Always a benefit when you release a video just as I sit down to lunch. I enjoyed this as always. I wish you lived closer, I'd be happy to unleash my Honda parts on you. Thanks for hanging the plate on your wall and allowing me to claim a spot on your lathe Del, I'm honored. It will make me happy to know that plate is in good company. Nice hat too. I'm personally loving the WIHA tools since i'm doing so many miniatures lately. Stay well my friend. Ride safe and keep the painted side up.
The honor is all mine Joe, You plate is more than a souvenir for the wall, it's a mark of friendship and regard, and that means so much. Have a great weekend Sir and keep safe too.
I just found out something that some of your viewers might find useful. I recently installed Speed Bleeders on my 2000 Harley Springer. I wanted to reverse bleed the front brakes and purchased the syringe from Amazon. When I tried to do the reverse bleed procedure, the fluid would not go in and I broke the handle on the syringe. I then realized that Speed Bleeders have a one-way check valve (ball bearing) that only allows air and fluid to flow in one direction. So the bottom line is that Speed Bleeders cannot be used to reversed bleed as they will only allow fluid to flow out, but not in. I went back to the old bleeders.
While the corroded paint on the master cylinder could very well have been from brake fluid spillage (brake fluid will strip paint like it's cool), I still have strong suspicions that this bike spent time in the river Thames (or maybe the sea). lol Regardless, this has thus far been an excellent and enjoyable project to watch progress. 👍
Usual smooth professional job. Strangely satisfying.
As an aside- how’s this for serendipity?
Couple of weeks back I watched your Brake Callipers-part 1 episode; and I actually made a comment about your Brake piston removal process.
Just today I replaced all front brake hoses on my Suzuki Waterbottle ( almost at the end of a 2 year restoration) and I thought why not check the callipers to see why it’s so difficult to push around.
Frozen R/H piston! And crystallised brake fluid. And a brake pad absolutely jammed and immovable in the calliper.
Testament to the idiot who owned this bike previously.
Easily removed by using your method. Amazing.
Hi Nick.. sounds like normal behaviors for brakes, if anything it's just neglect and time... great that you got it all sussed out and put right mate.. have a great weekend
Just every detail spot on Del. As an aside, I needed to remove my rear wheel on my Sport Glide and your video on wheel alignment & belt tension was just so helpful mate👍
Thanks buddy, Most welcome on the video. Glad it helped !
Saturday morning brekky, e&b with toast n coffee. And a new video to watch. Really enjoying this build. Have a great weekend guys 😘
Thanks buddy, You too.
Hi Del, interesting to see the setup for close up disassembly in action. While we just sit back and enjoy pin sharp images of everything you do. Hats off to you and Penny for all the time and effort expended that goes into the making of these great instructional vids. Keep 'em coming please.
Thank you very much Alan, we really appreciate your kind words, we do work hard behind the scenes to try and keep upping the quality and production, so it's great to hear that it's appreciated! Take care and have a great weekend, plenty more videos to come.
What a difference a day makes, great job again Del.
Love watching this.... Kinda soothing seeing it all come apart, get a bit of love and then go back together again in pristine condition! Every time I see you work on a harley the devil on my shoulder whispers "buy one" 🤣 Have a cracking weekend mate!
Ha ha thanks mate.. sounds like you have a secret liking forthe Dark Side.. go take a test ride, it may change your view for good..!lol
I once caught my wife cleaning a carburettor in the kitchen sink, tha damn cheek of it. And I'm serious too!
A camera for a camera, that’s dedication! If the paint comes off with an air line it’s definitely seen better days 👍🏻
Sure thing mate, I don't think there was much holding that on aye?! Have a great weekend, D&Px
0:05 - I see you fixed the rudder on Penny's broom then; nice flying Gal!
For a rattle-can paint job, that finish is truly unreal . . . & almost worth the weight! ( . . .'worth the wait'? - oh, never mind)
Mind you, like Vivian's jacket, Harleys are 'Very Metal' so an extra oz. of lippy here & there can't upset the handling : )xx
Slow and steady, she's gettin' there, Del! I don't know about you, but laying down some matte black paint is just extra satisfying. Flat paint is all dry spray, gloss has too little build per coat, but that semi-gloss... it sure lays down nice. Easier to see it flash off, as well.
Yeah, exactly mate, happy middle ground, and makes a nice finish every time.
Nice work - coming along nicely! I was lucky enough to get a brand new front brake master cylinder for the GSXR1000 under recall - recalled in 2013 and never been put in to be done! Thanks as always guys x
That sounds like a win Mike, I've inherited a few vehicles with outstanding recalls and it's great to get that free work carried out, it's always a benefit! Have a great weekend there, ride safe, D&Px
No primer required… it’s what I been looking for… needed some for quite awhile.. really kewl job !!
Fancy working on my triumph and sorting her out lol. Great video again can't wait to get a garage.
Thanks Brian, we had many years like you, keep positive and you'll get your dream garage, all the very best mate.
Therapeutic to watch, hope you guys have a great weekend
Thank you! You too buddy. !
i would have never tried this task before watching the ZX7 street fighter build. Armed with the confidence that it isn't as hard as it looks and that with some degree of patience, reference material (shop manual) and some basic hand tools I think people might be surprised what they can do themselves. Quick question, with the clip ons you're adding would a sport bike master cylinder have given some more bite from the front?
Hi buddy, thanks for your very kind comments! This is exactly the same front braking system as on the early 1200's, various models only had one disc, but as you may have noticed, it's actually a dead beefy 4 pot front caliper and this is the master cylinder that's matched to it... the bike won't be gaining any more weight, quite the opposite in fact, and simply having lower bars makes no tangible difference to the braking requirements, so I'm sticking with the beautiful, genuine H-D master cylinder that, once it's all fully restored, will match perfectly in with the bike! I just don't think that turning the bike into a 'bitsa' with various random components from here and there and other bikes, doesn't eventually make for a very nice motorcycle, I believe it can actually make them look a bit sketchy unless the components involved are the top drawer stuff such as Ohlins etc., and I simply don't have the budget for that!
@@Moonfleet41 understand thanks 🙏
Always envious of your paint finishes. The only paint I've ever got to stick like grim death to a bike part, has been whatever the accidental overspray managed to find, lol. Love the small container in the solvent tank idea! No noise, no splashing, brilliant.
Yeah, splashing all over the place usually, it seemed a tidier way to clean the parts, and you can 'dunk' them too..
Great work once again Del, this looks like an appropriate job for my 04 road king, 150000km and in need of some geriatric services. Enjoyed, cheers!
Wow that is some mileage and very impressive! It probably won't actually be that bad as high mileage bikes are usually quite clean, it's bike that get sat for years that fester and end up in this state... Good luck with it and have fun!
Another hit brother ! outstanding restoration 👍 wonder if you would keep the levers silver or black them out , either way its gonna look awesome brother ! 1 million subscribers coming soon 👌👌👌stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!! 🥂🥂🥂🍺🍺🍺
Thanks so much for your kind support as always Brother, i think ill mirror polish the levers for contrast, they get rubbed all the time by gloves, so that way no paint to wear off.. Have a great weekend and keep safe both of you.
Great video, team DBG! Nice to see some neglected ol' parts getting the love they deserve. Take care!
Thanks buddy 👍, always good to hear from you, have a great weekend!
Great watching your projects Del to see from start to finish, which direction it’s going and what it’s gonna look like.👍
Thanks mate👍
great vid del can you do something on that gold wing
Interesting and enjoyable as always Del! Regards.
Many thanks mate , glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video Del & Penny. It's coming along nicely mate, that paint is the business. Penny and you have great relaxing weekend, take care. Cheers
Thanks mate, real happy with the result, just got to give it a few days to dry before i can maul it about to reassemble it all.!
Amazing work, Del! She sure is getting top notch attention…
Hope you both have a great weekend there…. 🏍👍🏍
Thanks Gary, you too buddy!
@@Moonfleet41 😎
Nice job Del. On camera they didn't look that bad until you took them all apart.. Getting close to 200K that is awesome my friend. Congratulations!!
Thanks so much buddy, you're right, these kind of components look ok intil you get inside them, then it all makes it worth it. 👍
Morning Del, when you were preparing the front master cylinder you used a foam to fill the inside for sand blasting, where would I get some of that and what's it called.
Great videos, both Rosie and I enjoy watching.
Cheers Mac
It's a pro paint shop product for masking off holes ready for paint.. but as a great dodge, you can use plain old draught excluder that you stick in the door frame...get it from the DIY store for cheapo..!
I was thinking whilst watching this, how far you have come since I started watching your channel. The difference now is the facility, the know how has always been there, and the product gets better. Hats off to you Del, you have a great place to hang and learn 👍
Thank you Simon for your kind words of support and encouragement, your long term support means a lot.. Take care and have a good weekend.
@@Moonfleet41 you too mate.
What blast media did you use ?Is it glass bead for aluminium ? I gotta do mine this winter
Yes mate, glass bead media..!
Interesting that they spec dot5 and not 5.1. I'd think that could lead to internal corrosion issues. Maybe I'm wrong.
These videos are so useful to me as I have a '96 Harley Sportster project on the go myself. . . Great stuff indeed - 😊 thanks . .
Great to hear buddy, enjoy your project!
I have always wondered about the second cleaning step. First a cleaner and then with water, so the contaminated water just runs down the drain. I don't think that's right.
Read a little on emulsifiable / biodegradable degreaser mate.. !
@@Moonfleet41 still loads the wastewater treatment - and biodegradable is the cleaner, the dirt washed off is probably more mineral oils and greases
No, once the parts are washed in the tank, they're clean and almost dry bar a light residue of the degreaser itself. this itself is biodegradable... far more toxins wash off the roads every day by the rain mate.. Don't over think it.!
game set match
Lovely job, Del!
A passing thought regarding paint and critical clamping components. I'm not trying to criticize, just passing along a thought! Yamaha had a recall for the FZ-09 lineup of bikes a while back because some handlebar components' clamping surfaces had been factory powder coated/painted. Allegedly, after time and vibration, the coating would break down and crumble underneath the torqued fasteners and surfaces, and things would become loose. In the case of my bike, the bar riser clamps were affected. Mega problem if that comes loose while riding. Did this ever happen in the wild, or was Yamaha just being proactive? I do not know. Anyway thanks for the content, I really do enjoy watching you work and appreciate the knowledge shared. ✌🏼
Great Stuff Lad, good to see you're Still At it Mucker, 👍 from an x Yorkshireman in Australia...🤭👍🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🛡, Love Your Style Mate, Thank You for your Vlogs, Rob n Zena 🐕
Thanks Rob, good to hear from you mate... My word, you're a long way from home.. but what a beautiful place to be.. Hope you both well, and thank you for your support.
Never fails to amaze me how many parts go to make up a bike, but it does pay dividends when you completely strip a bike, you get to know your bike like the back of you're hand.
Your typically high standard of workmanship on clear display Del
Nick Australia
Thanks Nick, you're too kind mate, glad you're enjoying it!
Easy to forget all the other skills you need to record these great videos 👍
So true Alex, it's a lot of work behind the scenes, but good to hear you enjoy it!
Bought that paint after watching you Del its brilliant paint and so forgiving...Gr8 job again thanks.
Great to hear Paul, glad you're enjoying it!
another class job 36 parts did you say Del its a fair bit in there anyway all the best m8 you guys have a great weekend and carry on the good work atb iain
Thanks Iain, you too mate! and yeah, lots or parts make up the whole. take care and have a good weekend. D&Px
Great !
just coming along beautifully love your attention to detail, poor matty will have nothing to complain about but that won't stop him, he's that desperate for the money,
You get an amazing finish with that paint Del. Nearly tackle my own, you make it look easy, but then, you know what you're doing! 👌
Thank you kindly Sir, not always, but lots of practice!
Can’t wait to see the finished project. So well done with such great detail and craftsmanship. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks for watching Ben, we're so glad you're enjoying this project! Have a great weekend.
Good job again Del,But how dare you violate a wing by Clambering all over it shame on you....
Nahh, my big ol' girl knows I love her and am just keeping her useful!! Thanks for your kind support mate.
When this bike is finished the only proper place for it will be in The Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. One meticulous step at a time, it is becoming a work of art ! That short glimpse of the camera work just hints at the huge job it must be to film this process. Many thanks Del and Penny ! God bless and stay well. ❤👍👍
Thanks so much Rick, you're right, as you can see just flipping out the seal carrier should be a few seconds to do.. but to film it it maybe 5 minutes just for that one shot.. but if it makes video thats appreciated then it's all worth it. Thank you as always for your kind words of support, have a great weekend.. D&Px
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE THE MASTER AT WORK.
You are good with the spray can , well done.
Who ever gets that bike when it’s finished,will be one lucky huckleberry..
Yet again, super spray job Del, looks great that spray, still getting the number plates coming in
Thanks Andy 👍, pleased with how it's come it, glad you enjoyed!
You deserve a brake after all this brilliant work Del with a lovely cup of splosh.
All the best D&P x
Thanks Marc, been a hectic week, not just UA-cam but day jobs also, so looking forward to a weekend and a bit of 'us' time! Have a peaceful weekend there too, D&Px
Well done Dell! This bike is gonna be splendid! And again, magnific movie! Cheers to you and Penny!
Many thanks Sir, we really appreciate your kind words!
