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.

Brilliant to see you back and well mate. Nearly lost my life with Sepsis in February and you’re right; you spend a lot of time thinking about mortality and the loved ones you could leave behind. Keep up the amazing work Del, take it easy and all the best to you and Penny

[@Moonfleet41]

😂😂” 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.

[@Moonfleet41]

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.

[@TheContiGT]

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 🙌🏼

[@Moonfleet41]

Welcome aboard and thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated!

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!

Great job my friend!!!!!...you,re the best!!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you for your kind words..

[@tonysimmonds7814]

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.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes i knew that Tony.. the term 'Choke" has simple become a moniker these days rather than a functional name.! Showing me age mate.!

[@DogDaze66]

love your videos!

[@joelaw367]

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.

Brilliant once again Del !

[@getoffmygrass6974]

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, KZbin was getting stale. 🍻

[@Moonfleet41]

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.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you!

[@UnDerDog-t7v]

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. 👍🏼

[@Moonfleet41]

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..

[@UnDerDog-t7v]

@@Moonfleet41 legend, thanks mate. I saw many videos on KZbin 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.

[@AbouzarKaboudian]

Welcome back to the project Del! Strong start! Didn't expect anything less from you ;-) Cheers!

[@Moonfleet41]

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

[@garya3056]

@@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. 😎

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.

[@Moonfleet41]

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..

[@OuterLaneTrain]

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

[@Moonfleet41]

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..!

[@OuterLaneTrain]

@@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.

[@Moonfleet41]

@@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!
