Streetfighter Makeover 2.0, Day#3:- Wheels done !

[@mickleblade]

I guess you want to keep the brake discs to the relevant side if you're reusing the brake pads?

[@joepie221]

The sound of those playing cards slapping against the tire at 1:13 brought back memories of tearing up the streets on my bicycle as a kid, with a baseball card clothes pinned to my front fork and slapping the spokes of my wheel, making the exact same sound. A sure fire sign that someday, a kid that would do that, will end up on a motorcycle. Looking good Del. You should see how my 750 is coming along. Or should I say 836 ? :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Wow, you two then? I did that as well, if you did both wheels it sounded really cool... and yep, I guess it led us to where we are today. I was only thinking yesterday what's happened to your bike, I remember your video sliding the engine out, it sounds like it's nearly finished! Good luck and have fun with it, it's about the ride don't you agree!

[@rickrogers2649]

Oddly enough I watched an episode of "Gold Rush" just before this video. You struck much more gold this week than they did my friend. 😁 Hard to say which shines more....those beautiful wheels or Penny's camera work. Too close to call. Cheers and thanks to both of you. I can't wait for the next chapter of the build. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

That is very kind of you to say Rick, we do try to capture the work in a way we'd want to enjoy it ourselves... Have a great week and thank you for your very kind support, D&Px

[@willwye410]

What are the pros & cons of using thread lock for the sprocket nuts versus nyloc nuts? Or were you just re-using the stock nuts? If you’d had suitable flanged nylocs to hand would you have used them? Is there any reason not to use nylocs?

[@grosbeakmc]

Hiya Penny and Del. Great work! A straightforward video but as I periodically do, I'd like to laud all of the work that goes into the making. Scripting, lighting, filming, audio, editing - all are top notch. The video is the very tip of the iceberg of labour and a lovely one at that. As usual you have taken your time to carefully remove the masking, clean the threads and torque everything to spec. I'll add that I was unsure about the gold wheels but they really do pop with the tires uncovered and the gubbins back on. By the way, what did you spray on the cush drives? Anyway, take care, dear friends. Thanks as always for your content - be well and ride safe!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey buddy, how wonderful to hear from you and thank you so much for such kind words of support and encouragement... you're not wrong, each video production is a 12-15hr day from beginning to end, and that's without the planning, ordering and buying parts and materials and arranging diaries with people like the spray shop and other outside vendors... I guess that's why we now know that it can take 2yrs to make a Hollywood movie that is a couple of hours long... and a year of that is the post-production alone! The spray was GT85, a silicone based PTFE lube that helps to slip the cush drive unit fully in to place and it helps condition and soften the rubber as well... Take care and have a great week there! D&Px

[@strshooter7399]

I read through the comments, and if there was anything I would add to them is this; Awesome ! If I had to choose any of the KZbinrs to meet, it would be you. Great job on the wheels (gold might not be my color, but watching your videos, I think I trust your judgement on how you want something to look 👍😎). Stay strong, healthy and happy 🙏😇😎👍 God Bless You and yours.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for your kind words, i guess colour is always subjective, and we can all like the same thing, i just want the two colours to work well together and look good on the same bike ! Thank you also for your kind words of support. Take care and stay safe too.. D&Px

[@th3v1k1ngW4rri0r]

Its awesome to see Penny Pitstop Director and lead camera woman in the garage again!!!

[@arthurlynch1549]

really like the colour was hoping it would be gold, become a bit obsessed with brass on the harley.All IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE THO , have a wee 125 van van cant pull you out of a paper bag but i fecking love it,might start with brass on it as well so far looking good all the best to penny and yourself

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Arthur, glad you approve... it's always good to stamp your own mark on a bike, have fun with your projects whatever it is!

[@ukcadjockey]

Didn't think i'd like the gold but once the discs and sprockets were on and the tyres uncovered it really pops! They look the nuts Del great job.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yep we are happy with the results, the black and gold really go together! Thanks for watching, we both appreciate it.

[@loucee569]

Not sure of the rules in the UK, are you permitted to smooth out the raised letters on the disc brake side of the rear rim? Would have looked much cleaner.

[@timmarks5314]

Sometimes I wonder why us Harley guys just don't buy a Honda and ride.

[@Moonfleet41]

Having owned both, that will never be a question, nothing like a ride on a Harley!

[@johnwalker1]

Wat type of blue thread lock do you use I am wanting sum that's for bolts but can be not too hard to take off I belive red locktite is two strong for bolts that may need to be in and out if a bike Maybe you can doo a vid on fixings etc Thanks john

[@Maverick-moto]

Check out 8m 48secs

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Nice result thanks to your good preparation. I'm not convinced of gold yet, but I wait for the final stage. You often sursprised us with good judgment, mate. That C clamp can in handy. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg (watching a boring EICMA show in Milano from home)

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Günter, gold wheels are quite common, specially back in the 90's and earlier, in fact Kawasaki's had them quite often back in the old days, but perhaps not quite as bright and shiny as these!

[@chrisreynolds3204]

The C clamp is a great idea!

[@throttlefreakz]

you always do an amazing job, those rims came out beautiful, Hello from San Jose, CA (Bay Area)

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much kind Sir, we really appreciate your thoughtful words!

[@장덕수-l4g]

I can feel the sincerity of the work. You are a true master

[@mateimanolachi5699]

the only mistake y have done is not taking the masking tape off when paint was still wet the rest is beautiful!!!

[@renzovc]

Awesome awesome video as always brother, the wheels came out super good. Also great music in the background. Stay safe guys. Cheers, from New York.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you brother 👍, it's great to hear from you always, happy with how the wheels turned out, now on to the bodywork! Have a great and safe week there in beautiful NY both, D&Px

[@LS-uv9gg]

🤩 Worthy of stopping to stare at, every time you walk past them, I'd say! "Things are going great, they're only getting better, the (wheels) are so bright, I gotta wear shades" -Timbuk 3 😎

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, really happy with the outcome, now I've just got to match the richness in the bodywork paint as well.

[@kentsvensson7009]

So smart too use playcard👍🙏👍

[@joegarrett8110]

Lovely colour ! Great job.

[@gregmarkwick9572]

Such a rich gold colour, is there a code for it or is it a "custom" blend?? I have a gsf1250 that would look great with wheels that colour

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes it is a coded colour, but I don't have it to hand right now... talk to your local paint shop, they should have colour chips for your to choose from!

[@rsbharley4766]

Nice video D & P. Excellent job mate, them wheels look sweet, looking forward to the bodywork next. Have a great week and stay safe. Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, glad you approve, really happy with how they turned out, went bold with a real rich colour and glad that I did! Enjoy your week there, keep safe, D&Px

[@Butterfly07949]

Going to be a shame to stick those weights on . But lookin really slick as is Del. Glorious 😊

[@Moonfleet41]

Isn't it just, exactly my thoughts, so I have a cunning plan as they say!

[@TheJameswort]

Genuine question, do the sprocket torques take into account the give in the cush rubbers?

[@garya3056]

They came out stunning, Del! 🏍️👍🏍️

[@Moonfleet41]

Many thanks buddy!

[@tinks43]

Bling bling with the gold rims. Came out stunning & match the furniture brilliantly 🙌🏻

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks so much buddy, really happy with the results!

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

They look stunning Del👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you very much Sir, you're very kind!

[@richardwhittle2302]

Just the job, Del. The playing cards worked well 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Richard 👍, glad you approve, happy with them myself!

[@gearjammer3688]

Just picked the Christmas present to myself...torque wrenches ahoy!

[@Moonfleet41]

Wise investments always sir !

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Wow, they look great! The rotor and sprocket color and the new paint look so good together. I wonder what the two holes on the rim side of each "spoke" are for? Are they for when the wheels were cast, or were they used in some other application where some HUGE rotors were mounted out there on the end of the "spoke"? I wonder if some light company that loves to unbalance wheels makes an LED kit to appeal to the whippersnappers who like LEDs that spin round and round... I have seen nearly golf ball sized lights screwed onto valve stems.... Gotta wonder how many valve stems have been ripped out of the wheel from ideas like that?

[@Moonfleet41]

I've never considered the purpose of such holes, that's just how the wheels are, and yes, I've seen many overly heavy items screwed to valve stems for no reason, other than bling! The lighter the better in my view...

[@madonion2370]

why bother thread locking your disk bolts, just makes them a pain and probs strip off when you come to removing them next time. iv never bothered and not had any become loose on me

[@Moonfleet41]

ALWAYS threadlock disc bolts with medium strength blue threadlock, easy to undo and specified in every manual... be safe.

[@rafaellastracom6411]

The card trick, so to speak, is brilliant. I have wanted to paint the wheels on my bike with the rubber on and now I know how. Great stuff.

[@Moonfleet41]

Exactly that mate, quick and easy, no hassle, and you don't paint under the tyres anyway lol

[@Grandad_mick]

Hi D&P, wheels look amazing, lovin the gold, great job Del, MM

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate👍

[@alfonsosilva5836]

As always flow less... But what I really would like to know is how are you after that health issue you had in the past? I really hope that you are OK and the best regards to penny. Stay safe my friend.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Alfonso, it's good to hear from you, and thank you also for asking, my Health is managed well and under control, im ok day to day, and just stay on top of the medication.. Take care and have a great weekend sir..

[@brianwells5258]

Top job as ever Guys....,keep doing what you are doing because its top class.. God bless BG

Thanks Brian, great to hear from you mate, love your channel, it looks like you put a great deal of work in to making your content... only those of us who do it really understand what goes in to it aye? Keep going buddy, and stay in touch, D&Px

My pleasure Del ,and Thank You for your kind and encouraging words. Credit where it is due., and You and Penny consistently do a great job. I tune into everything you put out. Well done.. BG.

They look fantastic mate, nice one 👏👏

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate 👍

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Absolutely gorgeous, I was tempted to have my wheels done a similae colour, because the year after my model had them. Cheating though, so I changed my mind :) Hope the new workshop is working out as well as it looks for you, by now you have settled in and things look great :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Tony, yes indeed, fully settled in nowadays, and the place feels like home! Thans for your wonderful support as always.

[@allenhuling598]

Therapeutic and educational as always watching you make progress on another project! Wanted to know if that was silicone that you sprayed on the cush-drive rubbers before re-installment, thanks!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Allen, thanks for your kind words... yes, it's GT85 which is a PTFE lubricant, helps everything slide together neatly and helps preserve the rubber long term.

[@allenhuling598]

Right on, thanks for that! @@Moonfleet41

[@myz06rocks]

Time for another tool box 🏍🏍

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah think you're right buddy!

[@myz06rocks]

@@Moonfleet41 I don’t replace mine. Just get more of them. Haha

[@Goldwing1500rider]

I’m not sure bout Gold color, it’s sure different!! Just gotta see it on the bike to make that judgement…. But at the end video…, looks awesome though….Looking forward how you finish it. Camera gal did great job though!! Pretty detailed!!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you for your kind words there, we both really appreciate it, it's a lot of work, but great to know it's enjoyed! Stick with it, we do have a plan!

Well done Del, glad you managed to get your old bike back.All the many bikes I either sold or traded the one that still haunts me for selling was a Norton 850 Commando mint condition.. It was years ago and I still kick myself for selling it....Good video, Thanks!

Don't we always mate, do a number plate search, you might find it's still out there somewhere!

If you mean the large socket set in the top of my tool chest, there's a link to it in the description on the video below!

[@muratakcal6522]

You're doing a really great job, my friend. I have a question, can I know how many Newton meters of torque you tightened the brake discs and rear wheel sprocket, thank you.

Beautiful mate, they look like they just came off the factory line.
