Now all you got to do is hang on like blazes!!!🤣
Yeah.. looking forward to that..!🤣
I keep it stock, just as it came from the factory, - my use (bumps & scrapes)... ie price reduction...
Always worth a 'full & free' limit check with non-standard bar & riser combos, most fuel tanks I've met object to an unforeseen 'elbow' in their flanks at full lock, - especially on the test ride.
(A Matchless twin's tank, butchered onto an Ariel 350 field/trials iron with farm-shed roofing bolts & bungees. ('We were young!') Brum-brum, clunk, 10yds, crunch. most embarrassing : )xx
So cool that the bar clamps have a thought out adjustment- it's the little things that are appreciated like that! Ya, the bar ends look a little bit um... 50's bullet bra for this maybe. (not that there's anything wrong with that lol) I agree on perhaps a slightly less eye-pokey profile. 😁
Yeah, simple and effective, well thought out design, means you have an inch of fore & aft adjustment to fine tune the ride.. Thanks for yout support as always. D&Px
Yes I do like the straight handlebars on there......but the bar weights definitely need to get shortened and and rounded! Looking forward to the rest of the project!!
I'm of the age (OLD) where I can appreciate a more upright riding position. 😁 I see another viewer asked about the angle of the hydraulic reservoirs. I guess you would have to be careful the first time you removed the covers to check fluids. Amazing how small changes in the rider triangle can make a bike so much more comfortable. Blessings always to you and Penny. ❤👍👍
Sure thing Rick, in the sight glass the level of the fluid is correct and only just touching the lip of the reservoir with the cap off, so no fluid is bearing against the joint... and remember, the reservoirs are at this angle (specially the brake side), when the bike's on the side stand with the bars turned to the left in standard set up, the rubber seal keeps the fluid in so it's fine! Just as long as the feed holes at the bottom of the reservoir are covered which they very much are. Have a wonderful second half of your week mate, and yeah I agree, more upright riding agrees with old bones lol. D&Px
proper streetfighter! glad you went with the lower bars man, looks good, love the back to. hope you are doing well x
Thanks Piers, glad you approve!... Streetfighter stance is always comfortable and aggressive looking. Thank you so much for your constant support my friend.
Early on, dad told me to keep a rig Stock, as you will have the most potential buyers, because Factory is what sold. You change the wheels & tires, the next person may not like that... I happen to like the stock radio, & when I bought my MDX, it had an aftermarket CD, USB & all that, I put in a stock CD, for less than $70. So much better, I recycled the other.
You made me wondered bout long bars when the throttle side doesn't fit, sure enough, you mention how can be done. I've know people looked at it like a puzzle. Anyway, I like the rubber to reduce vibration, which helps long-distance rides. Lots pro and cons. 🤷♂️
Hi Penny and Del... great video! I've never seen regular bars mounted in place of clip-ons - that was an education. I like the tip of moving the bars over to get the throttle assembly on - I came across that trick when I changed the ignition on the ol' Bandit a few years ago. Take care, dear friends. Ride well and be safe!
Glad you enjoyed it mate.. im surprised you've not seen street bars on a sports bike.. it's pretty common now days.. and makes a huge difference to the feel and comfort..works both ways too, i had a bandit12 years ago with clip ons, great fun to ride and way more aggressive.! Enjoy your week and take care, and of course, thank you for your loyal support.. D&Px
Excellent video Del & Penny. Them bars look sweet mate, job well done. Penny and you enjoy the last part of your and stay safe. See you still have that bloody rain, hope it's not to cold , 35C here today. Cheers
Thanks mate 👍 and 35C!... we're about 30 degrees colder than that, but at least we have a little sunshine this week, and the evenings are getting longer! Enjoy your week there too, keep safe, D&Px
Hi Del and Penny, thank you for all the quality content and invaluable information over the years, you have got me out of many a pickle and given me the confidence to tackle jobs that had me sweating. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to make all these videos and imparting your knowledge onto others
Most welcome Jack, im glad the videos are able to help you out, We really appeciate your long term support.. Take care and ride safe aye !
It's already looking like a whole new bike.
Looking good with those bars Del ! The Busa is coming along really nicely ! Can't wait to see what else you do mate👍
Thanks Paul. 👍. Happy with the progress, lots still to do, but looking forward to getting out on it.
Consummate job.
How’s the rhs switchgear and cables at full lock?
Del I thought you where screwing Turnips in the end of the bars .😂
Hi Nick, thankfully as I've had these bars fitted before, the brake and clutch hoses were ordered precisely for the job and they reach just fine... and as the wiring used to run round the front of the nose cone, there's absolutely loads of it lol
Yes Del,👍
I can feel how it looks from here😂😉
deffo gives it the 'British Bulldog' stance/feel 👍
Not sure about them bar ends though, but it's not my bike 😁👍
Keep up the great work Del 'n' Pen 👍
Thanks Paul..👍 Looking forward to getting out on it.
Oh boy, you make it difficult to read your board of wisdom. Always worth it 👍
Here's a question for you. I have a zx6 converted to street fighter. My throttle cables bind and are slack even though i rerouted them. Does this not happen on the busa? And how would you rectify it
I just bought longer ones and followed the correct route.! and being new, they're silky and smooth ! Wemoto make to order !
That tail look fabulous on the bike, Del. I watched the full build of the bike from it's original guise, and this version looks so much sharper. I agree the bar end weights look a little too inspired by 'Madonna', something a bit less 'pointy' makes great sense.
Thanks mate, glad you approve!
cant wait to see the finished job del
awesome video brother !!!! bike is looking bad ass !!! good tip on installing the furniture on the handlebars, you just saved me a lot of time, keep up the good work brother !!! stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!!!!🍺🍺🍺🍺
I enjoy the re-modelling process Del.
Looking good!
Thanks mate. You and me both!
It is the simple things that make us comfortable on a bike. Nicely done.
Couldn't agree more!
I always wanted sit up bars on a 996 just for me....give it time...lol
Do it !
Its been 50 years since I bought a brand new Rickman Bonneville and occasionally I would take off the clip ons and fairing and put on bars like the Renthals you showed just for a change of riding position and the look of the bike. It made the bike look like a flat tracker.
Yeah, surprising how simply swapping bars can change ther whole style of a bike. !
Hi Del. Does doing this bar conversion affect the brake and clutch reservoirs work now that they are not level?
As long as the feed holes at the bottom are amply covered, (which they are), then you're fine.. no worries ! Remember, when the bars are turned to the left on the side stand.. the brake rez is at this angle anyway..
Good idea to get rid of the flex and make solid bushings. Good that you have a lathe and the skills. What are you going to do abput the triple clamp? Paint it with black. Nice little trick with the throttle housing, thanks. Günter/Nürnberg
Once the bike's all finished and the construction work done, and of course the dreaded wiring!, it'll be time to turn to the aesthetics, perhaps a re-paint, somthing simple!
Gotta love a fat bar 👍🏻 well done the pair of you.
Cheers buddy..
You got a serious wheelie machine now mate.awesome.
Thanks mate 👍, I have indeed!
Hi Del! Greetings from Germany! Love your work and your videos. Great Job👍
Thank you, good to hear from you, thanks for your support! Ride safe.
Not my type of bike Del but really enjoying the project👍
Fair enough, but thanks for watching mate!
What about a set of 955i Speedtriple, or 675 Street Triple round headlights, they would look awesome. I love the Steetfighter bars, they do look like they suit the bike just right. I`m really enjoying seeing this project done, as i said before, i never liked the bulky style of the Busa, so with these mods, she should look really good.
That would be cool Neil, i have a couple of handy 5" Bates round lights, standard stylee back in the day, and they'll look pretty much the same as early Speed Triple lights.. just got to make the mounts. !
Good style on it..
Thanks!
Places to Go, People to see...
Hope you can keep the front wheel down with that upright riding position :)
Ha ha.. ill do my best ..!
Nice little video Del, 'Long arms', Ya big Ape, lol
Yeah, pros and cons. !! lol
Formidable Del!!!
Looks good pal,bar end are a bit long,your right about taking a bit of them.
incredible my congratulations
Good job mate
Fantastic clip Del .
I have a 1998 mint zx9r which I’d like to get higher bars can you please tell me if this can be done in the ninja ?
Thanks
Dave
Yes, it can always be done, just need to work around the challenges to make the conversion..
@@Moonfleet41
Thanks Del 👍
Very cool bro
love it Del MOD 1 passed woohoo
Congratulations mate.. Good luck with the next step !
I've been thinking about this for my bike for some time now.
FJ12 handlebar conversion kit including bars £200.
Yeah, there's the locating pins inside the switchgear that go into standard bars.
I've seen them in aftermarket steel but not alu bars.
There is, of course, that video where you fitted renthel bars on your old bandit Del where you generally filed them down a bit. And they still grip.
Nothing like twisting the throttle and the switchgear slips
Never had one slip....ever ! The finish on alloy bars is textured rather than the shiny smooth of chrome. by all means drill your alloy bars if you wish, i just prefer not to mate.!
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍merci
Nice I’d love to do this to my gen 1 busa but like u said the hoses etc
On the Busa theres already plenty of wiring in the nose cone, just re-route it slightly, the throttle cables are cheap from wemoto, just go 2" longer.. and that just leaves clutch and brake hoses.. get yerself a quote buddy, it'll be pretty affordable.. the biggest headache is always the wiring, but not ona Busa !
Just my take on the project, but I might have experimented with turning the bars you selected around and rotating them downward for the old school cafe racer look. It might make the brake and clutch reservoirs mount more level as well.
Great to see how different bars work, looks a nice fix
Thanks mate👍, they do make a big different in one swap..!
I find myself in an unusual position today. It has always been my policy to offer up words of encouragement on a job well done ( when a job has indeed been well done ) on all channels that I follow on the interwebs and have never asked for anything in return, on this or any other channel. Today, I would like something back in return. I had no idea that I was lacking in the video watching enjoyment department, but I was shocked when I noticed a feeling of something missing, an epiphany, if you will... When you pulled your clutch-side grip off, there was that rubber-on-metal squeak... I found it very unsatisfying. Which brings me to my request... I would like this request filled by everyone out there, from now on, but things must all have a start, so since this lack that I feel was instigated by Delboy's GArage, it is only fitting that this channel rectify my complaint. At least one time, just once, I would like to hear a Duck Quack in place of that mundane rubber-metal squeak. All other aspects of the production are spot-on, as usual. Thank you for your consideration.
Duck Quack duly loaded and ready for next time sir..lol !
