and that Sir is why we ride! If it was in bits in a garage then what's the point in ownership and enjoyment out on the road. To the 122👎 Del's lucky to still be here and the lesson for the white board next time is "Life is too short, grab it while you can... with both hands!" 😉
Wise words well said Sam, life is too short for negative attitudes, we're here for a good time, not a long time..and we only get one shot. Take care and keep safe. Del.
Am I the only one that thinks the rear looks perfect as it is. Maybe some holes cut and filled with wire mesh like a previous build, but that rear compliments the tank so well. Looks squat and muscular; love it 👍🏻 All best to you and Penny mate; ride safe
Thanks Ashton, it was a while ago but i hand rolled that tail hump to match the line of the tank, so it should kinda hang together right... At least i can ride it again over the winter now and see how i feel next year once the Husky is finished..
Yes the tail is interesting, I'd like to see it a different colour or cleaned up with a stripe or some accent. The upright bars give it a much better stance.
Brother can u please tell the cost of all the maintenance stuffs u buyed like bearings cables disk rotors stuffs like that it ll help a lot so i could buy a running one then make it glow like when its born
Yeah, a coat of flat black is just a base.. but true Patina is a badge of rank to some people, it can't be painted on, just earned over lots of crappy days out in the weather aye...
Great to see the busa in all its glory again. Like a trip down memory lane reminiscing over the vast amounts of fabrication that went into creating Frankenstein's monster. One to be extremely proud of Del and even more so with the front end recent face lift. It's an absolute beauty. Have a brill weekend both. 🇸🇪🇬🇧☺️👋🏻
Thanks Paul, it's been a long time since ive been out for a blast on it, and ive really missed it.. so after a few little tweaks and a new MOT, it'll be ready to go play out again.!
I know I will sound like a broken record fanboy as I've said it more than once over the years, but I can't help myself. Your crisp, clear, and perfect close up camera focus work, combined with awesome editing, surely must be right at the top of the best on UA-cam. No offense meant to other channels of course, but disjointed rambling and constant hand-held-behind-the-object-trying-to-focus-but-it's-still-blurry nightmare of crossed eyes and reflexively backing away from my monitor, is...well, virtually unbearable to me, lol. With yours, it's simply a joy to watch. Thank you so much for all the hard work you two put in to this stuff.
Thank you very much for those kind words of encouragement, we feel the same too, we crave good videos to watch, what ever the subject, it's just nice to have some quality production and a polished final cut for the viewer.. so to practice what we preach we do our very best during production and post production to make viable content that van be enjoyed just for its viewing experience.. So thank you for your kind feedback, it means a lot and makes it all worth while.
Good to see the Busa back together again Del. Watching you install all those individual components reminds me of how many videos we al got to share with you during all that fabrication. Great job mate. Hope you're feeling well and the two of you keep safe. Nick Australia
Thanks Nick, 👍 i noticed that too, as you pick up each component and refit it, you remember the time spent making it and adapting it to fit.. and of course thankful i took the time to make everything robust enough to be able to take on and off repeatedly, really looking forward to getting out for some winter rides too.. have a good weekend mate and keep safe.
I’m with you, bikes are better when you can ride them. I never like to leave more than one bike apart unless I REALLY have to. Better to put it together and have something to ride.
Can't tell if I love or hate the way this bike looks, leaning towards the former (I'm admittedly not a huge fan of that post apocalyptic look so take what I think with a grain of salt) but you absolutely nail the lines, which is something people really neglect to do on a lot of their custom bikes, and I think making a bike look cohesive is really important. with the triumph you did I felt the final bike looked significantly better than the original design, and with your husky I can already tell that belly pan is going to finish what they started. well done as always. 🤙
Thanks for those kind words, you make a good point that ive heard echoed by some legendary bike builders, Matt Hotch and Jesse James, both have said that you can paint a bike in primer or even nothing at all, and it will still look good if the lines are right.. So thank you for the recognition..!
Thanks Gary, she has become a familiar old girl now, and im really looking forward to getting out for a ride over the winter months, luckily we're blessed with mild winters here (comparatively speaking of course), so as long as it's not snowing ill have some fun wheels to play on.. Enjoy your weekend and keep safe both.. D&Px
@@garya3056 Not so much these days, we were out a few weeks ago for the day, and planning one for November.. but not such big attendance now the nights are drawing in.!
great video brother ! really enjoyed the assembly part ! This hayabusa built is awesome! it must be so comfortable to ride now with those handlebars ! 👍👍👍 great job brother, stay safe guys cheers from new york !
It is a wonderful and aggressive riding position now brother, perfectly weighted between hands and back and am really looking forward to getting out over the winter... have a great week both, stay safe, D&Px
Hey Delboy love your work , I have a problem I can not fix my read brake gets real hot real quick , everything has been replaced by my local macnic , master silder rebuild new brake fluid , pads , poison sealse , everything cleaned to bran new condition , bike is only a 2019 it has abs maybe it is the problem? , I don't know what to do my macnic keeps saying there is nothing wrong with the brakes but it still gets too hot in a short distance I can feel it slowing the bike down😭
Hey Rat Cuz great to see the busa rideable once more :) Watched our Mr Dyson's Idiot Collective and awesome to see you all having fun. Fabulous to see you on your Shedwing it looks great! Enjoy the busa hun and ride safe. Have a great week :)x
Hey Hun.. lovely to hear from you, and thank you for your kind words, the old girl has a new look for sure, and i can't wait to get out in the weather to christen it..! Yale care and keep safe my Queen of the Northern Tribes... chat soon.. D&Pxx
Ah the memories.. the project that just keeps on giving. Looks so good now. I remember following the swing arm removal video when I did mine a few years ago. Awesome work Sir. ❤️
Thanks mate, me too, looks a bit stumpier and wider now.. and i imagine a lot more direct to flick round the lanes on... have a good weekend mate, and keep safe.
Looking good Del. Think you surprised a lot of people with that new front section, it’s finished up really nice. Hopefully a another riding video with this bike soon? QQ, what tyres are you rocking here and would they work on a tiger 955i? I want a more rugged look for my tiger but I still want good road performance. Struggling to find the right tyre to tick both boxes. Cheers, Trev
Hi Trev, thanks mate, the tyres are Dunlop Mutant, and im not sure if they are offered in your Tiger's sizes but worth a check, they're good in the wet and look pretty trick if that's what you're looking for.
@@2WheelTrev I used to run Michelin Anakee 2 on my Tiger... that was a while ago, have you seen the new 'Anakee 3' and 'Anakee Adventure' tyres ? look pretty trick and i was really happy with the Two's.. maybe worth a look .!!
What's the difference between paraffin and petrol? Well, there's two effs in paraffin but there's no effin petrol 🥳🥰 £58 to fill up the car and Jerry can. 🙃 Cheers to you sir, thank you for making these videos. 👍
Thanks buddy.. i keep one on the bike when im out and about, used it countless times, mostly for other people stuck or in need..good investment for sure.. Link in the description..!
Love it! As 75% of the UK's biking fraternity are wrapping their bikes up for the autumn/winter hibernation period - our Del is getting his 180 mph nutter Busa ready to go light up the tarmac!!! See you out there Rockatansky!! 👍😎
might be worth rethinking that tough paint for future builds? granted tlc was never part of the plan for that bike but it looks as though the paint wouldn't even pass a thumbnail test..Can plastikote still be got? we used to call that powdercoat in a can... smelled nice too! out you go and film a spin on it while we still have civil weather👍
Thanks Andy, it was a really comfortable ride even with the factory clip-on's but now with the flat bars it's just perfect... and you're right, sometimes things just need to be left alone if they're right..!
Del, as always its such a pleasure watching you build, rebuild, modify and make your own stamp on these bikes. Just wish I had a garage as I'd love to work on my triumph
Thank you Brian, i really appreciate your kind words. i have constant sympathy for anyone without the space to work on their bike, i spent many years working outside under gazebos or even in the street over the years, it's never ideal, even a small humble shed can make all the difference specially when it's winter and you have important maintenance to do so you can get to work..!
Nice video Del & Penny. Still looks pretty menacing as is mate, but looking forward to seeing what you have planed for the rear end. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend, take care. P.S still no sun :( Cheers
Thanks mate, and sorry it looks like we had a last hooraah with the sunshine today, but it's forecast to rain tomorrow, so get yer thongs ready..! Take care and keep in touch.. D&Px
Cracking video mate. Love the new transition edits at the beginning. Superb. Just a quick question if I may Del, what bars and bar ends are they please? And reckon they'd fit a mk1 bandit 600? Keep up the good work dude 👍🏻
Thanks Aiden, here's a link to the bars and risers, you'll need the 28mm clamps for them !! www.tecbikeparts.com/products/shop-parts/other-bikes-universal/handlebars-handlebar-levers-other-bikes-universal/ I made the bar ends myself from brass, so sadly not available..
Thanks buddy, looking forward to a few rides over the winter, don;t get enough riding time to afford lay-up time.. so a raggedy bike is essential.. Enjoy your Sunday and keep safe. !
I have to say that seat doesn't look that comfy, is it or is there a milage limit with it? Also I love the way you and Penny edit your vids very smooth, you look like you are running on full power now Del, best wishes to you and the lovely penny.
The seat is remarkably comfortable Andy, ridden it for a full day many times and its great. Getting better all the time too, thanks for asking.. and have a good weekend yourself mate..
I continue to be inspired by your positive attitude to projects and so pleased that you continue to make a good recovery, in a world of negativity you are a breath of fresh air. Like your white board 'proverbs' and this one of mine helps me 'there are no such things as problems they're just solutions waiting to be found'. stay well, take care
A positive mental attitude is essential for a happy life we feel, and you are so right, so many people find comfort in being negative and toxic, it runs the risk of dragging the good people down, but we don't need to let it, we can just pass by them and lead a positive life... thank you for your kind support, it's very kind of you to share your thoughts.
Always a great watch, D & P! Appreciate the close-ups, done so clearly, and you make that re-assembly process look so easy - I'd have been head scratching for hours! Best to you both!
Hey Allen, good to hear from you, and i guess this old bike has become pretty familiar by now, had it apart a fair few times so it throws back together pretty quick now.. I imagine you wont have too many riding days left now before winter, have fun if you can get out, and of course.. ride safe.. D&Pxx
@@Moonfleet41 You are correct, very few if any riding days left, and so many other things to take care of before things freeze up around here! Still need one last, good wash, and an application of the FS 365! Enjoy your Fall time!!
I will indeed Sir, it must be hard to have no choice but lay up for winter, but i guess it has its merits in other ways.. Take care and keep everyone warm and safe.. and good call with the FS365 !
Rat survival is not my thing but it does look better with the fighter bars and yes 100% agree a colour change could lift that bike drastically, even just accents or panels of a different colour? might not need a new tail?
Hi mate.. They're "Dunlop Mutants", ( a derivative of the Sportmax range), and probably not as good on dry tarmac as 2ct's as they don't get very hot even when pushed hard...but probably better in the wet i imagine.. they're marketed as a "winter tyre", good in the wet, and in the coming months will be put to the test in the slurry and crap of winter..
@@Moonfleet41 Ah that's good to know, cheers. I have the 2CTs on at the minute and I don't think I have ever had a slip once with them so I just wondered really. I had Angel Pirelli GTs on before that and they were awful, even in the dry. You Busa honestly looks really smart as is if I'm honest, even if you don't end up changing that tail.
@@hunterjg777 Thanks mate, i love it too, and it will be hard to chop it up again, but i have an image of how id like it to look next time, so once the dirty season is done ill have a little think about it.
Hello Del, just a wee thanks for all the videos you and the missus create for all of us to to enjoy and learn from. Put together professionally in this manner must take alot of time and commitment. I have enjoyed your videos for years now. Thanks Del and Penny. God Bless🇬🇧🏴
Are them dunlop mutants. I had them on last bike. I was going same on this Triumph build and discover Chinese own dunlop now and pirelli. Unsure what set to go for.....and surprise you use those red wilko tools Tey probably abit crap. 😊
Oooohhhh men you killed me with that screwdriver goooshhh jesuuuuus never seen one of those before!....next paycheck am ordering one of those for my tool box! Btw your videos are the best and you sir you are a well talented technician!
I try to ride all winter if i can, but then our winters are pretty mild apart from the odd few snow days maybe January or Febuary, so fingers crossed..!
and that Sir is why we ride! If it was in bits in a garage then what's the point in ownership and enjoyment out on the road. To the 122👎 Del's lucky to still be here and the lesson for the white board next time is "Life is too short, grab it while you can... with both hands!" 😉

Man i love the way that bike looks.
Thanks buddy, it's a bit of an animal to ride too.!
You always make it look so easy Del! A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Shaun, it's just simple assembly, but always calming and therapeutic..!
That bike has weathered well... remember all the people saying to weather it before riding, but using it did the same thing.

What tyres do you have on the Busa again? how do you think they compare to the Micheline Pilot Power 2CTs?
Hi mate.. They're "Dunlop Mutants", ( a derivative of the Sportmax range), and probably not as good on dry tarmac as 2ct's as they don't get very hot even when pushed hard...but probably better in the wet i imagine.. they're marketed as a "winter tyre", good in the wet, and in the coming months will be put to the test in the slurry and crap of winter..
@@Moonfleet41 Ah that's good to know, cheers. I have the 2CTs on at the minute and I don't think I have ever had a slip once with them so I just wondered really. I had Angel Pirelli GTs on before that and they were awful, even in the dry.
You Busa honestly looks really smart as is if I'm honest, even if you don't end up changing that tail.
@@hunterjg777 Thanks mate, i love it too, and it will be hard to chop it up again, but i have an image of how id like it to look next time, so once the dirty season is done ill have a little think about it.
Hello Del, just a wee thanks for all the videos you and the missus create for all of us to to enjoy and learn from. Put together professionally in this manner must take alot of time and commitment.
I have enjoyed your videos for years now.
Thanks Del and Penny. God Bless🇬🇧🏴
Very welcome Thomas, and thank you for the kind feedback, it is indeed a big time and energy commitment so we're glad that you enjoy it.
Wish I could have you build a set of custom farings for my 1996 gsxr 750 srad
Greetingz from the Netherlands 👍👍
Are them dunlop mutants. I had them on last bike. I was going same on this Triumph build and discover Chinese own dunlop now and pirelli. Unsure what set to go for.....and surprise you use those red wilko tools Tey probably abit crap. 😊
Them are Mutants mate.. i bought them for the look and was surprised how good they are in crap weather.. which is kinda handy with winter coming..
I was wondering what happened to that baby.
I KNOW YOU GET A LOT OF SHIT BUT CARRY ON
Looks pretty cool like that.
Oooohhhh men you killed me with that screwdriver goooshhh jesuuuuus never seen one of those before!....next paycheck am ordering one of those for my tool box! Btw your videos are the best and you sir you are a well talented technician!
Enjoy the riding while you can. I think i'm down to my last Saturday over here until April/May next year.
I try to ride all winter if i can, but then our winters are pretty mild apart from the odd few snow days maybe January or Febuary, so fingers crossed..!
