Delboy's Garage..."MOVING AGAIN"..! (and Triumph Exhaust Polished)

[@garybrown4854]

Top tip : When I polish stainless allen heads ect I put them in a drill and spin them against the rotation of the mop , 1 it's a lot safer because you have more control there is no heat to your fingers and no chance of the mop grabbing the work out of your hand and flinging it across the room 2 it gives a better finish because you can polish for longer ,, the drill chuck doesn't damage the treads either as long as you're sensible with the tightening , hope this helps .

Cheers Jamie, apprecaite your kind words, very happy how it turned out too!

[@nightster6378]

Hi, when putting pipes on like you did while leaving the nuts on the studs, I sometimes put stainless domed nuts on the end of the stud's covering the exposed thread, it can save a lot of heartache in the future for either yourself or an other. On your move good luck with it, at the moment I am building a shed at the rear of my house for some of the bikes I have 23'x13' housing about 12 bikes it will leave my garage as my workshop. I also have a 24'x8' container bunged with projects the next being my 78 CBX I hope I will live long enough to complete. It's a way of life and keeps me penniless but content. Not Penny as in Penny.

[@Moonfleet41]

Good call on the dome nuts, i can order some M8's for that once this is all taken care of, but the studs themselves being stainless it shouldn't be as much of an issue as it was with the factory fittings. I love containers, they make awesome garages, i saw the Jamie Robinson made a great bike barn from two 40ft boxes, placed 8ft apart, cut the opposing sides out, and made a roof between the two from the left over steel.. then just a gate on the front.. the benefits of having land to make all those cool dreams come true, not so easy when you live in an apartment.! And you're right, motorcycle addictions will keep you broke and happy all your life.!

[@ericmowrey6872]

Gorgeous mate. If you have time I got 2 questions; 1.What was the finish on your pipes before polishing. I know they were "satin" so my question is satin with what? for example 600 grit sandpaper? OO steel wool? grinding wheel with scotchbrite? 2. What are those three short mystery bolts in the downpipes? Mine have the same- as I reckon all Hinckley triples do- but why'd the factory put them there? I can't see the purpose beyond hooking up some sort of factory tuning machine...makes no sense. Cheers Del

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Eric, if you caught the project earlier on, the pipes came in and they were just black and corroded, I intended them for the bin, but on closer inspection they were actually chromed over stainless steel, with no under plating such as nickel r brass, just plan chrome on top of stainless, and the chrome corroded horribly, so I wire brushed it all off with Harpic, cleaned up the stainless with a fine Scotch pad disc , so effectively the answer is, it was nothing more than Scotchbrite to get the satin finish!... but if you want to polish dull exhausts, go with 800, then 1200, then polish from there and you'll get a great finish (oh and use some WD40 as a lubircant whist rubbing down with the paper!).

[@ericmowrey6872]

@@Moonfleet41 Thanks Del, much obliged. The pipes on my Adventurer were pretty dark and devoid of any chrome I knew they were SS when I tried a magnet on them. I hit them with a Scothbrite grinding wheel (red) and they came up a fairly nice silver-ish color w/a rough satin finish. Went over them a 2nd time with the green wheel, which is finer, and was pretty happy with that finish leading into the chrome exhaust. Then you ruined it and polished yours. Now I gotta think this over...:)

[@Moonfleet41]

@@ericmowrey6872 Seriously mate, if this was going to be my bike, and I was gonna ride it every day, I just know I'd end up cleaning them with a Sctochbrite, trying to polish pipes by hand in situ is just pure torture!... finger stabbing, knuckle scraping horror, so this is as good as they'll probably ever look... hope that helps lol

Hey Joe, Those bolts plug up a hole in each pipe that was there initially for the factory to set up the carb mixture settings, they're of no real use after then, we don't have that kind of equipment in a home garage, so i just swapped out the ugly rusted hex bolts for a some tidy stainless button heads to look a little less obtrusive. Looking forward to the move and the next adventure.. Take care my friend ,and keep safe. Del

[@tinks43]

(P) And there I was thinking you built yourself a stool to sit on 🤣 pipes came up a treat. Good luck with the move.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thans mate, it's gonna be an adventure for sure... have a great weekend!

[@jedigeekbiker]

looks bloody awesome

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy..

Great job Del😃💪

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@garymccaughey691]

So that's why you skipped over the question when I asked it a few episodes back. Lol. Onwards and upwards mate. Good to see 2021 is starting very positively.

[@Moonfleet41]

Sorry if it seemed evasive, we didn't wanna jinx anything, and we have so much to deal with as we're also moving Penny out of her high street shop and in to a 'maker space' in the new unit, so it's a three-way move! Lots of plates spinning, so just gotta blow through it!

[@garymccaughey691]

@@Moonfleet41 nah all good bro. I had a notion it was Intentional but not in a bad way. Just keep those plates spinning and best of luck with all moves.

Thank you Flavio!

Hi Del! What's the purpose of the wire brush on the buffing wheel at 5:56? Thanks from the Great White North. Good luck with the move.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi John, that is purely to clean it mate, the yellow wheel is for polishing with the soap and when you move to the white wheel, that is to buff off the residue of soap on the part and bring up the shine, and naturally the wheel picks up the soap and it builds up on the surface, so the brush just cleans it off!

[@Goldwing1500rider]

Your heaters burn those elec wires up?? Wink! Funny I just bought the buffering grinder for $20.. shined u few things in my garage. That’s pretty big compound you got... I got tiny ones! Shine them up!!

[@georgeouthwaite5397]

Bob on job. Good luck with the move ! Love the polishing stand?

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks George, turned out to be a sound investment when you're polishing gangly things like pipes, seems you need loads of room round the wheel!

[@cliffmatthews6577]

Another Great Video !

[@kevinharhat2687]

Good luck on move

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Kevin!

[@richardwhittle2302]

Nice pipes. Someone's a gluten for punishment but sounds like it was in the plan - onwards and upwards. Good luck 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

yeah, in the plan.. just not our plan.. we only got a single one year lease here, and it seems that was why.. they always had a long term plan for development of the estate, and as long as we benefit in the right way, im really happy it's happening..

[@raymondcachia275]

Hi Dell , hope your feeling better, nice job (as always) on the pipes. I just want to ask you from were I can buy a 3 in one exhaust for my 1999 Adventure. Right now I cannot ride it because of health problem so im doing some up grades. Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Raymond, im on the mend and getting better each day.. The only 3-1 system i could find anywhere was the 'Mass Moto" system from Italy.. they are rather ugly, and very expensive, which is why i made my own exhaust for this bike. !

[@Eight20]

Hi Del, I'm impressed with what you've achieved with the exhaust, but are what are thoughts on the welds rusting?

[@jritchiejritchie2687]

Just gotta keep knocking it back with elbow grease

[@Moonfleet41]

Perhaps you didn't watch the actual welding video, they were welded with Stainless steel wire mate, won't rust. ..!

[@Eight20]

@@Moonfleet41 happy to be corrected!

[@leeedsonetwo]

Always wondered how that sort of polishing was done, not sure my dremel will cut the mustard.

[@nickmitton7350]

Looking good Del. Will you be able to swing a cat in your next place? Lol. Good luck with the move.😎👍🏍

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, but maybe just a small one..!lol Thanks for your kind support buddy, looking forward to it.

[@jedibiker600]

Lovely job Delboy, pipes look cracking. Good luck with the move mate.:-)

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, fun days ahead! 👍

[@andydawson2070]

Like the shiny bits, no exhaust gasket for this system?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Andy, new ones installed back when i painted the front of the motor..

[@djstumpy31]

Awesome job del, sorry for my absence over the last 7 months. After 26 yrs of marriage I'm now going solo. Picked myself back up and see what the rest of my life can achieve. Looking to get a new garage for my bikes and tools. I got a lot of your videos to catch up on 👍🏻

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Gary, welcome back brother, and we're so sorry for your trouble, what a difficult time you've had then, on top of a global pandemic that's interrupted just about everything, love your positive attitude, that's what will get us all through it... so keep smiling brother, and more than anything, keep in touch and let us know how you get on, all the best, Del
