Those parts look like they are of incredible quality. That makes the high price of admission easier to justify. I'm old enough to remember when "Made in Japan" was something to avoid at all cost. Obviously not the case these days. These controls really fit the theme of the build. You have a great eye for design Del. Many thanks to you and Penny for another great video. Cheers and blessings to you both. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Rick, initially I was restricted on options for such an early model Harley, there are many options for rubber mount engines (2004 onwards), but on this bike I think it was a choice of two in the end, so am glad it was a high end option, and happy that it really enhances the bike!

[@mickleblade]

My old work had the Loctite rep visit, he advised us to use a tiny drop of the stuff, imagine one blob and then rolling 2 screws together to halve it again. Not sure if Sealey are different, or indeed if that rep was correct.

[@Moonfleet41]

I can say from experience that certainly applies with the Red High strength stuff, any more than a single drop and it's like trying to get a seized bolt out, with with the blue medium stuff i find a couple of drops works well and pay attention to the torque settings as a wet thread needs less torque applied as im sure you know !

[@loganalomar9919]

That's a nice set up you bought there mate. That right side is now begging for a chain guard and brass highlights. Are all the side project bikes part of your fleet, or jobs you do for friends or side gig?

Del, as a "layer-outer" of parts extraordinaire', I know that the way that kit was packaged made you very pleased! :) What a well packaged kit! The build quality looks tip-top shelf. That shift linkage is very nice! SATO Racing totally nailed this. The look goes very well with a bike with a direct link to the 1950's while looking totally up to date as well. Also, this makes your cam chest cover modification look even better than it already did! Well done, SATO, and well done Del & Pp!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Tommy, You are right, it was really satisfying to see the kit so well presented, not just from Sato it's self, but also the parcel how it came from the vendor in California, when you spend that kind of money it makes it all feel good when everyone takes such care in getting the items to you safely..

I’m thinking of getting a sportster again. Doing some mods and making it a proper speed machine. I think my first big thing if I do it is a billet aluminum racing swingarm to reduce weight. Whatcha think? Liking where your project is going by the way.

Depending on what model year you buy, you could fit a back end from the XR1200, that would give you both the aluminium swingarm and the big wide wheel to go with it... just a thought!

Hi Peter, you're right, a brass nut in that location would be unwise, it's actually a critical fastener too, so the factory nut (or equivalent) must be used, i will in fact be making a cap to go over it as i said..! Thanks for your support as always mate.. D&Px

Looks like a handy conversion kit for those in the market. It looked like the 2 long hex bolts that go into the bottom of the engine casing for the gear lever seemed to be the originals. I was a little suprised they didn't provide longer ones? I might not have seen it correctly though. Have a good week.

[@Moonfleet41]

They are indeed the factory bolts on the gear linkage mount, the basic printed directions did state that some OEM fasteners would be reused..! but as the plate, and spacers on that mount were the same thickness as the original foot peg mount, at least there was the same amount of thread into the engine casing !!

[@GrandpaFumblefingers]

Watching the Sportster build this afternoon, I was struck by two things First, I find it very interesting that today we look at products from Japan for quality. 60 years ago, I would have been saying, "You bought Japanese junk instead of American or British quality???" How times have changed. Second, I think you missed a 'teaching moment' today with the reversed shift lever. Being reversed, it now shifts, up for 1st and down for the rest. Same as the old AMC & Ducati 'ice cream cone' singles. I am sure there are many in your audience that do not realize that. In fact you might make yourself a note, in order to remember in the near future when you take that first test ride. I remember back in 1967 when I traded an A7 BSA for a new Triumph, I must have revved the Triumph to 8-9000 RPM when I made a shift from (what I thought was) Second to third. 🤣

[@Moonfleet41]

How times have changed indeed mate.. the old term "Jap Crap" is history now aye! Regarding the reversed shift lever, what you say is right if the lever is mounted directly onto the spline shaft.....But take a look again at the video at 6:55.. notice how the linkage makes a double reverse, so the gears work as normal..!!! In fact it's even more clever than that, If I mount the spline shaft lug facing backwards (as i have), it works as normal. But, if I wanted to reverse the gear change then i just rotate the spline lug so the tab faces forward...then it will work "race track stylee... Clever 'Jap Crap' aye buddy ..lol!

Great video delboy , I know this is off topic of the video so I do apologise but I'm in need of some advice if poss please , basically the new r1 rear axle tourqe specs in the service manual say 140flbs which is really high in my opinion and have heard a few horror stories of bending and breaking things , the 2014 r1 and fz1 take 108flbs which I thought was high at the time but now seems reasonable 😆🙈, I'm reluctant to give it factory specs of 140flbs and think it might be an error in the service manual , also they look like the same parts even on new bike as the older ones , I just don't want to damage anything it as many poeple do with those specs so do you think sticking to the 108flbs could be a safer option .
