Must have missed this first time round. The shifter looks beautiful. Hope the recovery is going well. Stay well and hope to see you back soon.
Thanks Keith, yes this was a while ago, but a great little project and very enjoyable to produce such a clean outcome.
After seeing this video for the second time, I can say, any(qualified) engineer who criticises your work style needs to remember, Qualifications mean nothing if you can't back it up with practical application.
You ARE an engineer, an "old school" engineer.
Thank you for your generous words Tim, it was an enjoyable project and a satisfying result, I guess the interpretation of the word has many uses, but the point I was making is pretty much like you say, that I may not have the pieces of paper to wave in the air, but perhaps the hand skills to make a result, and in the end, that's what pays the wages aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 You are not one or another... you are all of it.
Good morning Del and Penny. Hope you are feeling better and getting back to firing on all cylinders. Love the finished result on that gear shifter. In fact, I'm loving the series of re runs, so don't rush your recuperation, we can wait. Having said that, I'm looking forward to what's next in the new workshop. Take care of each other, much love.
Thank you for your kind words Paul, im making progress and we're keeping safe away form the world while im recovering. should be back soon, we plan to begin making fresh videos again next month, slowly to start with, and maybe build it back up over time.. have a good Sunday sir, and keep safe.. D&Px
Stunning job, I'm super impressed with your craftsmanship.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I really like these reminders that so much can be accomplished with simple tools and a bit of elbow grease!
Absolutely mate, nicely put.
What a great video this was. Deceptively simple, yet the finished results were sooooo awesome and (better than) professional looking! The fact that it combined function *and* form as the upgrade change, was the cherry on top. Well done sir!
Thank you most kindly my friend, it was an enjoyable short project and great to upgrade a custom part.
Hi Del and Penny, thanks for the video,and I mean all of them ..I hope you are feeling better day by day,,, through personal experience I know that you will be feeling back to normal after a few weeks and enjoying Life ,Love, and BIKES again..All my best wishes Del and Penny ❤️
Hi Gerry, thank you so much for those helpful words of support, it is difficult to think you'll ever get past the shock of it and of course, the fatigue which is pretty constant, but I guess when I compare where I am now back to day 1, then I'm indeed a lot better... slowly making progress... thank you for thinking of us, take care, D&Px
Wow!! Never seen anything like it… really awesome conversation… I could have used that . Lathe certainly useful.
Thank you kindly Sir. Glad you liked it!
Really neat video, and machine work. Very fascinating! I was hoping to see you install on the bike, as I have just bought this Motone shifter for my ‘06 Scrambler and am having trouble fitting it on the spline. The Motone piece is too small, and I couldn’t spread the tines, nor budge it, and it sort of messed up the first little bit of spline on the shifter, so I gave up and put stock shifter back on. Was bummed because I spent $70 usd on Motone part.
Very nice work Sir, and really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work, and cheers on your and Penny’s recovery ❤️🩹
Hi Donald, sorry to hear you had problems with that, their parts are usually reasonable quality and never had any problems with the ones I've fitted in the past... do you think it's worth sending it back to them for a replacement, as you did experience that it was seemingly too small to fit, which has resulted in some damage trying to fit it, perhaps they could advise or replace it for you?? Oh and thanks for your kind words of support, recovering slowly and getting back to normal!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for your reply. Motone does make beautiful products, and the quality is very good! I’ve had other products of theirs, and it’s always been good stuff. Again thank you! Cheers M8!
Beautiful work as always sir. I know you're itching to get back to work but relax and enjoy your time with your bride. We'll be here when you BOTH are ready to come back and share with us.
Thank you so much Jon for those kind words... we are looking forward to getting back to it and should be able to start making some content again next month, just one at a time to start with!
Absolutely glued to the screen in the machining parts, it's like magic, one teeny tiny thing would of made it perfect, seeing the O-Rings on the shifter grooves haha Fantastic video though.
Watching your videos from Malta 🇲🇹 .. I have a triumph boneville america 2003. I love it. Keep posting you’re doing great 👍. Best regards
Thanks, will do!
I love your videos and I learn a lot of them! I’m biker for more than 50 years and I discovered them by chance looking for information about the Bonneville T120 that I plan to buy, and I have seen that I will have to change suspensions. The shock absorbers I will put 10 mm. longer than the standard ones. But is there any trick more to avoid rubbing with the footrests in the corners? Thank you, and Compliments!!!
What a fantastic video, shows your love for motorcycles.
Thank you so much.
Yes looks a heck of a lot better shiny shiny I think it is a real step up in gear aye 😀
Talking of black my hand is 99% now save a blackened thumbnail.
But more importantly you are back on the mend Del 😀
Hi Marc, I see what you did there!... great to hear you're on the mend! D&Px
That's a lovely bit of modification work. As soon as you finished machining it, I thought "That would look great with some O-rings added" :D Powder coat is a stubborn bastard to remove, abrasives (blast cab or persistent sanding) for us home workshop types seems best option. Not surprised it started to chip at the corners as like with spray paint it tends to thin over sharp edges when you flow it in the oven.
Thanks Chris, it was a pleasure to make this item look so much better.
What a difference🤭 Ten times better😊 You are great👍😊
Thank you! 😃
Hoping your recovering well, best wishes to Penny :)
Thanks so much mate, yes, slow progress and improving all the time. Thanks from us both.
Delboy, from Ontario Canada, God Bless, you are a gifted craftsman!!
Thank you most kindly Sir, im glad you enjoy the videos..
I was going to say you really put your heart into that!! But with 4 stents..... maybe not!!!😂😂😂😂
Hope your keeping well and recovering nicely!! Miss you on here mate!👍😊👍😁😁😁
Thanks buddy, i had a great time making this, and will be doing a few more small projects like this in the future.. gonna be getting back to making content form next month.
1000 times nicer!… nice work as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful piece of work Del.
Very impressive. Top Man .
Wishing you both well. Neil Carrington
Hi Neil, thank you so much for your kind words, it was an enjoyable project!
I love watching videos in the garage where it all began, for me anyway, you were my first Subscribed channel on UA-cam and I was so thrilled you answered me. You’re the best bud, we love and miss you. Thank you for taking care of our friend Penny, this world is not ready to be without Del. 🍻
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for such kind and generous words brother, it makes us feel so totally blessed and privileged to have friends around the world who care so much. We always love to hear from you, and it won't be long before we're back making content to enjoy.. Take care and keep safe.. D&Pxx
Looks even better the second time around! Hope you’re both well x
Thanks buddy, it's a great project and really enjoyed it back then, thanks for your kind thoughts.
Morning young man, trust the recuperation is all going to plan 👍
Yes Marc, good days and bad days, but slowly making progress..
Missed this when it was first released….that thing looks sweet! Hope you’re recovering well mate. All the best to Penny ❤️
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun project and yes, I'm on the mend, thanks to the best nurse in the world right here at home.
Excellent job on that shifter. Always nice to see a quality bit of highly polished aluminium
Thank you Edward. Glad you like it !
Great to see even a repeated episode. Fabulous work, Del. You’re being missed. Hope your recovery is going well my friend. Look forward to seeing you back on deck when you’re ready.
Thank you Nino, looking forward to getting back to it, slowly but surely I'm getting back to normal.
That's an amazing result! Very talented man. Hope your recovery is going well mate, all the best, Dan.
Hi Dan, thank you for those kind words, it was a fun project.. and yes im recovering more every day and making progress..
Oooo forgot, STAY SAFE and get WELL!!!!
Thanks buddy, on the mend, glad you're enjoying the videos!
Hope your recovery is going well much love to penny from me an my father (avid watchers for 5 years now)
Wow thank you Ryan, good to hear from you both, and thank you so much for such long term support, it's great to have you aboard, have a lovely week and all the very best from us both D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 can't wait to have you's back bigger an better than ever
Hope your recovery is going smoothly. Would you have done it the same way now? Considering all the tools you have now.
Good morning kind sir, and thank you yes, im recovering slowly.. this part was specific for a friend and this finish is how she wanted it, very bling and shiny... for myself, if this was for my bike, i would have maybe bead blasted it for a smooth satin finish, other then that, constitutionally i like it how it is.. Take care and have a good Sunday.. D&Pxx
A stunning transformation !
Peace and love Db and Pp. 👍🏻☮❤
Thank you Brother, one day at a time, we're making progress, good days and bad days.. but always forward..! Take care and have a good week old chap, Love from us both. D&Px
You are far more than you know
What an awesome fabrication, Del! This was a great vid, Mate! I see you are +another 1000 subs this week! Nicely done! Hope you both are doing well… and that you are taking it easy!
🏍👍🏍
Hi Gary, thank you for your kind words, it was a fun project and a great result... and yes indeed the subs keep growing nicely as more people find our Channel and enjoy what we do, which is very encouraging. We're having a good week so far and slowly making progress, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 awesome on all accounts, my friend! 😎
greetings from patagonia
you revalue the good work of a TRUE mechanic
I also do everything in my power and more; thanks to old guard teachers like you (sorry for my english)
Thank you very much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and your English is perfect sir.
Good to see ya back in the shop.
Thanks buddy, not there yet, this was a re-loaded video from 2018 so you don't forget us... should be back next month.
Hi del hope your taking it easy and doing well all the best .
Thank you Martin. I am! and making progress.
👍.... good weather coming..relax and speedy recovery Del . remember that video 👍
Yeah, hope so, been watching the sunshine out the window for a month while cobwebs grow on the bike... looking forward to getting back out.
@@Moonfleet41 you will .. enjoy Del👍
Hi Del thats what I like about you mate a true professional I can see your love of metal. Hope you are resting and recovering mate best wishes to penny
Thanks Dean👍, yes mate, we're taking it easy and going to be getting back to making content next month slowly, just one at a time to get back to the swing of things.. thanks so much for your kind support buddy.
Funny I also must for some reason missed this, very nice work I have a Triumph America 2007, gear shift is same sort of design but Rubber. Does not compare to yours. Nice One!
Still a neat job. Now, which bike maker would likely be the first to offer a power driven screw jack version with Bluetooth memory pre-sets & full colour TFT angle display? - or do we just have wait for the 'Putin GTO' from Ural? : )
Hi you guys. Again a lot of thoughts of love coming your way from Denmark along with hopes of Del's speedy recovery
🇩🇰 🙏 🌹
Thank you so much Jakob, that is very kind of you to send words of support, I'm on the mend and we're making progress every day, thank for thinking of us, D&Px
Nice work, hope your recovery is going well and you’re not being silly, stay safe mate and hope to see you back soon, ( but only when fully recovered)👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Pete, no, not being silly, resting and recovering.. we should be back to making content next month, but only as and when we can.. life has to get back to normal at some point, and as long as it's careful and gradual, ill be fine... Thank you for your kind thoughts and words sir... all the best.. D&Pxx
Fantastic job del boy makes it look 💯 times better 👏
Thanks 👍
What was the customer's reaction?
Or rather, what was the manufacturer’s reaction?
Great the first time round even better the second time. 👍 hope recovery is going well buddy and pp is all good too
Thanks Mark👍 we're fine, im making progress and Penny is taking the best care of me possible, together we're pulling though this and should be back making content next month.

A touch of TLC and Delboy magic producing a bespoke gear changer, real nice work Del. Your friend must be of been over the moon with the result. Hope you are both well and I bet you are chomping at the bit to get back into the garage. 😊
Great video..👍☘️🇮🇪
Great improvement on the original, tidy piece of kit.
Tasty work.
Nice
I can't help but laugh every time that song at 4:30 starts. I think you could affect a more authentic Appalachian accent than whoever is singing that song, Del. lol
