Better than anything on the teli and therapeutic. When you know everything is right it makes the ride so much more enjoyable. Thank you big time for your professionalism mister.

Thank you Gerald, you've very kind.

Back from three weeks on the road with 3 bikes and 3 groups. Italy, Slowenia, Austria, Germany. Need an iron butt ;-) Have a lot to catch up with your HD project, Del. Cuppa und enjoying your meticulous work, Günter from Nürnberg

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Günter, glad you had a safe trip, i bet it was a great adventure.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@Moonfleet41 Adventure yes, fun too, but exhausting in the end. Pretty much enjoy sitting in a cool room in front of the screen for a change. But not for long, next weekend another ride with friends and the Tuono V4. Looking forward to your next episodes, Günter

[@rickrogers2649]

Your attention to detail amazes me (and warms my heart). Also big props to Penney for getting the super close up shots of the castings in the parts washer after said machine went rogue in the last video. 😁 Big thank you to both of you. ❤️ 👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks so much Rick, it is a team effort and now and again the tools bite back!! We appreciate you watching and for all your support, D&Px

[@clark7169]

Cracking job Del. That's a lot of components to clean and dismantle. Looking forward to the painted finished article. Onwards and upwards. 🇸🇪🇬🇧👋🏻🥳

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Paul👍, enjoying the journey. Have a great week buddy, Take care. D&Px

Brilliant video Del! REQUEST why not do one episode of out takes and mess up's as i know every one messes up from time to time

[@grosbeakmc]

Great video! Never would have thought there were so many parts in there. Take care!

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah me neither!

[@andyhutch8262]

Hope the contents of the sink goes into a septic tank, last place the degreasing liquid should go is into the mains.

[@LS-uv9gg]

Exactly what Gerald West said; very therapeutic! Really enjoying these as always :D

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you enjoy them buddy, and thank you kindly for your comments!

[@tonymartin3780]

That little driver gets some stick Del 😀

[@andyjrichie6709]

Gonna look great after a fresh coat of paint. Great video

[@ecrusch]

Incredible difference in how they look with the "before & after" shots. Your patience and determination are paying off my friend.

[@chambobs]

Wish I'd found you earlier Delboy. I'm working on a mark1 bandit. 1997.... your videos have helped me so much. Thank you... 😀

[@Butterfly07949]

Would love to blast a few item's myself its all in the prep for a great finish. Awesome Del 😀 Love the mug. I used to be in the CMA and was even approached by the Tribe of Judah mm. I have always had my own motorcycle evangelism ministry though. Great video as always x

[@colfergusson4242]

Think I need to get my SB cabnet! I take it the cup of coffee was for your camera lady Penny lol 😆

[@mrlongtree]

Triple Trees? come on, they're yokes.

[@Moonfleet41]

Naah, Murican bikes have 'Trees', and 'Fenders'..Nice avatar bud..Is that a Yoak tree ?

[@brianwells5258]

Loving everything I'm seeing on this restoration.. Well done......

With such attention to detail this is going to be one special bike - cheers guys! x

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much Mike, building this one is is a very special project, one ive wanted to do for a long time.

[@tinks43]

They look pretty good satin, just won’t stay that way for long. On the Decaff, where’s the wakey juice 🤣

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, be good if it could stay like that aye... Have a good week buddy..

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Polish them up on the mop..they'll look mint.

You make it look easy Del, absolute credit to yourself 👍🏼

Thanks mate 👍

[@springy-2112]

I left a comment earlier but my new technology decided it wouldn't play nicely . I can't remember what I said but you get the idea .. Peace love and hugs to you both of course✌💚 It would also appear that my fingers have Tourettes ! .....F____ !😄

[@Moonfleet41]

Weird issues with YT comments today, down for hours, then fits and starts... it must be the pines buddy..! F~😄

@@Moonfleet41 That's good to hear it wasn't my problem . There I was uninstall , re install etc etc .. I feel better now, I thought I had broken the whole Internet . I suppose we take it for granted when it's working normally . It is magic sky zig zigs after all. 🤪✌💚

Another great video brother ! teardown and refurbishment ! love the attention to detail ! soon 1 million subscribers 👌💪 stay safe guys cheers from new york 🥂🥂🥂🍺🍺🍺

[@Moonfleet41]

Wow wouldn't that be nice, but we're growing steadily and we're thankful for every new sub we get... have a great week both of you and take care of each other, all the best brother, D&Px

[@Penros0]

Sometimes Americanisms are more accurate, but they're called yokes because they look like yokes.

[@Moonfleet41]

... yeah, you're right! And the Americans laugh at us because we call the corners of our cars 'wings', it's all in the language aye!

[@myz06rocks]

Always thought of a blasting cabinet as "Painting on the clean" :) I was wondering... any consideration for (or is it possible to) just clearing the triples? That clean aluminum look tends to grow on you i think. Thanks as always!

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, i totally agree, clean, 'flat finish' aluminum looks great, but once these are all dressed up with the rest of the furniture then most of the surface is covered and hard to get to for re-cleaning.. i want the bike easy to live with and keep clean.. so paint is the best option here for me.! Great to hear form and and thank you as always for your support. D&Pxx

[@bobgwinn5091]

wow great job

[@russcattell955i]

Mmm, perhaps this project is partly inspired by H-D XLCR. Though Del does not do copy / paste builds.

[@Moonfleet41]

The XLCR was an iconic motorcycle, and stands to this day as the most individual, stand-out Sportster model ever produced, so not exactly "copy/paste", but there is always inspiration there.!

[@monkeygoeswest]

So, the stem thingy you knock out with the sealy hammer tool can you do this with a good old hammer??

[@Moonfleet41]

By "sealey hammer tool" i presume you mean the hydraulic press ?... so NO, you cannot hammer the stem out.. they're an interference fit and must be pressed in under control mate !

[@MintyGusto]

Brilliant video Del! Love seeing your common sense approach to this!

[@ariasmartinezedwinalberto2830]

I took the lower tree to a mechanic to pull out the steel tube, he took it out the wrong side, now I don’t know if I can still use it, just a little ring shavings came out

[@russellleggatt4269]

Lookin' good Del. Love this channel!

[@Moonfleet41]

Much appreciated mate!

[@Soulriderpowder]

Is 12ton press good enough to do all the jobs here

[@Moonfleet41]

More than enough, there's nothing on a motorcycle that would require any more than even 3 tons in a press.

[@TheRealNVT]

Such a pleasure to watch your channel, it does wonders for my mental health - thank you.

[@Yaketyyak21]

I would buy a bike from this man any day,you would be certain it is in perfect condition,always does a first class job…

[@duncancleverley6366]

Del, I’ve been watching your videos for ages and love the builds. Thanks for posting all the details and your excellent explanations. Really enjoyable. I hope your health is on the mend? One slight ‘constructive’ bit of feedback.. not sure why the religious mug has started appearing in the vids? It’s totally your choice to choose your own beliefs mate, but if there’s one thing guaranteed to alienate parts of your audience it’s religion.. just sayin’… otherwise.. fantastic as always. Take care mate.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you for your kind words about the video Duncan, the mug was a kind gift from a motorcycle club, we're just showing a little respect to say thank you!

Hi Del, what grade of beads/sand do you use in your blaster?
