a great tip.! i have a cunning plan to make them myself from a universal kit, but it it doesn't work out, or they're a bit flimsy, then ill give Carrot a call for sure..!
@@Moonfleet41 tried them 😢😢 used the slinky glide universal kits. Tried crimping soldering the lot. No matter what i did i just could not get them to hold at all. But hopefully you have better results. All the best with it.
@@OuterLaneTrain Thanks mate, that's interesting, I see the little crimps in the kit and it is quite a hefty spring on the throttle bodies, so if it doesn't work out, I may just buy some custom made ones, there seems to be a few options... I guess even B-King cables would work!
Bring on day 3 😁✊✌
Great job my friend!!!!!...you,re the best!!
Thank you for your kind words..
Welcome back 👍
welcome back!!
Welcome back
welcome back Del, glad to hear your feeling better.
Thanks mate, it's great to be back.
Try vernhill cables i used them on my streetfighter fzr 1070cc
Thanks mate... i have a plan now, gonna make them myself..! should be fun, but if they don't work out, ill give them a look mate.. many thanks..
Yeah that's what i did lol i got the 888 cable kit and made them to fit 👍
Great stuff
Venhill are good for custom cables 👍
Thanks Lewis, so im hearing, im gonna try to make them myself, the kind of thing we used to do years ago.. if if doesn;t worj out, then i have a few recommendations.. thanks buddy.
Nice to see you back in the garage and looking well
Thanks mate 👍, feeling better every day.
Blimey, spoiled for choice or what? Back in the day it was either Vincent flats, cheap ace bars or a ridiculous set of (badly clamped) - 'hit the brakes & see your dentist' - apehangers . . . such fun.
I'd be tempted to give the new Delrin bobbins a slice of bicycle inner tube to bite down on, it can help with high freq. vibes etc. & if they're tight enough to roll onto the plastic with your fingers, it'll look absolutely disgusting on camera.
Have fun, pace yourself & make sure the campaign for spotty nurses has plenty of quality chocolate rolling in : ) xx
Good to see you back, you're looking well.
Thank you Tim, it's great to be back mate!
Welcome back !!!!! Goooooood to see you again :)
Thank you Pawel, good to hear form you too,.
Gotta love it. Del see's an aftermarket part and say's " Nice but I'll make it better " lol, the funny thing is he always does. Making your own riser bushings, this should be cool. i'd be interested to know what kind of plastic you're going to use, which I'm sure you'll explain, polyurethane maybe? Great to see you back Del, RUclips was getting stale. 🍻
Thank Sully, you're so kind mate.. the videos should be ready by tomorrow afternoon, and i think you'll like the solution... Have a great weekend mate and take care.. Del.
Great to see you back
Great vid. 👍
for the choke a solder cable kit will do the job
Gonna make all of them..!
I LOVE your movies, Dell.
Thank you Cédric .
Nice one..👍 Hungry for the next one..now..😀
Part #4 will be up later today. !
GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK PAL LOOK AFTER YERSELF.
Thanks Paul.. will do mate.. i appreciate your kind words.
What? You have a plate form Karnataka?
Yes, many friends and viewers from beautiful India !
Looks really comfy!
Good to see you back on the tools Del. 👍
Say hi to Pen.
