Love the home made "Crayon tops" and the covers came out looking perfect. When this scoot is done, Triumph should be thanking you, this is how the bike should've been built. I have a 2 into 1 RB LSR exhaust on my 2002 Train. The exhaust system comes with solid Aluminum gaskets instead of using the standard crush gaskets and are a pain in the arse when installing, work great and are reusable. I solved this problem by using Hylomar to keep the gaskets in place. Great work Del! 🍻
Fantastic finish on the engine casings, looks like brand new. Love seeing it all slowly coming together and really looking forward to the day this beauty hits the road again Del 🏁
Good morning bro, wow another job very well done. I can't add anything but THANKS. Oh...I guess in a pinch you could have small funnels to hold the case covers up, but with a lathe and some round stock plastic it's done and reusable!
I love the positive action of the smaller increment torque wrenches, so satisfying. Some of the in/oz screw drivers I use are substantially more engaging than my ft/lbs torque wrenches. Great job as always and can’t wait for the next video!
Nice video..... The other day i replaced my front sprocket after 4k miles...Excellent tip , thanks for that one..25 years as a motorcycle courier, so many chains n sprockets , i wish i knew sooner.. :)

Great job on the covers, Del... I love the look of the black with shiny bolts - reminds me of the gearbox cover of a Rolls-Royce Merlin. And as always, a great video by both of you.
Another masterful display of workmanship and intuitive tips and knowledge of which I am so grateful to see. I am already subscribed but it's time to become a Patron to support you and the channel.
hi del great job on the covers mate,also a good job on the lathe ,i last used one at school in 1972 it was a lot bigger or i was smaller a wonderful looking bike del
Hey Dean, before I bought this little lathe, I was exactly the same, hadn't laid hands on one since '78, but you never loose the skills, once the principles are clear... and they were bigger mate, way bigger!... they were usually something like a Colchester or Bridgeport engineering lathe, probably weighed the thick end of a ton, and they're like gold dust now, if you can even find one in working order... I only bought this little one to see if I would make use of it and now that I do, I'm always on the look out for a big ol' machine, but they're either clapped out and need restoring with most of the parts missing, or the price of a family car, and I know I couldn't justify that, so I press on with the little one.
Nice casing 'legs' - for when all those spare silicon nozzles lying around in drawers don't . . . quite reach. I must admit to hoarding old plastic engine bungs, packing pieces & squidgy nipple caps (don't ask) for just this kind of thing, well similar. What chance a 'Hurricane Night-fighter' in all black then? - maybe a stubby 'ray gun' can, or two; plus nav. lights? : ) xx
Tried the silicone nozzles, but didn't have a wide enough base and were just too unstable, so what the hell, grabbed the Delrin and spun a few off... but great to hoard things, and no we won't ask ha ha... Happy Easter, have fun! D&Px
Love your invention, wish I had a lathe, I could probably use some long nuts and bolts as supports, the Engine is looking really smart now, I always put a thin lair of grease on cylinder head gaskets too, nice job Del looking forward to the next update, cheers ⚙️🔩🔧👍
Hi Del & Penny, I noticed on the clutch refit there looked like in the middle there was a spring plate. On my xl1200 I actually removed the GRENADE plate. Hope Triumph ones are more reliable. Nice work on a classic Hinkley Triumph, nice one Del
Nice work on those covers. Funny. Always when I paint something with rattlecans I always have lots of dust landing in it. Even though I mask the surrounding area en wet the floor even. Or when everything goes well on the last coat the spray nozzle splatters and blobs of paint ruin everything. Really frustrating. Anyway. Great to see you're both doing well and staying free of this covid virus. Kind regards Dieter
hi Del, nice to see you annealing the copper washer. Thought I would mention this before all the pedants complain about not using a new washer. I have used Hylmer blue for many years, good stuff. I have never used the paint you are using but will take your word on how tough it is. I used to stove enamel engine casings then get a huge bollak*** for making the oven stink of paint for the next week :)
Sure thing mate, copper washers are practically infinite, you can use them over and over... just a case of rubbing the nicks out so they're nice and flat... give the Tough Paint a try, it's a flexible stone chip paint that actually works really well, and I prefer it to powder coat, I've chipped powder coat plenty of times, but once this stuff is cured, which does take a little while, I've dropped spaners, screwdrivers and all sorts on it and it just bounces off, plus it's really thick so it coats up in 3 layers and floats out really smooth, as you can see... !
Looking really good. Have always used Blue Hylomar, it's what my dad told me to use years ago because that's what he used so must have been around for years. Still the best, my son uses it as well now so that's 3 generations 😳
outstanding job on the lathe brother !!! i need one of those in my garage . the level of detail you put in your work is great to watch 👏 keep up the great work brother !!!! stay safe guys !!! cheers from new york
A lathe? You won't regret it... and as soon as you start using one, you wonder what you did without it!... Thanks again for your kind support bruv, take care both.
That oil pan copper ring heating and letting it cool down in the air just hardens it. If you want to soften it, you need to cool it down fast (in the water) :)
No need to overthink it mate, it doesn't need full annealing, just normalising, heat it up, drop it on a cold metal vice and you can bend it with your fingers, try it for yourself bud, works every time!
Do you use the hylomar blue on every gasket for all bikes? Harley primary for example? And why the grease on the opposite side? Thank you for all the videos
Curious... maybe dumb question... why soo many plates , I’d be scared take clutch apart but you made it clear is simple to inspect , easy replace if necessary. How long they last? Normally??
Hi Ian, thanks mate, the link is directly under the video In the description, marked "Wiha T-Bar Torque Wrench".. just click and it'll take you to the Spanner monkey site... they're in stock mate..!
Thanks for the great tips for gasket sealing👍👍. Always a frustrating time scraping 😡. Do you have a reliable bike breaker you could recommend?? Or provide a link to one who can ship to the States please. I have a project that may need some hard to find items here (Yamaha TDM850MK1 3VD). They are quite rare in the States. As always,, thanks for the great content 👍. Cheers 🍻, G.
Hi buddy, TDM850's are rare over here was well, it was the all too common combination of a short production run followed by them being a popular commuter and every day bike, so they never got cherished, just used and as a result, same as you, there are very few left... and the whole bike breaker business over here has been mopped up by two companies who control the market, nobody really buys bikes to break any more, on a commercial basis, the large powerful salvage companies reserve them from the insurance companies before they're even written off, going straight from the crash site to Universal Salvage and sold as crash repairables, they don't really get parted out like they used to. So we're just down to the rare individuals who do it on their own bikes when they are past repairing... best of luck with your project mate!
Hey Dan, we're fine, busier than ever, and really looking forward to the weekend at last..maybe get out for a ride on the Shed Wing and see what's left of the world after a year of lock down.. Wishing you both a great and happy Easter, ride safe and keep in touch buddy.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 all good here mate, so looking forward to the long weekend. I'm out on the bike tomorrow so hoping for a nice dry 200 mile trip around Wales 😊 take care both and ill see you soon.
'Del Boys a clever old soul a clever old soul is he With a rod of delrin here and a rod of delrin there he has a great bit of gear. A touch of blue polymer here and a touch of blue polymer there he has saved the casings from wear. A click on the torque wrench here and a click there and another great vid is ready to air' 😀😳 Sorry couldn't resist - must get out on the bike 👍
Hey Del, I was just wondering if you could put a message in your next video. The other day I witnessed the aftermath of an accident involving a fellow biker and a van here in England. I arrived seconds after the accident and rushed over to help. It was not nice and was not pretty. The biker was clearly deceased and it is not a nice thing to witness, it will stay with me for the rest of my life. Knowing that a family will have that knock on their door from the police is just gut wrenching and also everyone involved that day from witnesses, people involved and the emergency services...just think how many people one accident has affected. So please can you put a message out to all drivers and bikers to stay safe. Regards, Elliot
Hi Elliot, first of all, extending our sympathies to the family of the poor rider, and it's clear that you were affected by being involved with that, it does indeed have a profound effect to witness the end of a life, something we take for granted and the sudden realisation of how fragile it is. You are indeed right, there are a small army of people involved in such a situation, right through to counselors at the end of the journey for those who made it through... there have even been commercials on TV by the NHS demonstrating this and, of course, the very famous TAC adverts from Australia which were an attempt to drive home a hard message bout road safety. It's at this time of the year with the first bright days of Spring that riders can finally feel the opportunity to enjoy their bikes after a long winter, of either tip toeing around upright on wet, greasy roads or not riding at all, and that period of reduced or zero practice can make us vulnerable to make mistakes and there is a definite increase in bike vs. vehicle collisions this time of year, and I imagine it could be worse this year given that we are only just emerging from lock down... so you are correct, we must all take the greatest care, ride slow, think twice and plan every move carefully... it wouldn't actually be out of place for any of us who've had a season off the road to contact the sterling Advanced riding instructors out there and book a day on the road with them to sharpen up our skills and wake up our awareness again... that would certainly be money well invested. As you may well know, safety is a message we've promoted for 10yrs, and at the end of every single video, every time, I end with the roads 'take it easy, ride safe, and see you next time'... and never more than now is that message been so appropriate. Thank you for sharing that story Elliot, move on from it my friend, I've seen and attended a few myself, and it becomes part of your armour to guard you through the dangerous times, Del
@@Moonfleet41 thank you for your kind words Del and great advice. I myself am guilty of being stupid on a bike and taking risks, as are a lot of bikers (not all), and if we are truly honest with ourselves we sometimes have that invincible feeling..."ahh that won't happen to me".... I just think that we all need a slap around the face sometimes and for someone to tell us how it is, how bad it can be and what can happen. I really appreciate your videos and message at the end of each video Del but I wish I could reach all the people you can with your videos just to really drive it home to people and to remind them of the ultimate price. Ride safe and keep up the great work Del and Penny.
Hi mate, anything touching the paint at all would mark it when it's still soft, even soft cotton wool would leave a little pattern in it, specially as you have to press down on the casing to lock the gasket in to place, so this was by far the safest way!
Hey Gary, Thank you most kindly Sir, Im pretty happy with it so far and not too far to go as well.. just a few more small jobs to go, then time to decide on the paint..!
got a question, pulling a spare divi900s engine apart in a little whiles time. Theres only 1 gasket in the engine, everthing else seems to be metal to metal. The engines never leaked when it was in the bike. Yamaha according to the micrfiche didnt do any other gaskets for the bike. DO I.. go with the blue and put a bit on as a "just in case" or metal to metal as its intended? What do you think?
Del, is this bike anything like a Tiger 800? I have a very specific question about the end of the shaft that holds the front sprocket on. Can we exchange a few e-mails?
Hi there, the second spray was a product called GT85, it's a silicone based product that does many things, it lubricates, protects and leaves a shine, a little like WD40, but not oil based... the silicone is good for rubber, plastics and engine casings, helps to keep the water out and protect the finish!
I am learning a lot from your channel mate. My clutch needs to be replaced and was wondering what is the best gasket now i know ty Del. The covers look awesome great job😎👍
Looks good as always, my brother! I did notice you have good ol' Charlie C. overlooking the progress! I know it has nothing to do with the bike, but being a Chaplin fan, it did make my day.
Now I knew we had a connection, greatest comedian of all time and the speech in The Dictator was probably the best piece of celluloid in history, they should damn well play it in schools on a weekly basis, bring some of the venom of society under control, a great man indeed Brother. Have a great weekend both of you, and keep safe!
Cheers mate, I did think of that, but they were too narrow at the base and would just fall over, you can't rely on them wedging in the holes, I was more confident with the big wide base and the plastic cones being solid rather than hollow!
@@Moonfleet41 If you cut the tops off used tubes they’d give the nozzles a larger footprint & you could fix them to a board for added stability. It might help if they were old nozzles full of hardened silicone/adhesive too!
Ha ha.. well, maybe, still haven't chosen the colour and the final paint is fast approaching..! have a good weekend both of you and keep safe mate.. D&Pxx
@@robinroma6285 Good luck with it mate, if you get stuck, look up Wurth TimeSert, they do specialised sump plug repair inserts you can fit without removing the sump.
Lovely job as always brother . I'm waiting for someone to tell you you should have primed the oil filter ..ha ...imagine the mess !! Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
You know it brother, or may I should have soaked it for 24hrs first, because that amount of absorption could be dangerous and someone could get hurt, honestly I should know better... anyway, I'm off to juggle some axes and throw chainsaws... pippety pip, Happy Easter, D&Px
Del's vids on painting engine cases are a cleverly disguised argument for chrome.
Alternative to those stilts would be gripfill plastic nozzles which are free and don’t require nylon blocks or a lathe
Sure that would be a good and cheap solution. But if I had a lathe I would just look for excuses to make something, like nylon pinecones
I would have made them from wood. Because I have woodworking tools.
You do the best you can with what you got at hand.
An alternative to fixing a bike would be to buy a new one. The journey is the fun.
@@newbelgium4
Dumb comment, merely pointing out alternative as not everyone has the use of a lathe
@@nicholaslester9693 Thank you for pointing out an obvious solution, I apologize for not lauding your genius.
Hylomar blue ordered. Learn something new everyday.. (and I've been spannering for 30+yrs)
Good move Sir, give it a try, you won't regret it, it works a treat, just don't use too much, only needs a think layer!
Love the home made "Crayon tops" and the covers came out looking perfect. When this scoot is done, Triumph should be thanking you, this is how the bike should've been built. I have a 2 into 1 RB LSR exhaust on my 2002 Train. The exhaust system comes with solid Aluminum gaskets instead of using the standard crush gaskets and are a pain in the arse when installing, work great and are reusable. I solved this problem by using Hylomar to keep the gaskets in place. Great work Del! 🍻
Fantastic finish on the engine casings, looks like brand new. Love seeing it all slowly coming together and really looking forward to the day this beauty hits the road again Del 🏁
Now that was clever, however i dont have a lathe but i do have a 3D printer👍
Hi buddy, that would be as good as any lathe for a job like this... great when a job can be done by applying either the old world or the new!
Good morning bro, wow another job very well done. I can't add anything but THANKS. Oh...I guess in a pinch you could have small funnels to hold the case covers up, but with a lathe and some round stock plastic it's done and reusable!

As you may well know, safety is a message we've promoted for 10yrs, and at the end of every single video, every time, I end with the roads 'take it easy, ride safe, and see you next time'... and never more than now is that message been so appropriate. Thank you for sharing that story Elliot, move on from it my friend, I've seen and attended a few myself, and it becomes part of your armour to guard you through the dangerous times, Del
@@Moonfleet41 thank you for your kind words Del and great advice. I myself am guilty of being stupid on a bike and taking risks, as are a lot of bikers (not all), and if we are truly honest with ourselves we sometimes have that invincible feeling..."ahh that won't happen to me".... I just think that we all need a slap around the face sometimes and for someone to tell us how it is, how bad it can be and what can happen. I really appreciate your videos and message at the end of each video Del but I wish I could reach all the people you can with your videos just to really drive it home to people and to remind them of the ultimate price.
Ride safe and keep up the great work Del and Penny.
Any reason to use that lathe, well done! Love how much attention you pay to details... always a pleasure to watch.
Fantastic job Del! As usual ;) Could you not have used a rubber helmet doughnut to rest your covers on to work on them? Love the content as usual.
Hi mate, anything touching the paint at all would mark it when it's still soft, even soft cotton wool would leave a little pattern in it, specially as you have to press down on the casing to lock the gasket in to place, so this was by far the safest way!
@@Moonfleet41 ahh fair enough! Good to know, thanks! I would definitely have made that mistake. Cheers 🤘🏻
Great video loads of tips del engine casings look fantastic happy Easter to you and penny stay safe 🇬🇧👍
Thanks Richard, that was a nervous day, but all back together with no damage, happy teddy... have a good weekend you too mate, enjoy the holiday. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 thanks 🇬🇧👍
Del, you’re redefining “better than new”... magnificent work, Mate! Hope you both are doing well there! 🏍👍🏍
Hey Gary, Thank you most kindly Sir, Im pretty happy with it so far and not too far to go as well.. just a few more small jobs to go, then time to decide on the paint..!
@@Moonfleet41 Sweet! 😎
I've said it before, the best way to start a weekend is a visit to DelboysGarage, as for the cunning plan, I love cunning plans👍
Thanks buddy, have a great weekend!
if the side of the grease is not leaking oil why do you use a paste on the other side is only a questin del 😉
Looks awesome Del. Whole bike is looking like it’s straight out the box 👍 well done mate can’t wait to see the finished product 😊
Did you
Reuse the crush washer ?
Interesting looking oil filter 😲
(P) Nice result. Love the DELrin cones. Hope you both enjoy the long weekend.
Hey buddy, simple and effective aye, enjoy the weekend too, hope you have some fun family time planned!
Great job and video... Cheers
Thank you, cheers Frank, great to hear from you Sir, have a great holiday weekend!
I love it when a plan comes together! Nice trick with tripod support to protect the paint finish, just about ready for a test drive, happy Easter!
Thanks buddy, yeah, happy i didn't mark anything, and not long now, you're right.! have a great weekend and keep safe. Del.
got a question, pulling a spare divi900s engine apart in a little whiles time. Theres only 1 gasket in the engine, everthing else seems to be metal to metal.
The engines never leaked when it was in the bike.
Yamaha according to the micrfiche didnt do any other gaskets for the bike.
DO I.. go with the blue and put a bit on as a "just in case" or metal to metal as its intended?
What do you think?
Great job bro and I hope all's well with the family..you a great weekend and stay bless true God man and be safe ❤👏👍
Hey brother, good to hear from you, and thank you for your kind words... wishing you a Happy Easter weekend, enjoy the holiday and take care, D&Px
Finished bike.. next videos is for private???
Del, is this bike anything like a Tiger 800? I have a very specific question about the end of the shaft that holds the front sprocket on. Can we exchange a few e-mails?
Sure thing sir, drop me a line to delboysgarage@yahoo.com, Happy to help. !
Good tip for gasket,s good video
Such a pleasure to watch Del The Motorcycle Master Wizard at Work you have more apprentices than Merlin ;-)
Thank you kindly Sir, just sharing the basics, these jobs are nothing we can't do for ourselves!
Brilliant
Mint.... proper enjoyed that... thanks so much for taking the time to film and share. Mack Huddersfield
Most welcome Mack. Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome vid Del, as always. The stands you made to prevent scratches on the covers is quite inventive! You never cease to amaze me sir. Cheers!
Thank you Sir, just a little bit of common sense thinking, it's so important not to scratch those casings after they came out so well!
Ay up,what was the spray you used on the covers after you put them on? Many thanks.
Hi there, the second spray was a product called GT85, it's a silicone based product that does many things, it lubricates, protects and leaves a shine, a little like WD40, but not oil based... the silicone is good for rubber, plastics and engine casings, helps to keep the water out and protect the finish!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for replying Delboy. I'll be getting some.
Immaculate Del - what is the spray you used for cleaning the casings with after you fitted them? 👍
Hi Richard, thanks mate, that's just GT85, a simple silicone spray, good for all sorts of uses from lubricating rubber to detailing!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks Del
hy y got a honda cbr 600f...runs owt of gas ..i clan all stuf but still runs for 5-6 mins then runs owt of gas .what y doo too fix it?what y cek?ty
Love watching your vids del very informative stay safe

Parts for triumph motor cycle
Hi, please can you tell me where the voltage regulator is ? I have a Triumph Legend tt 900 and i dont found It , 😭charge too much. Thank you
The reg is in the top of the altenator case, unbolt the 3 nuts on top of the case and remove the top, the reg is in the top facing you!
@@Moonfleet41 thank you so much , we looked one day, dismantled the motorbike to find it. Usually you see It.
Loved it as usual 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much Pete 😀
Awesome Job, Happy April To Penny and You Del.
Hey Paul, good to hear from you, have a great weekend Sir, keep safe and take care.. D&Pxx
@@Moonfleet41 D&P Have A Wonderful Weekend And Ride &Stay Safe.

Hi Geoff, you too, have a great weekend and we hope you're feeling well and fully recovered, take care, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 👍x
Looking good Del🥰
Thanks Gerry, much appreciated mate 👍
I am learning a lot from your channel mate. My clutch needs to be replaced and was wondering what is the best gasket now i know ty Del. The covers look awesome great job😎👍
Looks good as always, my brother! I did notice you have good ol' Charlie C. overlooking the progress! I know it has nothing to do with the bike, but being a Chaplin fan, it did make my day.
Now I knew we had a connection, greatest comedian of all time and the speech in The Dictator was probably the best piece of celluloid in history, they should damn well play it in schools on a weekly basis, bring some of the venom of society under control, a great man indeed Brother. Have a great weekend both of you, and keep safe!
All the links doesn't work 😟
All links are working!
del i hate to say it but, would not the screw on ends of mastic tubes saved you a lot of mess?,although i know you like clearing up !
Cheers mate, I did think of that, but they were too narrow at the base and would just fall over, you can't rely on them wedging in the holes, I was more confident with the big wide base and the plastic cones being solid rather than hollow!
@@Moonfleet41 If you cut the tops off used tubes they’d give the nozzles a larger footprint & you could fix them to a board for added stability. It might help if they were old nozzles full of hardened silicone/adhesive too!
@@Moonfleet41 polycell caulk nozzles have a wide base for stability ,look just like your finished product
Looks fantastic!
Great tip on the gasket sealing also.
All the best to you and Penny 🙂
Good evening Harold, Good to hear from you Sir, we hope you well and looking forward to the holiday weekend.. Keep safe and have fun.. D&Pxx
dogs bollocks del looks like a brand new bike atb m8 iain

Hey Tony, thank you for your kind words mate... have a great weekend and keep safe. Del.
Coming along nicely, what a beautiful bike!
Lovely job on those cases mate, engine looks a treat 👍
Lovely jubbley Del and nice to see the air ratchet making an appearance 👍
Cheers buddy, I thought it deserved an outing!
Watching this having just stripped my sump plug thread... Hurts.
Sorry to hear that Rob.. you can buy some pretty effective inserts for them if you're stuck..!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks Del, I'm going to try a longer plug for the time being. 👍
@@robinroma6285 Good luck with it mate, if you get stuck, look up Wurth TimeSert, they do specialised sump plug repair inserts you can fit without removing the sump.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks Del 👍👍
Is a perfect job, and very clean!
The sweep of that exhaust you made does look great👍
Thanks Richard👍, really appreciate that, it came out better than I expected!
Ooo its comin together!!!
Attention to detail, cracking job.
Many thanks!
Lovely job as always brother . I'm waiting for someone to tell you you should have primed the oil filter ..ha ...imagine the mess !! Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
You know it brother, or may I should have soaked it for 24hrs first, because that amount of absorption could be dangerous and someone could get hurt, honestly I should know better... anyway, I'm off to juggle some axes and throw chainsaws... pippety pip, Happy Easter, D&Px
Getting there 😎👍
As usual, perfect job!
Thank you, cheers!
