Hiya Penny and Del - great video! Once again your fabrication skills are on display and once again you've come through. Really impressive work, that, especially considering it was done on a machine not designed for that purpose... but as they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat! Great result - looking forward to the next one! Take care, dear friends. Be wall, ride safe, and I hope you had a great weekend!
Why not use Aluminium ? Seems very heavy part
Don't have the equipment to weld aluminium, and as ive already said, it would have had two big clocks on there and a cast metal mount.. so this is a fraction of that !
Nice work Del. It is certainly a time consuming process but well worth it.
Bloody great Del....enjoyed watching every second...👍🏼
Hi Del & Penny, hope you have had a good week. Outstanding job mate it's coming along nicely, looking forward to the next one. Penny and you have a great weekend and hope that weather is getting better over there. The rain has buggered off and we are back in the sunshine, happy days. Stay safe and take care. Cheers
Thanks mate👍, glad you're enjoying it, and yeah, we've had a good week of great weather, but cooler and wet from tomorrow, so i guess it's struggling to make up it's mind which side of the world summer wants to live..lol!
Nice job! …I remember the pipe fitters where I used to work many years ago used to pack the pipes with dry sand and plugging the ends to prevent flattening or the dreaded “elephants trunk”when bending to complex shapes and when necessary, even heating them to cherry red.
Yes indeed, that is a great way to make perfect curves on seamless tubing, but this is reasonably average quality seam welded tubing and if you pack them hard then bend, I've had the rupture the welds before as the sand compacts! Thanks for your input buddy.
Make the tools you have work !!! Not everyone can afford the tools you want ! I Love it !!! 👍🏻🇺🇸🤠
Dang that was amazingly good. Your skill at thinking outside the box is awesome.... One day I want to convert a Honda VT1300 Sabre to run the engine, transmission and electrics of a Indian Chief.. But I want to keep the VT1300's tank. I love real tear drop tanks and the VT1300 Sabre's is one of the best I have ever seen, I was wondering how to hide the tab that is like what is on your Harley tank... NOW I KNOW.... Brilliant!
Nice one Del 👍
Looking really good so far 👍
Interesting to see the finish (paint/polish/clear coat etc)🤔
Keep up the brilliant work Del 'n' Pen 👍
Thanks Paul. 👍
Love the whiteboard message :) That's some purdy precice bending, considering no mandrel inside. Unless I miss my guess, by the time you split it, it should be close enough to be hand-moldable to perfection. That's a really good solution to making sides to the centerpiece with perfect, built-in radii/radiussessess. I can't wait to see your choice in the finish. enjoy the weekend, D&P
Thanks mate, glad you approve! Not by any means proficient at this, just exploring some new skills... have a great weekend there too!
@@Moonfleet41 You are too humble, sir. This video positively oozes proficiency :)
Great results Del, especially considering that pipe bender was not the tool of choice. As you said once the filler and paint is done it will be perfect. All those bike build TV shows almost never showed the moulding work. In my mind that is every bit as important as the metal fab on a custom build. Really enjoying this project. Thanks Del and Penny. Blessings to you both. ❤👍👍
Exactly that Rick, every bike you ever saw built in American Chopper, or West Coast Choppers is a three month build by multiple staff and inevitably always outside vendors too.. and it's all compacted into a 60 minute show, 20 minutes of which is commercials, another 20 minutes is repeated sequences as the commercials are so long, 10 minutes is domestic squabling and posturing about nothing ...and maybe 10 minutes bike building at most... !! But i still think Rick Petko is a legend..!
@@Moonfleet41 LOL... Perfect description of the bike build shows. And I agree 100% about Rick Petko.
A tip I had heard about - When bending tubing, fill it with sand or water. It prevents crushing.
Depends on the quality of the pipe.
very much so.
i can't picture the bike/tank in my mind exactly at the moment. That combo looks like it may end up quite substantial. I was actually thinking you were going to cut the pipes in half after your were done and use half the height of them. Interested to see how this develops. Have a great weekend!
You're along the right lines there mate, but it's a little early for that yet, for to make the two parts into one yet..!
@@Moonfleet41 gotcha. 👍🏻
Coming along very nicely!
I was going to comment on what a gifted bender you are, but on second thoughts that doesn't sound right at all. 🙂
Brilliant fettling Del - loved this!
Have a great weekend both of you.
😂
Thank you so much 😀, we get the point, a compliment indeed!
I love these types of projects, especially when using tools capable of doing what you need but not made specifically for your needs. Good job so far!
Thanks mate!
Nice work. Love your channel been watching for years how the old ticker doing hopefully all is well. Keep up great work. Thanks.
Thanks mate👍, not so good these days, just managed at best but great care from the awesome NHS, life goes on, for as long as the big man gifts us ?
Are you sure you're not ex Army mechanic - improvise, adapt and overcome. Great idea to solve a problem
o boy,,, Del has forgot more then i'll ever know ..nice job Del
The second one is always quicker. Nice job 👏🏻
Sure is mate, have a great weekend!
If we don't try we don't learn what's possible keep them coming 👍👍👍
Good point well made mate!
Is this a purely decorative addition, or does it serve some purpose ?
It's a console!
@Moonfleet41 ok, well, that's an answer, I guess.
As a person who doesn't ride, my knowledge of terminology is limited .
Very nice work!
Thanks a lot Stefan!
Interesting technic,well done😍
Nice work Del!
Many thanks, much appreciated!
Another excellent bit of fabrication Dell! Congrats, I am looking forward to seeing the final outcome. Best to U&P, have great weekend. Regards.
Many thanks Shaun, glad you approve, im enjoying the process. Have a great weekend mate.
Wow great job Del looks sweet dude really coming on buddy 😊 have a great weekend dude enjoy the weather 😊 Pete 👍🚴🏻
Thanks Pete👍, appreciate your kind support, enjoy your weekend too!
Nice one Del ! Coming along nicely mate ! Have a great weekend 👍
Thanks Paul 👍, glad you approve, wishing you the same mate!
I tell you what Del, that's bloody brilliant, you should be proud of yourself. Well done.
Cheers mate, having fun expanding skills!
Awesome video brother! Definitely a lot of work but worth it in the end . It is coming alone great !!! Stay safe guys cheers from New York 👍👍👍👍👍
Good afternoon del 😆
Ho mate, hope you're well.
Nice Del.
Nice work mate. Will the tank be getting a oaint job at the end?
Certainly will mate as they come from the factory in this black primer!
Excellent Del. Superb patience, skill & vision. 👏👏👏
Thank you for your kind words mate.
You have incredible hand's and very good ideas, always. I really like all your videos every time i see them, and have learn a lot from you👍so thank's😇😉🥰👍😎
Thank you very much, really appreciate your kind words!
Hiyas Del and Penny P. Who is doing the background music? Its awesome.
I'd just like to reiterate whats already been said regarding filling the pipes with sand when bending them. You get much less deformation, and an overall cleaner bend. 👍
As I've already replied, on seam welded tubing the side pressure can rupture it unless you heat it to cherry red...
@@Moonfleet41 Sorry, I didn't read your previous replies. 👍
Excellent video on a cool and interesting project
Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it!
By cutting one pipe longitudinally after bending could have saved your few hours, as I guess you are going to weld that plate on it and in it.
Part 3 out already!
I've just watched part 3 so i know whats happening. ✌️♥️
Thanks bruv, glad you're enjoying it, have a great week there! D&Px
neat del very neat
Thanks mate!
Mate great video
Wear do you get your music play list please 🙏
Thanks for your kind words, Mostly individual artists who watch the channel send their music with permission to use it..!
Hi Delboy, beautiful job. I remember the earlier model street bobs had the larger tank and they looked great. It looks like you will top that. Best regards, Frank from Florida.
Sure thing Frank, the Dyna models did have a full sized tank, way better on both fronts!
Nice work. All the more impressive with tools not really perfectly suited for the job. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you very much, glad you're enjoying!
Great job Del !
Very cool 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Looks GOOD.
Thank you so much!
