Bloody great job delboy!! not only am i impressed by the bike itself but more by the fact you put so much time and effort into it and the finished product looks well worth it!!! well done delboy cup of tea on me 👍🏼

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much my friend, thats very kind of you.. Glad you have enjoyed the videos..

[@kwakerjack1]

Brilliant the way you improvised to make that side stand bolt.

[@alanpaterson5395]

What an amazing transformation looks great I really enjoyed just watching the bolt get made. Love your videos so professional, as good as any program on car/bike restoration on the telly

[@Moonfleet41]

My word, that is extremely kind of you mate, im honoured that you think so..! Thank you.

[@ekulegnarts]

Great stuff Del. Looks BEAST! Watching this build has been inspirational, When she's painted going to look absolutely phenomenal. This build has been extremely educational it's nice to see a build from a 'Real perspective' that average Joe's like me can appreciate!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Luke, thats very kind mate... no expert, just having fun building my bike, and learning lots of new things along the way...

[@jltrack]

A dark midnight blue and subtle white accents would suit the bikes lines much better. It’s a futuristic looking bike. Good job.

[@daved4094]

Looking great Del, very impressed with your idea of a lathe never knew I had one in my garage.

[@Moonfleet41]

haha, you'd be amazed what you've got when someone just shows you lol

[@daved4094]

Very true Del thanks, keep up the good work.

[@renegade1987]

very impressed with you making that bolt lol - I immediately thought "didn't know he had a lathe" and you dont but still got the job done - awesome...

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Brother, "use what you have", giddur done..lol !

[@Adikxx]

Looks absolutely spectacular! Can't wait to see the finished bike on the road!

[@TheNanoArcher]

I absolutely love the look of this. Especially the front fender. Looks amazing. Great fab job!

[@eaglestrikes1]

Oh my goodness. The bike looks superb simply superb. Congratulations Del, you have created something very special. The bolt making was fantastic a true credit.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, thats very kind of you... "use what you have" aye..!

[@splodge5714]

Holey Moley, Silver dream machine is looking good. Enjoyed the fabrication of that Bolt!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Splodge.. best British biker movie ever aye..! (after Freebird of course)!

[@thegrumpybiker3563]

Very impressed. The words that came to me when I saw the bike was looks like an "Alien Bike" something that could be in the film. Love it!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, thats very kind..

[@Scooterboy_1970]

Love it. Very alien looking. You need to have an alien inspired paint job done on it.

[@brandywell44]

Looking really good. The mudguard I would leave as is, it's just right in this colour. Colour will make a big difference to how things like mudguards look anyway in the final finish.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for that alternative view, that really helps more than you know.. you're right about colour i think, i have been giving some serious thought to the colour options as im drawing close to that job.. and its not as easy to gert it right as you think... i want to make a factory look as if the bike was some limited edition special lol.. maybe a plain single colour and some factory decals..? thanks again fr the feedback, it really helps.. Del.

[@Addy29plus5]

Good to learn, trial and error. I’m not a fan of most customs but then again I can do no better. So well done 👍

[@rebel_ltz]

Now I think a big round headlight would fit the bike better. I'd also chop the front of the front fender to the first hole. Awesome job!

[@danparsonage3884]

I'm doing a restoration on a CBR600F. I'm also taking a lot of knowledge from this build and you in general. Great channel, love it

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, good luck with your build!

[@erdemumit7227]

Great job man! I would go with a rounded down tail fairing like the bmw rr9t though but that's my taste! Also I think at least a single hole at the side of the tail would complete the "holyness" :P of the bike. Anyway been a fan for about 2 years now and been a DIY mech as a sportster owner because of you. Thanks for all the effort.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Erdem, and its great to hear that you do you're own work on the Sportster.. thank you for the kind support, and always drop us a line if you need a hand or a tip.. take care.. Del.

[@tntcyclespdx640]

Holly smokes, its looking gooood! Im glad you put the before pic up as after all this time I forgot it was a Ninja, what a transformation, Well done.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, I only did it because a couple of newly joined viewers actually asked what the bike was, which I took as a great compliment lol

[@MrAlmar07]

Nice one Del, say it felt brilliant getting it outside in the daylight. Looks great from all angles & is a credit to you as it stands right now. Gotta say I'm thinking the same about the front Mudguard. Maybe slightly shorter & slendererer!! Ha. Keep the spitfire ports though!! Awrabest from all the clan. L&H. 😉❤🤘

[@Moonfleet41]

Cheers buddy, it's been a great learning curve and still got a little way to go, I'll have to think of another build after this one is done, otherwise I won't know what to do with myself! Have a great weekend all, love to the family, Hi as well to Archie! D&Px

[@dickdick999]

It looks marvellous. Your side stand job was a peach. Regards to you both.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Richard, thanks so much for your kind words of support, have a great week mate.

[@MrG00ny65]

Looking good . I do think the front mudguard and bellypan seem a bit big though, compared to that super tail piece which I think is the star of the show. Looks gorgeous. Nice work with the bolt.

[@leejohnson3319]

That bolt has blew my mind 👌

[@mason448]

Impressive for one man in his garage, inspirational mate 👍

[@spudlet366]

Had a few months away from the channel del. Glad to see your progressive and the bike is looking awesome. Unfortunately sold my bikes now 😭

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Benjamin, welcome back mate, and sorry to hear you had to sell your bikes, hope all is well?? Keep in touch mate, all the best, D&Px

[@spudlet366]

Moonfleet41 3 broken arms and a hopeful career in the raf meant they've gone. Bought a Volvo to keep me safe 🙄

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

Now that was fantastic, talk about patients and just great skill. That is awesome how you made that special bolt, again like always great videos.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks so much buddy.. i wish i had a Lathe fo that kind of thing which is why im saving up for one.. but for now, "use what you have" aye... thanks again and have a great weekend.. del .

[@christophershirley1303]

[P] Looking great with that new tail buddy. The front fender and even the belly pan suited the previous tail perfectly, but now the smaller lighter tail is on, I reckon your idea of trimming down the front mudguard is a good one. Maybe look at making the belly pan look a little more lightweight too if you can. Top job...very jealous!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank Chris, you,re too kind mate.. its been useful to bolt it all on for a look round, as you can see, the front mudguard does need a little trim, but not too much as i intend to add some bodywork to the back yet, and that should balance out the visual weight.. i like the belly pan so much as it is, its cool that it is recognisable as a tank, and i wouldn't want to lose that.! so lets see how it looks once the muddy is trimmed and the back hugger is on..! take care mate and have a great weekend.... D&Px

[@bobgwinn5091]

cool... love the tires... what an awesome machine... all yours one of a kind built for you

[@flannelmeister]

Looking great there! Hmm. With the frenched holes in the front mudguard and belly pan, the theme kinda needs to continue into the tail? Perhaps when you make the under tray there could be a "lip" each side, cut to follow the line of the tail with matching holes in it? In other words, making the under tray a sort of upside down squared off "U" shape in section if you get what I mean. Perhaps if you did that, the front mudguard might look ok as is instead of cutting it down?

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Mark.. all good ideas buddy.. the bike will go on the road as soon as i can get all the little jobs done.. then things like that can form short projects later on whilst the bike in in use... thanks for your input buddy.. have a great weekend.. Del.

[@robinguitar]

Agree about the front mudguard, but it's a beast! Love it.

[@Hesoos]

Looks fantastic, Del... Really loving this series. Subscriber for many years, first comment. It's a long story, but I actually became a mechanic partially thanks to you. 2 years in the trade now, making decent money, enjoying playing with my hands everyday. Cheers! I agree with you on the front mudguard. I also have some sort of hang up with the headlight cowl. It looks really good, but it almost feels too easy to see that it's just a tank turned upright. Maybe that's okay! A revealing nod to what you've done with the rest of the bodywork. But the rest looks so crafted, designed, accentuated, unique. Maybe adding a few more bends and curves, scoops and shapes to the cowl? Or maybe it's fine as is... Just a thought. Happy wrenching. :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, how cool to hear you got in to the trade, and hope you're enjoying your new career! Remember never get too busy being a technician that you forget to be a mechanic, here's always an easy solution round things if you think sideways, thanks for your kind words on the bike, at the moment all the bodywork is blank and grey, but the paint will make all the difference, stick with it buddy, I'll get there !

[@garrymuir1442]

Nicely done, that bolt, without a lathe.

[@warrengray610]

Hi Del and Penny hope you are well, Yeah had a few days to think about it and I stand by what I said but just trimming and sliming that belly pan down a bit, would I reckon look better but hey it's sounding eager and rearing for a good run, please don't lose your licence on it! Meaning choose your moments Love and respect Warren

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Warren, thanks buddy, desperately trying to get it finished and pledged to do that before the end of the summer, bit it's already August and I still seem to be finding jobs... need to stop the world for a bit lol More build on Saturday video buddy, and filmed a day already, and then filming again on Friday... hope you enjoy, D&Px

[@TheMetalmechanic]

Alright, Making that shanked bolt was impressive

[@graememccullough8922]

Love the alternative lathe skills mate! Looking good.

[@lkneepkens53]

Very nice clean job!

[@tonywaterhouse5291]

Should have waited till the end I agree with your comment on the front 'fender'

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, it is a bit visually heavy aye.. thank buddy.. hope you;re having a good weekend..

[@michaelsmith920]

That is a very ugly motor cycle but I love watching your work - I learn a lot.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, streetfighters are meant to be ugly so that's a fine compliment indeed !

[@michaelray9727]

Under tray needs to change now!! Bloody nice looking bike though.

[@ukko2k]

Hi Del/Penny - well well well - what can I say.... f*****g awesome. Agree with the front guard but the one thing that i kept looking at, and i know you have plans for this was the exhaust. It just kept drawing my attention away from the rest of the bike, problem been i couldn't make my mind up if i liked/disliked it. Anyway bang on build so far fella, sweet lines, doesn't look over aggressive ( ie loads of right angles and pitching up body work) but already you can see its going to have a "wow" factor. Love it mate. Have a good'n - have fun keep safe - cheers Nige

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Nige... thanks for your kind words buddy, it has been a great journey so far, and ive learned a lot along the way (which was kind of the point of the project).. The exhaust is the least to worry about at the moment, it works, and thats fine.. i just want to get all the jobs knocked off and get the bike on the road, i still have the under tray to build and a hugger too.. that will add some visual weight to the back to balance out the front, so the mudguard only need trim at best.... stick with it buddy ill get there in the end.. Have a great weekend mate.. Del.

[@funkycowie]

I agree the front end does look too heavy however it matches the undertray in heaviness so you either add something to the swing arm, possibly spray to silver and add a rear mud guard, or remove some of the undertray and the mudguard.

[@marcorleptique]

Hello Del ! En français on dit ( des doigts en or ) amazing job with the bolt and the rest of the Bike of course.

[@rikkilambert866]

really coming together now mate! looking good, and agree with you on the font mudgaurd! 💪👌👍

[@nicliddell2511]

Just as my own personal opinion only to help and not to harm. but maybe half the number of holes,or maybe a slightly different shape? and to smooth them out a bit too. and think mudguard could lose 2" back and front. but it is looking beautiful, think the back is better looking than 90% of bikes out there. keep it up man come so far cant slow down now !

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, you're very kind, that is a compliment indeed! Had to bolt it together to stand back and take a look, not to unhappy with it myself... I agree on the mud guard, it's a little too big, but room for improvement always !

[@paulharast1958]

Awesome job as always. she looks so beautiful and sounds fantastic music to my ears when you started her up. As a part-time job he should make parts and sell them 🤔 awesome idea with the bolt for the Jiffy stand ..... did you take motorcycle out for a little spin for you put back in the garage? Penny and You have a lovely weekend and a week ahead ride safe God bless

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Paul, lovely to hear from you, hope you're having a good weekend... I didn't go for a spin I can assure you, so many issues not safe yet, even the clutch needs bleeding so just a cheeky roll back in the garage under it's own steam and also to free up the clutch plates that probably haven't been apart for a while... have a great weekend, ride safe, D&Px

[@Moonfleet41]

Just on the parts Paul I've been saving like crazy with all our generous Patron support to try and get a lathe, and once I get there, which should be soon, then will be making some parts for friends, Patrons and those who really need it... not for sale, but more to help out fellow bikers in need... as many people have done for me over the years when I've needed something...!

[@robtempleman1139]

Great build!

[@QBTO]

Amazing looking bike mate !

[@christopherdevries1969]

Thanks for taking it outside, the bike looks smashing!! 👍 The fender can use some trimming, to bulky and I'm missing a tire hugger in the same style. But man, what a great job!!!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks so much Chris.. i agree entirely.. the back end needs a little more to balance out the look..and that front mudguard is too heavy now...

[@christopherdevries1969]

Moonfleet41 Maybe balance out the back first before cutting up the fender and see what she looks like than. I bet it will make the difference you need in the overall look 👍👍👍.

[@martinfleming7001]

I have enjoyed watching your videos and you are very talented but that bike looks shit. It was a beautiful 7R!

[@Moonfleet41]

"Looks Shit", Do you not like custom bikes then Martin?.. i agree that the 7R was a good looking bike, thats why i chose it for a donor... but all fighter style bikes are butch and a bit ugly.. thats the point..! take care buddy, and thanks for your feedback.. primarily this bike was to learn a lot of new things form and enjoy the journey...

[@al-6988]

Salut l ami Encore du super boulot. Modifier une vis avec une perceuse et disqueuse bravo. J espere que le choix de la peinture sera bonne.ca serai dommage de gacher tout ce jolie boulot. A bientôt l ami

[@Moonfleet41]

Merci pour vos mots très gentils mon ami, je serai prudent avec la couleur, peut-être je vais utiliser le vert d'usine, et utiliser des décalques d'usine afin qu'il ressemble à un vélo personnalisé d'usine appropriée ?, Merci encore pour oyur soutien aimable. Del.

[@warrengray610]

Hi Del and Penny, Breathtaking quality with the build view, I reckon better to be there in the flesh, you have worked so hard I almost don't want to say but the belly pan is a bit heavy, looks strong enough to withstand the end of the world, but I reckon the rest of the machine style is lighter and stealthy Mud guard too could do with a revision! As in my humble opinion those pieces both look a bit heavy, I could not do any better but I reckon you are a perfectionist and I thought I'd point to it. Not far to go. Love and respect Warren Like I have said, you have worked extremely hard so this is no snipe, The exhaust project you rescheduled can wait but I reckon that will enhance the stance

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Warren.. thanks buddy.. i think you're right.. the front mudguard is just plain too long.. but im not so sure it needs that much taken off, just brought into proportion with the rest.. i do love the belly pan, and the issue with cutting it much more is that it will no longer look like the fuel tank that it is. and i wanted that to show and be a feature.. i think a little extra furniture on the BACK end, ,aye serve to balance things out... i do see your point.. but she still needs a huger at the back.. i fancy mounting the plate on that 'German Stylee" rather than on the tail, so that extra visual weight may help balance out the belly pan.. im really lothe to cut that much more, same as the nose cone, i wanted that heavy, brooding front end look..muscular and beefy like Butch the Dog from Tom&Jerry..lol

[@warrengray610]

Moonfleet41 Hi Del, at the end of the day it is always in the eye of the beholder, so I bow gracefully to thee, I acknowledge the Quality of your art and withdraw the earlier hastily uttered opinion shared, this due to the proposed changes, cha cha change's ( sorry my friend, I could not resist) Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I withdraw my early opinion and reserve future judgement until (with your leave) I see the completed piece! Love and respect Warren

[@Moonfleet41]

No trouble brother, you're absolutely right, eye of the beholder and all that, think Honda have been trying to years to build bikes everybody loves, and all they've managed to achieve is the blandest brand on the market... am dealing with the extra work I've gotta do on the tail, and the additional furniture that that needs, and then once that's added it's visual weight to the rear, I can judge the front in comparison and trim as needed... !

[@warrengray610]

Moonfleet41 Dell that's all cool and the gang! I have had Honda's and the engineering is undeniably solid ( mostly!) But I seem to have settled, with Kawasaki, saying that though I did own one of the old style Yamaha Fazer 600 that was pretty nifty in every way! if I had my way I'll probably have an MV Agusta F4, Hey I can dream, I just Saw 1 in the window of a shop in Wandsworth Town and fell in love with it mind you it was in a more affluent part of town, but hey there were no signs up preventing me from dreaming drooling in the window and having a Wayne's World moment, it shall be mine it will be! Your build is quite something! But if you can forgive me for my hasty comments ,I will look forward to your space time continum! With your leave, I must away any study the much maligned subject of AC motors! Kind regards Warren

[@charliefarlie6469]

Hey Del , and of course Penny, do what you feel is right with the front mudguard mate but please reconsider your thoughts on the under seat exhaust , can’t for the life of me see why you want to fundamentally change the look of what is already a very distinct and good looking bike for something that has already been done and in all honesty is probably gonna look worse than the challenge it’s about to present you with . That shorty pipe sounds great and treated to a coat of black paint will blend in with the swing arm and frame an absolute treat . Why not Give it the rest of the summer and revisit it later if your not happy with it rather than doing all that extra work now . Btw, that sidestand bolt was a stroke of genius . C

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Charlie.. thank you so much for that cool feedback, i agree, the underseat exhaust not kinda looks like it would make the back end heavier both physically and in looks.. i still have a bit to do yet, undertray for the seat unit, and a hugger for the back wheel, i was thinking maybe the German fighter style wrap around ones with the number plate mounted on it to keep the tail totally naked..? but its all coming together, trimming the front mudguard is next, i dont think it needs much because the things ill add to the back will balance it out a bit too... Take care and have a great weekend.. all te best, ,D&Px

[@charliefarlie6469]

❤️

[@paulgregory39]

Looked better before you did anything to it.

[@Moonfleet41]

You prefer standard bikes then buddy..?

[@paulgregory39]

Moonfleet41 yes I preferred the bike as It was, but I've enjoyed watching you do the bike and I can see a lot of work has gone into it.

[@worzelgummidge3617]

Yuk standard just blends in. It's ace Del

[@Moonfleet41]

paulgregory39, I cannot deny that the ZX-7R is a beautiful bike.. Thanks for your kind words mate..

[@TheHirade]

That bike looks absolutely great !!!

[@veeken777]

On the back wheel son... Especially by the GATSOs

[@HalfdeadRider]

Someone could not stop themselves taking it for a spin, I would do that too :)

[@Moonfleet41]

No, sadly it was just up on the lift from outside.. got a few more things to do before im happy to ride it..lol!

[@kyndrydspyryt3867]

Exactly what I was going to say. You second guessed me. Front muddy defo needs cutting down on both ends. Custom streetfighter deserves a sexy small one. Looking good though Del 👌👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy.. i thought most people would agree.. the belly pan and nose cone give it a heavy and 'full' look, so i dont want to ake too much off the mudguard and then throw that balance out and end up cutting more and more off everything until im lost... ill do small cuts and try to just blend it in.... wish me luck..lol

[@stevenesq]

That bike is bad ass del fantastic work just needs a splash of colour (im thinking orange ) . if you and penny do a meet up again bring the bike along and im there.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Steven.. i have been thinking about colour, it will be blown over in one colour for now once its all on the road.. and i do like the concept of a factory look.. a bike that doesn't immediately look like a custom bike.. maybe good old 'Team Green" with factory badges and decals aye..lol!!!! lots to think about, and i do like the Orange idea.. they made the first gen Z1000's in that colour back on the early naughties..!?

[@anssiw737]

Hi! i was thinking of that frontguard being big, glad you thouhgt the same thing. :) And maybe that headlight needs same shapes as the tank and tail?! Loving this build!!!

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Hi, bike looks great Del !!! Yes maybe a bit shorter from both side will look lighter but bike and new bolt are lovely, thanks. Gus

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Gus, lovely to hear from you mate, have a great weekend!

[@slottaway]

Looks da nuts ! Front mudguard and possibly the undertray could do with maybe going on a diet and a short back and sides ? Deffo evolving and moving in the right direction....Top job sir !

[@6.7Rollin]

Like the looks, i think the nose cone just doesnt fit Quite right. Good idea with shortening fender

[@cardoode]

I dont think the front mudguard is large. The proportions you have developed are similar to the Brutale 800. Makes the front wheel very prominent. Also the size of it compliments the tank belly pan. More space to do the artwork, which to can visually make stuff look larger or smaller.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much Cardude, thats great insight, i hadn't thought of it that way, and what an honour to compare it to a Brutale, Thank you..?

[@cardoode]

You are very welcome! I am not a patreon supporter, my compliments when i really do appreciate your work is the least i can do to keep you going. With the walkaround i could almost visualise the completed machine and that made me very happy.

[@johnparkes5934]

Ah, young sir, youve made my day...well done..

[@DrDante221]

Talent and Genius!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you my friend, you're too kind!

[@colinwood1802]

Looking Fantastic Dell, Well done

[@loddude5706]

That'll be a 'pass' for the side-stand then! . . . Excellent video too, beautifully put together - well done all. (I'd maybe leave the front end alone until the U-shaped 'Delbrook Can' is finally grafted up around her botty? : )

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, good point, you can't uncut a cut.. like yer thinking brother.. !!!

[@davejohnson2051]

Mate...she looks the bollocks...still love the belly pan into the exhaust..very smooth...Amazing job mate

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Dave, thats very kind mate... its been a great journey so far, and still a bit to do.. the Devil truly is in the detail.. but ill get there as soon as i can, then i can go play,..muah ha ha.!

[@laurencegraham9368]

Not my cup of tea however you have done an amazing job here need to go back and watch the hole thing

[@TheSlagwerker]

I think the headlight cowl, mudguard and belly pan are too heavy looking and the design doesn't really the in with the rear end. Just my personal opinion though. Great effort on this build though 👌

[@allenglishknives6823]

That’s a great looking bike 👍🏻

[@ferbbknoskill]

Excelente trabajo, eres un grande

[@S1000RR11]

Turn the bolt round?

[@Moonfleet41]

Turn the bolt round?

[@ronanoboyle8432]

Well done - a beast 😁

[@RGSABloke]

Del, I keep moaning on the 'TMF's' review videos about shite front mudguards. Finally, a manufacturer who produces a 'proper' mudguard. (YUO!!). Disagree about the size, leave it be, i think the proportions are awesome. Kindest regards. A82 Joe.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Joe, great to hear an alternative view, a few people have said leave it alone and make something to balance the back end more... also paint will change the look too... thanks again.. have a good week.. Del.

[@SuperHessu555]

I think I'm a round headlamp fanboy, but the bike dos looks NICE!! good job!

[@gncbyron]

Looks awesome wow!!! Amazing job...I did not join your page until recently and did not see the beginning of the build, Did that bike start out as a Ninja?

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes Byron, its a 1999 Kawasaki ZX7-R.. thanks for your kind words buddy.

[@Peter-qt7oj]

Silver Dream Machine looks mint Del

[@Moonfleet41]

Showin' yer age there buddy... lol thanks and have a great weekend.. Del.

[@Peter-qt7oj]

Thanks I'll try stuck on a beach watching Del boys garage in Negril

[@oxide_fx]

Does look a little bottom heavy and I'm not personally a fan of the headlight, but it's looking like a helluva bike! The exhaust looks too small for it now! Lol.

[@allanmurray647]

looks fucking awsome! good job ma man!!!! only thing that keeps catching my eye is the exhaust... don't know why it don't look quite right to me but over all the exhaust does not look bad just mayabe needs abit more beef to it?

[@Moonfleet41]

The exhaust is temporary Allan, have a lose plan for an underseat exhaust if I can make it happen, if not, this one will get re-vamped next year ! Thanks for watching...

[@allanmurray647]

oh nice! i can imagen that looking very nice!

[@Steve--RR666]

That looks amazing Del Well done !

[@yourpalschrisandcal7182]

Front mudguard needs shortening at the front and I think the bike would look miles better with either a round headlight or a few LED bars

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Chris, yeah a few people have said a round headlight, its not something i ever considered.. but i can see your point.. i wanted to keep the bike looking unique, thats why i ruled out twin headlights.. but maybe something like a headlight from the Gen2 V-max would look bitchin... ill have to see as the budget has already gotten a bit our of control... i like the nose cone for its unique and fresh look... but i want the bike to look the best it can be once its all done... thanks for your feedback mate,, it all helps.. Del.

[@yourpalschrisandcal7182]

Moonfleet41 motodemic make some really good headlights but would need some fabrication to get it to fit? They are quite pricey so might be worth contacting them and seeing what they can do 😉

[@Honzikponzik]

Hmm i liked more the first one ;-) but good work anyway

[@griffspeed]

Is it me.... Or.... Is that motor rattling like a tin of bolts??? Good work though mate... enjoying watching it..

[@colinsharp1314]

Looks and sounds brilliant del well done pal

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Colin, much appreciated buddy.

Looking good Del, not sure on the front mudguard, as you say it does look a bit too heavy whereas the rear end looks a lot lighter in comparison. Loving the build mate, hope you and Penny are both well.

Well brother this is how it goes, you build you step back change something for the better something else looks a bit off now so you change that etc etc until it all falls in place ..THIS IS WHY WE DO IT!! Your skills have come on leaps and bounds since this project started and I for one have learned some great tips along the way from your exploits..so thank you Del once again. I'll say it again , we never stop learning ! Peace and love to you and PP xx ☮❤

[@Moonfleet41]

Ayup brother Springy, I have to agree with that, we learn every day...! This build has been expressly for the purpose of learning new stuff and improving old skills, the fact I've got a bike at the end of it is purely secondary...! Have a great weekend buddy, stay in touch, D&Pxx

loved watching your work, its brilliant. but pls don't tell me that you transform ninja to this creature ....

[@walterterrell677]

"What kind of bike is that?" "Oh, this is a Delboy's kicka$$ custom beast!" Man that is one sick bike. Almost makes me want to get my own street bike..my mod would be a dent in the tank so my belly can fit on it too! HA. Awesome stuff.

Hi Del. The new arse end looks great. Definitely think your right about trimming the front mudguard.

[@Asyrafazman11]

Sick bike i appreciate all your hard work and documenting all the steps u did to achieve this marvelous beast

[@scottsabin2245]

Yes Dell looking good me and my 2 year old son love it and my son love bike he watch's your videos with me every time you put on up

[@mattconverse7754]

I agree on the front fender - too bulky.

[@MrScififan]

Looks amazing - For a while I was considering a lathe until I saw how you made that bolt - never even considered a drill in a vice! - it's possible your fabricated bolt might even be stronger than oem

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate.. "use what you have" aye..? It wont do your drill much good if you do it all the time.. but its ok for getting you out of a pinch.. Not sure of how hard that donor bolt was, so ill go with the factory one when it arrives.. !

Looks great Del, can't wait to see it all painted. Is the plan in the end to keep the bike, sell it, donate, giveaway?

[@onnoverver8773]

Great job! Hat's off to you. Nice to know thing: the blue Dutch license plate you have (ZL-79-32) belonged to a Honda CX500 from 1979

[@Moonfleet41]
