Great video Del. I still enjoy the old finger snap grinder disc change. “If you learned from it, then it wasn't a mistake. It was a lesson”. Have a great weekend.
Thanks mate👍, good point well made.. given the work to put it right, im not likely to forget that again.. Have a great weekend too and stay safe.
I love that finger snap and all the other wizardry as well! I particularly enjoy the "sneaking up on" pieces, then quick as a wink, Del grabs 'em! Those little things make a big difference in the enjoyment factor, to me, anyways :)
@@tommylitchfield3450 I agree and the editing is spot on too.
Your fans took words out of my mouth ! Lol… guess I was bad influence on the snap thing !! Your fans loved it. Great job modifying as I didn’t quite noticed it. Good eye!! 😊 happy weekend your n Penny!
Have a great weekend yourself, thanks for your support! D&Px
My first thought was to plug-weld the holes, re-drill, then re-profile the "legs" that mount to the trees, but that would have made the "legs" too narrow, side to side. Your way here takes more time, but after paint, it will look just like you had planned, with the benefit of your "Go Fast" lightening holes. All's well that ends well! Enjoy the weekend, D&P
Yeah, it's correct now and im happy with the dash im looking at every day..!! Enjoy your weekend too mate, and stay safe.
It wouldn't be too narrow, but it doesn't need that much reinforcement
Hi Del...im really enjoying this one......I have done a headstock mount operation on my speed triple..i just really didnt like the "crashed sportsbike" arrangement.....i cut up the frame mounted stem....adapted some fork mount brackets ( adding some heavy ally solar panel brackets ) and bolted the whole thing together, retaining the triumph bug eyes. it took alot of trial and error to get right. I ended up with the intruments pulled as close to the top triple clamp & as low as possible, so the trip-meter buttons are jammed up under the ignition key ring......I now have a flyscreen added to this handlebar mounted kit so im just going to be very wary of crosswinds when im really ripping along. A Hayabusa goes alot faster than an old speed triple so i'd just be very wary of aerodynamics and cross winds....Possibly you should be treating this mount as a prototype and re-sorting it when you get your headlamps.
A small mistake for a great improvment.
Cheers.
Hi Delboy, great job. That would bug me too. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night until it was fixed. You did it the right way!!! Best regards, Frank from Florida.
Thanks Frank 👍, glad you approve. !
great video brother !!!!!! way to fixed it !!!! bike looks great and you upgrade your design to a lighter bracket !!!! keep up the great work !! stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Talking of war of the worlds Del these apertures look like their eyes.
Seriously though its a big improvement and unique.
Watching you do all that welding and grinding was reminded of the comment a community member made about doing this at the beginning of the day.
Love the channel and love reading through the comments!
All the best, Del and Penny
Yeah, i can see the resemblance now.. not intended, but a happy coincidence aye ! Have a great weekend too. D&Px
Hi Del & Penny, hope you have had a great week. Bugger, bad luck mate, but we have all been there at some point. Some times we just miss one little thing , but the up grade makes it so much better. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend and hope you are starting to get some better weather, still 30C here everyday and no rain. Take care, Cheers
Thanks mate, you're right, it only takes one missed calculation and it can lead to a whole day to fix it.. oh well. Weather is slightly improving, little warmer, little less wet.. but it's in the right direction, Take care and stay safe too, and than kyou for your support as always.
One slight neglect of measuring means another day in the garage. Giving you the chance to improve your bracket. Well done and enjoy the spring weekend, Günter/Nürnberg
A good catch there Del - and an interesting way to fix the alignment issue.
I actually think it will work for the best as it the cutout looks a great improvement (and far lighter too!).
Have a good weekend both of you - :-)
Thanks mate👍, you too, and with Spring around the corner, at last we can get out to play a bit more too..! Take care and stay safe. D&Px
Thanks for sharing that Del. I couldn't see it, but i also have about nine hundred scars on my head from every bonnet latch I've nutted! How they used to let me work on cars with my white stick i dont
know?!
Good on you for revisiting and fiming it. Peas n loaf ✌️ ❤️
Cheers buddy, I too have a few of thos digs and scars, not to mention a slit lamp named after me at the local hopsital!... but heyho there we go, such is the lot of a grease monkey... Stay safe and have a great weekend, love n hugs, D&Px
At least you spotted it before paint. That would have been annoying 😂
Yeah, too right !😂
Once u know it’s there it will bug u forever. Right choice to amend. We all balls up buddy, don’t worry about it. Fixed now! 👍🏻
Sorry
What is not symmetrical is the position of the switch, maybe because of the locking mechanism?
The clock with its four circles, his circumference, and his four mount, are all symmetrical.
The handlebar supports are symmetrical to the two forks..
Your work before the repair is symmetrical to the fork.
But maybe I'm wrong.
Nice fix to the problem Del your getting there bike is looking great
Thanks 👍
Always the perfectionist mate👍 attention to detail makes all the difference. All the best to you and your good lady. Keep up the great vids buddy 👍💪
Thanks Alan 👍, we really appreciate your kind feedback!
Great save Del. Lots of tedious grinding there but I know it would have driven you crazy staring you in the face each time you got on the bike. OCD can be a tough taskmaster sometimes. (ask me how I know that 😁). End result is perfect and that's all that matters. Great weekend to you and Penny. ❤👍👍
You're not wrong Rick, I don't lliterally suffer with OCD, that's a pretty serious condition and I feel truly sorry for any sufferers, but certainly I do like things right, and like you say, it'd nag you forever... and just taints your enjoyment of the bike! Have a great weekend there, keep safe, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 I should have been more clear....."mechanic's OCD" Any of us who have ever turned a wrench have had a bit of that at times.
@@rickrogers2649 Ha ha, oh yes indeed, i think we just call it attention to detail aye..lol!
Hiya Penny and Del... great video! We all make mistakes (I just mistyped the word "mistake" TWICE) and you did a great job of correcting it.Once the paint is on nobody will know other than you, me and about two hundred twenty-five thousand others (ha!). Take care, dear friends. Be well, ride safe and enjoy the weekend. Here in Ottawa, Canada we just got 20 cm of snow... but it is melting fast!
My goodness, SNOW...Still?.. i hope that won't be for much longer and you can get out soon.. What a beautiful place to live though, i think i could forgive it.!! Glad you enjoyed the video, and have a wonferful weekend aye..Take care. D&Pxx
Decent holesaw would have done the trick del and kept it symmetric too, i'm sure one of those lightening holes is the shape of australia😀
Ha! I wouldn’t have even noticed. So much for my so-called discerning taste! lol! 🏍️👍🏍️
Such a perfectionist, great job Del Boy 👍👍😉
Absoulute respect, but I didn't expect anything else from yourself. Always been straight up about getting it wrong. Anyway it would have driven you nuts, more obvious with the front wheel in the air!!!🤣😉
Ha ha yeah, when it's right up in front of your face, it's gonna be even more noticable aye !!lol Thanks for your kind support mate.!
Much better, even I can rest easy now.. Cheers & Thanks
I feel that under vibration on the road the cut and re-weld may end up snapping even tho I know from watching your videos for years how good a welder you are... Now I'm not a welder and you wouldn't want me to go near a welding machine.... I think cutting it was a mistake. I think you should have welded the holes closed and then ground them flat and then re-drilled them from there.... I think that would have been the stronger idea.... I hope tho the bracket doesn't snap and will do the job you have created it for and that it will last many many years without issue.
It won't crack mate, it's 3mm thick, and light weight...plus it's rubber mounted and holds no weight either.. Shifting the clock pod sideways on the plate would have overlapped the silhouette one side.. look how the bottom lugs fit perfectly into the shape..! don't worry, it will last many many years without issue im sure !
@@Moonfleet41 Ah my bad I didnt explain which holes I meant. 😁 I mean the ones that attach to the triple tree not the ones that the gauge cluster is attached to... Its cool. Not meaning to be rude was just a thought.
@@TheNintendoFanBoy01 Ah I see, now you make it clear mate, I cut the plates under the top clamp to fill the space completely, I also cut the groove around the ignition switch block so the area is full, giving the most available metal for strength, moving the holes sideways would mean moving the plate sideways and would mean reducing the amount of metal there and indeed that would remove strength!
Great job. A milling machine would have saved you a ton of time on those cut outs...
It would indeed mate..feel free to drop me one round 🥰 lol!
Big improvement Del ! Great way to rectify a mistake and improve the bracket afterwards ! Have a great weekend mate👍
Thanks, you too mate!
Love it. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing it twice 😊 looks perfect now. 👍🏼
Yeah, I'm claiming the first one was a practice run and I'm sticking to it lol
Nothing wrong with sharing the iterative process, great improvements!
Absolutely, thanks mate.
That would have annoyed me too; worth taking the time to make it right :)
Alloy without cut outs, and closer back plate edge to end slightly under the dials,,,,hey everyone has there own idea, looks good though.
Brother, you need to get a plasma cutter.....Makes jobs like that a breeze. Good job in making it right though.
I do indeed, although you do have to clean up the edges, so still a little work, but certainly easier... on the list mate!
Respect to you Del, you’re a perfectionist 👍🏻
Thanks mate.. when you look at it all the time, it's always gonne bug you aye ..lol!
Always the consummate professional!!!
Hi Del, good correction to an easily made mistake. Have a great weekend and see you next week.
Thanks, you too buddy, happy with it now.. !
Ah; no matter the fancy new shape, nor the in-line type alignment, the clang remains a Bee-flat : )xx
🤦🏻♂️ least we know you arent a robot now Del😂 stuff happens! My only concern would be wind noise, may be fine, will know after test run
Thats brilliant. I think I might have been tempted to live with it.
No , thank you Del, we would watch you make a cup of Tea. lol
Ha ha, thank's mate, two sugars?.
Well, two and half mill, I know it was only mm, s but always worth putting correct, great video sir, hope you and Penny are both well
Thanks mate 👍, glad you enjoyed it.. and yeah, worth rectifying aye ! Have a great weekend too.
In a way making that mistake turned out to be a good thing mate. looks better.
WOW this only the 2nd time I seen ya use a elec drill
Always fix a mistake it happens,nice fix though🥰
Yes! Thank you!
When the keys are in it and few key rings it would be hard to see it pal.
I'd have to disagree mate, maybe it's just me, but once I know it's off, it'll look like it's 'yards out' forever and always bug me!!
@@Moonfleet41 I'm an Engineer. I would see the center line misaligned every freaking time. HaHa. Great video. Ride safe and take care.
You just can’t unsee some things once spotted……aarrgghh 🤭
Exactly.
Happens to the best of us Del - well sorted 👍
Thanks mate, happy to have the chance to improve it!
An observation, when welding why go from bottom to top when to me top to bottom would appear easier. I am not a welder, just curious and we all make mistakes.
Always push the weld so you can see where it's going, if you drag the weld the join is hidden by the nozzle, can't see where you're going..!
Positive tin...king😂
Perfect👍
Brilliant Del
Opps but good work sir 🥹
It's ok, just forgot that one last calculation..! Doh.
Did it matter that much,look good though
Perfect o
Oval holes. Slide along.
Cheap nasty solution..!
@@Moonfleet41 fair one Del
