Lots of god/Christianity in recent videos - is that because of the recent health scare? Not really seen religious stuff in your videos before. Glad to see you seem to be doing well 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Perhaps sharing a few sentiments maybe Tommy, but i have always had faith my friend, and brushing with mortality can focus your resolve for sure. Thank you for your feedback, im really glad you're enjoying the videos... have a great weekend mate... Del.

Hiya Del mike here mate can you recommend a torque Wrench or what size that i can go out and buy to use on my motorcycle pls cheers all the best mike ;-)

[@Moonfleet41]

Here you go Mike.. this is the one i use, i has the widest range ive seen for a 3/8" drive wrench, perfect for all but the biggest fasteners like axle nuts, and you should be using a 1/2" drive for those anyway... this one is best for all the other general jobs you'll do... from 7Nm to 112Nm.. Perfect for a bike, calibrated and certified too . www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/torque-wrench-micrometer-style-3-8-quot-sq-drive-7-112nm-5-83lb-ft-calibrated-119594?search=STW1011&description=true

[@MrBuyerman]

Nice start, glad to see you back at it...Actual question, with you only welding the brackets at the sides is there a possibility of water going down between the plate and the top edge of the brackets, or is the weld tight enough to make a watertight join on the top edge?

[@Moonfleet41]

It's not necessary to weld them all the way round just for that, they way more then strong enough already, and a layer of tough paint on the inside will seal it all.

[@MrBuyerman]

@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for the info. 😊

I have been following this wee channel for 3-4 years now, and I can affirm that it's not a great idea to "comment" on Dels work until the enlarged lady sings!!! Nice one Del.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, im really happy with that and will build the rest of the front around it.!

Hey, I just heard about this, don't forget to turn on the new 'SUPER THANKS'! It's in your monetization settings. Now you owe me a beer LOL

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for that heads up.. sadly it seems that Super Thanks facility is not available to me in my location yet, but it is coming, and ill switch it on as soon as i can.. Thanks again for that information.. it'll really help when it comes online for us here.

[@DrRockter5150]

I gotta tell ya... I love the aerial shot from the rafters! It has got to be such a blessing to have all that room for a workspace now, in comparison to the cramped garage you were in when I started watching the channel way back when. Very cool idea for the offset light. Most people take the easy path and just center it up. Not you! Thinking outside the box! Keep up the fantastic work, and it's so good to see ya up and getting back in the swing of things. Give Miss Penny a big hug from both me and Pam!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much Brother, it is really cool to have a lot of space, im sure ill grow into it and fill it with 'stuff' over the years, but it's sure better than a cramped single garage, and before that even working out in the open. Glad you're enjoying the build, it has to be fun to be worth it right?.. so im enjoying the process and that's just as important. Take care and have a wonderful weekend both of you.. keep safe. D&Px

its time you got a plasma cutter , quicker and a lot less dust for you to breath in

[@TheKungFuCrocodile]

99% of us spend ages trying to lighten our bikes, Del whips out aa massive sheet of steel to whack on the front. Love it! Keep up the good work Del and to your health🥃

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Nick.. i did consider the weight of the steel...but then remembered the 20+Kg of fairing i took off the bike to start with, plus another 7kg by loosing the huge twin exhaust system... so i have a bit in credit..lol

[@gerard4444]

good start.. cool idea

[@nicholasbishop3300]

Great job Del Like the ideas that you've got planned to finish off the front end Nick Australia

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Nick, much appreciate mate.

[@jonelvidge9191]

Why did you use stainless steel sheet, would aluminium sheet have been lighter and easier to work with thus not affecting steering forces- im curious

[@Moonfleet41]

Its mild steel not stainless, i need to weld it, and don't have access to alluminium welding facilities !

[@stevehopkinson4871]

Dell way don’t you invest in a plasma cutter easily do a job better than disc grinding and I don’t have one just a thought mate good vid

[@Moonfleet41]

Wish i had one Steve.. along with a TIG welder, tube bender, pipe notcher, and lots of other tools.. they're all on the wish list mate.. and FWIW, you still have to use a grinder on the cut plasma edges, it leaves them like they've been hacked out with an axe..!

Del, you're a modern day madman, an evil genius with a huge heart and you busted out my favorite line, that alone was worth the price of admission. I don't understand the hater's, especially with all the work that'll go just into that one piece, hours, days but a vision brought to life by your two hands. Builder's like Indian Larry, Russell Mitchell, Jesse James and Billy Lane, just to name a few would look at Del's work and think it was bad ass. Why? Because they appreciate what it takes, it's a part of you, an extension of who you are and most of all aren't a bunch of C**t's! Pardon my language Penny🍻

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Sully, thank you so much for those kind and sage words my friend, and what a great honour to be even mentined in the same sentence as such legendary names, I followed all of them and their incredible work, along with Mat Hotch and Rick Petco, all incredible people and visionaries in the motorcycle world... what has to also be admired is their incredible ability as businessmen to bring something that is a simple lifestyle luxury and make it a millionaire business... sadly there will always be haters in this life, jealous and unhappy people who use hate as a coping mechanism, in some ways they are to be pitied. For the rest of us, life is an adventurous road of exciting discoveries and the more we can feed in to it, the more we can enjoy! Take care and keep safe my friend, and as always stay in touch, D&Px
