These are the videos I love. Although paint and body is part of any build, it does not make for much entertainment. Im a fan!!!
Cheers Mike, much appreciate your kind support, I know some topics are not everyone's cup of tea which is why we try to mix them up a bit ! Thank You
Hi Del & Penny,
Enjoyable video!
Move any mountain bracket!
Should have been on that white board at your place, gonna get me coat and check the lathe video I've not seen it yet!
Love and respect
Warren
Cheers buddy, I like that, I spend most of the time when I'm filming in the garage doing manual stuff like filing and drilling trying to think of a song lyric, didn't think of that one lol !
Good work Del, looks great.
One thing to watch for is you should cover your lathe up while not in use, any amount of grinding dust that gets stuck in your ways or slides will chew them up over time. An old towel works well as this tends to stop condensation forming on it too which will prevent rust forming. Enjoy it and stay safe :)
Hi James, thanks for that grreat tip, I hadn't thought of that, it's priceless information mate, cheers!
@@delboydereuck6031 No worries! Stay safe :)
Why not simply fix the number plate bracket directly to the fibreglass, which you say is enormously thick? You can use brolley anchors or the special Rivnut fibreglass fixings. Adding another bracket just adds weight and provides yet another joint to fail and will be no stronger than fixing the tail tidy direct. Also, bending the bracket to the required angle is hardly a chore.
Cool bud , 'I can see the light !' Not long 👊😎
Sure thing mate, little closer every time... hope you're ok mate ?!
As one who has recently (last few months) come to your channel I have been enjoying following you various projects from the early builds (inc the trailer which I thought was fab!!), I have to say although it is quite a small part this is one of my favourites, that is one really tidy & beautiful piece of engineering! Personally I wouldn't cut that 25mm hole since that is where the bend might go if needed & also would cross the point where it meets the tail piece making a breach which would allow water etc into the space beyond! Whatever you do though, keep up the great work and many thanks for sharing this stuff with us all!! :)
Regards, Dave (of Dave's Project Corner (youtube channel) up here in the sunny Lakes!). ;)
Hi Dave, good to hear from you, and thanks so much for your kind words mate, it's really cool to inspire a new subscriber and thanks so much for your kind feedback, glad you enjoy the videos, will check out channel too! Stay in touch, all the best, Del
Del, when I first saw 'fighter build' tittle I thought not my thing, then way back I watched one.
Now I love the vlogs, rivetted infact!!
Your approach to problems and your solutions are very good. I'm loving this series.
Thanks Nicholas, that's very kind, I myself follow car builds and even a guy who makes clocks, I don't see that then genre is that important if the quality of the videos is good and it's also interesting to watch... appreciate your support, welcome aboard!
Smart looking tail tidy Del, looking forward to seeing the bike all black for a walk around maybe?
Thanks buddy, ill hope to have it in paint by next weekend, but for this coming Saturday im gonna make my first ever Lathe project.. just a little single video job to ge used to the machine.. then back to the build.. i want to see that all black walk round myself too..
I learned quite a lot from your links in response to mine on the previous video! Who knew Grobet were such great files. I have a small set on the way from Fleabay. Also, Smithy Industries has a lathe/milling machince/drill press combo in one machine. Who knew such a thing existed! As you probably know, there are several videos on UA-cam on turning a drill press into a milling machine. Among other things, this video taught me that a horizontal band saw can have an attachment to use it as a vertical one. Again, who knew! Keep up the great work!
Hi Jeff... thats the greatest thing about UA-cam aye.. so much free information aye. Tale care buddy, and thanks for your support.. Del.
Very nice job again 👍.
Good to hear the support you're getting with lathe 😊.
Thanks Christopher, we've been blown away mate !
@@Moonfleet41 the expectations are high now 😁 😁
I love that we all can see all the fabrication that you do on this Beast and your skill level went so hi Delboy can't wait for next video ride safe my friend
Thank you Kris, you are very kind my friend.
great job, which is the norm with you. workmanship is top notch.
Thanks Paul, you're very kind mate.
One thing to set things in place before fiberglass work is filler as in easy sand body filler, obviously plenty of harderner so it's a bit punky, then hold it for about 2mins and done. Solid enough to start chucking your strand matt over
I like your thinking buddy... genius idea..!
Lovely looking bracket and a good idea of how to mount it. You are doing a fantastic job Del, you sound a little uncertain about this. Have a bit more faith in yourself, the idea is sound and so are the materials you are using. Nice piece of craftsmanship making that bracket.
Thank you Andy, just making sure im getting the best result i can, there is always a better way to do a job if you have enough time and materials.. I love making the metal parts, its such a great feeling to create things from raw materials aye... Thanks for your kind words mate..
looking good del, amazing fab work as always. excited to see her roll down the road! hopefully before winter hits!
Thanks mate, struggling hard to keep it on schedule, where does the time go aye?! But am determined to make it happen !
And it's name shall be Elegant Beef. Nice design and fabrication, Del. 👍
Thanks Keith, that's too kind mate...
I noticed a new editing style, LOVE IT! Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Thanks Mike, well you know where it all started sat here helping me out with it... i guess practice makes you better aye..! Thanks for your kind words and support brother... We hope you and Melly are both well and enjoying life.. Miss you both lots and lets catch up soon aye... Say hi to Chris from us too... D&Px
Oo, careful with the rotary 'ghetto' file, those things snap like carrots & you don't want to fall across a razor sharp pointy spinny thing that's just shed it's tail in a fit of torque & gone all random. (If you must, used a short piece from 'one you broke earlier' : ) x
Sure thing buddy, ghetto always has it's dangers, but it teaches you that little bit more care !!
You need Delboy's Garage coffee mug 🙃👍
Have a couple buddy, are you bringing the cakes??!
@@Moonfleet41 oh good! I'll bring the cakes. Might take a while. I'm on tue the other side of the world 😂
@@Nitroturbohead No problem! come via the Pacific and across South America, that way the world's turning the other way so you'll arrive the same time you left lol
@@Moonfleet41 I'm coming. I'l be there last week 👍
Hello my dear friend 😀
Creative
It's the word!! 🤘
Always the best Del
Pending and supporting 👍
Best wishes buddy 😉
Thank you David, it's always good to hear from you, thank you so much for your constant support!
@@Moonfleet41 always it's a pleasure buddy 😉
Best wishes 😀🤘
Lovely piece of fabrication again Del. Great work
Thanks buddy, appreciated!
Looking good Del
Thanks mate, appreciated!
dont forget you need a liight on the plate!
Apparently not any more Mack , obviously if it's there it has to work, but like indicators, on a pre-1985 bike if they're not fitted at all, then that's fine...
Fair enough Pal. Looking forward to the next vid!
The issue with the bracket will be the wind / water loading on the number plate which will stress the fiberglass over time. I guess you'll find out when you ride it.
Stress the fibre glass? It's 1/2" thick and box section... I reckon I'll only have a problem like you say if someone fires a howitazer ha ha
something that might come in handy is the machinerys hand book
forgot to mention.
heres a link to where you can download the pdf of the 29th edition

Thanks for the link Bazz, will look it out, much appreciate your kind help mate...
Nice tail tidy del interested to see what you use for number plate light too 👍 loved the butter fingers moment 😂😂😂 keep on making this bike awsome 🏍️👍🏍️
Thanks buddy, close moment there, hard edged steel item, dropped close to fresh paint work.. makes you giggle with nerves..lol No number plate light needed now either, so it'll go on as it is..!
Gotta love the puns on the board.
Just a bit of fun mate, keeps our brains working trying to think em up !
Great job bud, make sure it’s good and strong, you don’t want it coming off when it scrapes the road due to the odd wheelie or two 😉🤘🤘
Thanks buddy, you know me sooooo well lol
Bish , Bash, Bosh, Del. Then it was done, as if by magic. Great stuff mate, but did it need to be Centurion tank armour plating ?
You know me mate, gotta be beef lol... just using up some spare sheet I had , cheers!
I've used gorilla glue before to fix my dogs harness, worked great for ages until I tried to show someone how strong it was and pulled the fix apart lol Nice tail tidy though and I'm sure the epoxy resin is better that their glue :)
Hi buddy, the glue itself is an epoxy, but every glue has it's limits! I will be fibre glassing the bracket in place, burying it completely under 1/4" of matting and resin, meaning that I will, eventually, have two re-infornced captive threads that I can winch the bike up by, the glue here is just to hold it till I fibre glass it !
The gorilla product you used is different to their glue I used, it looks that way anyway and the one I used is probably fine for most things, not sure why it failed on me. I wet the surface as the glue reacts to it and held it under pressure for 24 hours as the directions suggested too, using G-clamps and cardboard to stop the clamp sticking. I'm sure it will be fine without the fibre glass but don't blame you using it to make sure.
if you keep going like this youll be King Horse !!
👍☮❤
Damn, I thought I'd gotcha with that one! I reckon you're Googling these, that or you're Mike Reid in disguiuse!
@@Moonfleet41 what Elvis Costello ? it was hardly vague after all i was an 80s teenager into new wave punk 2 tone and metal...☮
i am the music encyclopedia the one everybody asks at work ...who sung that " ill tell them the band members names what year it was who produced it etc etc .... yes im a complete anorak ..you need to dig harder me duck
....im sure you'll find one i dont know after all "accidents will happen " sree what i did there ?
ok enough of this !!
👍☮❤
Right, Game on then, gauntlet down, and ill fidn one you don;t know, just you see if i don't..lol Same era as you, same music tastes.. so im gonna have to dig outside my own comfort zone, there's gonna be tears before bedtime..! muah ha ha..!
@@Moonfleet41
let the games commence !!!
you are a diamond geezer getting serious just the kind of guy who makes you delirious !!
👍☮❤🤘🏻
A nice small Plasma cutting unit would be nice.
I'll pop it on my dream list mate !
I just love getting tools. Another great vid/job
Nice bit of fab work Del, moving along nicely. One job close to MOT day mate. Penny and you have good week. Cheers
Thank you most kindly Sir, have a great week yourself, thank you, as always, for your support, D&Px
Geez! You've got humongous license plates over there... we used to have that big plates back in the 50'ies here en sweden.... good job with that holder, looks clean and nice
Yeah, bad luck i guess, they tell us that the Police cameras can read even the dealer address along the bottom of the plate, so why do they still need to be as big as a garage door..!:-(
In sweden the speed/police cameras takes pictures of the front plate of vehicles and since motorcycles doesn't have one... hehe ..
aha, exactly the same here, but if you're passing one on the other side of the road, they can get you from behind as you go by ... time to dodge lol
Proper job. Many thanks
Cheers Stewart !
Looking good nice fabrication job, how will the plate be illuminated?
Have a good week yourself.👍🏻
Hi Peter, no longer a requirement mate...
Moonfleet41 really!! I never knew that. See Del Boy the font of all things about bikes.👍🏻😂
Very far from it mate, in fact I was gonna use tow of those LED number plate screws to light it up as the wiring is there from the old tail, but many viewers in the comments told me that firstly they're rubbish and they fail in a few weeks, and also that you don't need them anyway, so I checked with the MOT guy and he said the same, if they're not fitted they don't have to be there!! But if they're fitted, then they must be working.... oh well, one less job to do aye lol !
Great vid and craftsmanship but to be completely honest not a big fan of that epoxy part, but it’s your bike and project and I’m not here to judge jejeje
Still loved the bracket you made from scratch!
I wanne see that bike on the road man!!!!
Sure thing Steven, it's always a trade off, it's purely there to hold the bracket and add a little strength to the main support which will be the fibre glass, strand matting and resin, to be done this weekend! Thanks for your kind support my friend, always good to hear from you !
Great job del
And the next video, a scriber!
You got a camera in my garage ??!!! Filming it today buddy...!!!
Fantastic Dell,,,,great job,,,
Nice little tail tidy.
got to ask in law or for MOT is there a angle that the plate is meant to be at or dose it matter at all ??
Not sure on the precise chapter and verse buddy, but believe currently it needs to be in an upright position in the centre of the bike and clearly visible from the rear !
Sweet work, Del! Does the MOT there allow number plates attached sideways attached to the swing arm area? I see that a lot here in the states on custom bikes. Reason I ask is I wonder whether you future exhaust routing will still fit under the seat now?
🏍👍🏍
Hi Gary.. no, sadly not any more.. in recent time the rules have been clamped down on.. a lot of "side mount' plates started appearing on 'Bobbers' and custom brat style bikes.. but it was never really correct.. the plate must be on the rear of the bike in an upright position.. you know how it is, a lot of what you see is people pushing their luck.
Moonfleet41 ok I see. So do you think you will have enough clearance for the pipes to come out from under the seat, Del?
Not exactly a regular tubular pipe, no. So I'll have to get creative with the shapes of the ducting if I'm gonna do it at all... it will be a project for next year and I guess I'll just have to get creative !!
Moonfleet41 gotcha! Sounds like fun.
bravissimo !!!!!
Grazie amico
Hats off to you del im really enjoying the bike build journey, take care mate . Im thinking discovery channel and the like will come knocking on you're door again lol.
Hi Steven, wouldn't that be a priviledge, who knows what the future holds, it's no uncommon now for You Tube creators to get 'recruited' by the mainstream... thanks for your kind support mate...
Nice job del it's gunna look great mate
(P) Looks wicked, look forward to the paint & fitting 👍🏻
Thanks mate, always good to hear from you mate, see you soon?!
Ah now those lyrics I got straight away, as they keep playing it on Absolute 90's lol. Don't mind the Chilli's, but not normally my kind of music. Anyway enough DJ talk, lol, nice job matey, better than most shop bought ones I've seen lately, ...... BEEF!!! RSM8
The Chillis? I had no idea they'd done it, if my memory serves me it was 1980's Elvis Costello, but you know how good songs are, they get covered and covered !
Ooops, think I got the wrong song then, I thought it was Californication but Costello didn't do that one lol
ha ha..erm no..!
Del everything you do now must somehow incorporate the lathe 😂
Penny's prob using it to trim a Swiss roll : )
james goodwin: Now there's a challenge lol !
As always great work. But got to ask why so beef? It's only a number plate.
irrespective of the weight, the big daft plates we have to have still catch a fair bit of wind at speed !
@@Moonfleet41 fair enough. Just wondering if its a vicious cycle.... Beef fixing needs beef reinforcing because of a beef steel bracket, etc. etc.
Yes...
Do you need a light on the plate in the UK?
NO Gary, not required so im told, and the guy who is going to do my MOT test is happy without one... its a weird law they say "if it is fitted, then i must work, but if not fitted, then thats fine"..
nice !!
Morning del
What's that device at 8:50, that squeezed in the threaded pieces for the bolts, please?
Watch this video.ua-cam.com/video/tNELeCoZy4Y/v-deo.html
Peaceful Jeff: Hi Jeff, it's basically a giant rivet gun that can crush the riv nuts which need a lot more force than a regular pop rivet !
cool
nice job big man atb iain
👍
What tools did you use at 8:52?
Hi Jim, thatis a heavy duty manual riveter, it will secure pop rivets and riv nuts up to 10mm dia.
@@Moonfleet41 thank for the info, sick build man, keep making diy or fabrication video like this, i think some of people like me dig it!
Mmm i would have made it from 3mm Aluminium i think...
Me too if i had some, just using up some scrap i had.
👍
