I am currently suffering from a serious brain injury and the only thing keeping me going at the moment are your videos. Thank you, Del, for showing me there's still someone out there worse off than I am in the brain departmen.
Just an observation. In French what he made would be a Sabot de moteur - a shoe. It looks more like one of those old fashioned medical shoes you used to see. Maybe it's just a truss for a bike with a hernia. Anyone else see the resemblance?
This is just the plug for the solid brass ships figurehead he's going to have on there in the end, just to blend the other bits in, in a really understated, classy way. Jesus fucking wept. Happy Christmas and have a good new year boys.
Todays video starring Delboy as Dr. Freehand . If anyone can make hammered sh*t look its worst , he can. Happy Holidays Matt and thanks for the laugh session.
You are supposed to learn from your mistakes.......DB has discovered that by saying this of course is not the final version he will never have to admit he got it wrong!! Pure genius😂😂
It is actually an ACU regulation that all race bikes must have a solid bellypan and must be able to contain more than 50% of the volume of all liquids in the engine :) they used to have removable bungs for wet races but that rule was superseded. I think the only thing that’s an exception to this is classic bikes of a certain era
Keep up the great videos matt, I was a born again biker after a hiatus from my early 20's (family life) and returned with an interest in custom bikes. I remember watching Delboy thinking his stuff was great, it wasn't until I saw a video of yours that pointed out how shitty the rest of the bike was outside of what he wanted you to focus on. I've been burned in the past by people who make their bikes "custom" (Delboy wannabe) and its the new owner who has to fix all the shit they cause. I feel like I learn something from each of your videos so keep up the shite work Del because Matt is there to point out the mistakes and give us all an education. Hope you have a great 2023
That factory foot peg he offered up at the beginning is the right side peg judging by the wear on the rubber. It doesn't follow the case like I would expect the correct peg to either. I could be wrong though.
With the way those engines shake and zero clearance between that monstrosity and the cases, I'd like to see the state of the engine cases after a few miles........ Quality!
I wonder how long it took The guy with the brain injury to form that comment?🤣 Please thank your wife for allowing you to give us all this gift during your holiday, this is great! ✌️
All the things he can draw around to get the scoop the same on both sides, that would include the 1st template piece. Lined everything up by eye, doesn't know how assymetrical it is, everything's wonky like it's been dropped. Will there ever come a time when Dell gets either a jigsaw or a plasma cutter?
Sutures is now the english medical word for stitches. We're going american with loads of stuff. Great vid mate pissing my self. Hope you had a great christmas mate
He's still a bud driver. He was telling a viewer the other day, and there's nothing wrong with his heart. Even he had a heart attack, and had a stent or 2 fitted you still go back to work.
Another good video. Don't do fabrication but to spend so much time on tacking up a belly pan that is going to be reduced by 50% is classic! Have a good new year Matt all the best.
American chopper eat your heart out, can't wait to see him make the London eye fuel tank. Next time on American Del! Haven't laughed this much for a long time thanks for the great video Matt.
52:48 There are rules for race bikes here in NZ where they must have a belly/catch pan with a specified volume for catching oil. They must also have removable plugs for wet races. Motorcycling NZ rule 10.6.d
@@richardclark1448 catch pan on the racing blades were a different component iirc, as for nakeds you can get bellypans compliant for most of the nakeds that get raced regularly. there are loads for the bandit and sv's
Hi mat 2 things , the legend hasn’t done a Q&A this year or did I miss it . That’s the first, secondly he’s ahead of the game crap weather and he’s fitted a snow plough to his bike, legend.
i wonder if del is aware that you can solder metal, that thin stuff would be good for some soldering as his untrained welds will just burn trough as they did
Hi Matt, another quick question. Where can I get STRONG proper paint remover to easily strip steel car parts? Been doing some research and most are for wood and reviews say are piss weak. Any recommendations? Cheers.
You have to love the way the under piece is specifically no where near fkn wide enough to touch the side panels .... by a good inch or so either side ..... engineering at it's best .....
Ffs will you and del please get together for a next Christmas custom project, could be the biggest thing since only fools and horses Christmas special.
When I accelerate in first gear at full throttle to redline and then quickly cut the throttle to zero, the whole bike shudders back and forth. Is that normal? Can you stop it happening?
So del called himself Fake. That's GOLD. Tis the Season of snowplows Once again del proves he never ever ever learns. He is Perfect, no need to learn nor improve is awesome skillzz. This is a repeat of the husky, but somehow even worse. Totally symmetrical.
Can't wait for the next installment where he delsplains about how those fucked up tack welds and complete blow out hole are completly normal and can easily be fixed with the filler dust he's collected. Also about those foot pegs, doesn't really matter if they are in line or not because there is so little left sticking out unless a shoeless 4 year old is riding it any grown person with motorcycle boots on will barely have half their foot supported.
The welding part is like laying a sticker, but instead of starting in the center and working outwards, he tacked each end & worked towards the middle. Rather it’s a valve cover, sticker, welding, start in the center and work out, giving the material room to come together.
I think I've sussed the videos. Del's including dramatic scenes as a way of making the (shoddy at best) tasks look good. We're talking noise, flames, sparks and the inclusion of many tools. Must say I'm stunned at that bellypan, or should I call it a strapon. It reminds me of a strapon dildo. That steel from online too. As you say, mega expensive and a desperate way to buy in materials. There are much cheaper routes to get the stuff. (for anyone curious, go to Wickes and check the prices for their metal stock) The welding. Tacking is a basic skill and he can't grasp the idea/thinking behind it. I'm certain he reads up on it but nothing stays in his head - I see so many basic metalworking skills not used. Filing, clamping, correct posture etc. Anyhoo, I've been waiting for you covering this one and it was worth the wait. 'Stares at you back'
Watching delbollocks do this stuff, is like watching a kid fail at Lego.... @26:40/47:20 .... funny as fuk B) Reminds me of the glue sniffer out of the Young Ones (Nozin' Around)
Road Racing Bikes have to have an enclosed belly pan, without drain holes, otherwise it will fail scrutineering. If a race bike engine shits itself the belly pan is expected to contain the oil and prevent it ending up all over the track.
Actually, FIM technical regs for both MotoGP and WSBK require the belly pans to incorporate drain holes, which are opened in wet races so the pan doesn't fill with rainwater.
Love your Intro, brushed your hair, picked your nose, then chewed something - was there a quick Cut-DELeat there? Then you finish with Del comment on belly pan required for racing - NOT IT"S NOT, IT"S NOT A BUCKET!! Gold. Cheers Matt
Let just appreciate that in explaining datum’s, mat basically turned dels design into something that could be printed out from paint program and used as a template in less time than it took del to sharpen a pencil. 😂
I wonder why all the major manufacturers don’t employ failed bus drivers to design their bikes? I sympathise with anyone whose ever bought anything from the budget Ed China with less brain power
Good god!! I've never welded anything in my life but even I know whats going to happen if you fix together the top and the bottom of the panels leaving a big gap in between that you then try and close up with both ends already fixed in place .... it's just common sense to work from one end to the other closing the gap bit by bit (or even better finesse the panel set up before hand to reduce the gap to the absolute minimum before even looking at the welding machine) ... surely ..... 🤔🤷♂
No mandatory learning segment at the beginning of this? You've given up on us already 😂 Guess the lads down the back of the class drinking 2 pack paint and epoxy were just too much for you 😅 Space Space exclamation. !
Buckets in moto gp . Well i think thats what the guy in the comments was on about. "It is already a regulation that the lower portion of bodywork must have the capacity to catch oil or coolants in the event of an engine failure. It has now been agreed that the minimum capacity of these reservoirs must be 5 litres for Moto2 and MotoGP class machines and 3.5 litres for Moto3 class machines. The procedure for measuring capacity was also confirmed."
I don't understand this? Bikes are generally on there side after the rider isn't riding them? Understand it from a engine failure, but serves little purpose when there cartwheeling down a track 😄
Better than the Huskatrashed! Um, I mean it's worse but even more fun to watch. Oh, and go check out Fortnine's latest Rune vid, at 7.45 I'm sure it's Del road testing Penny's Triumph!!!!!! Anyway cheers again for another great video.
does he only have one Stanley blade and no shop will sell him more? why cut those shapes with scissors when yiu can do consistent cuts with a craft knife.
I commented on his shite belly pan…. Surprised he didn’t make out of 50mm cast pig iron, and the way he scribbles his lines instead of just drawing it drives me mental… accuracy nil
I am currently suffering from a serious brain injury and the only thing keeping me going at the moment are your videos. Thank you, Del, for showing me there's still someone out there worse off than I am in the brain departmen.
I asked him if there were any welding courses near to him. It got deleted.
Please never stop making these videos, you crack me up 😂😂
Just an observation. In French what he made would be a Sabot de moteur - a shoe. It looks more like one of those old fashioned medical shoes you used to see. Maybe it's just a truss for a bike with a hernia. Anyone else see the resemblance?
The boat anchor theme is going great with the bow of the ship on the front now 😂
I’m in bits Matt! 😂 the comedy randomnesses and timing is 👌🤣 16:06
He is the bob ross of metal work. These shapes are just happy accidents.
🤣🤣🤣
I could watch this now but nah, gonna save it for a beer in the bath🤣🤣✌🏼✌🏼
This is just the plug for the solid brass ships figurehead he's going to have on there in the end, just to blend the other bits in, in a really understated, classy way.

I love how he looks like he knows like he knows what he is doing.😊😊
I'm definitely learning a lot from your each video! That small advices are gold! Keep going, Matt!
You are supposed to learn from your mistakes.......DB has discovered that by saying this of course is not the final version he will never have to admit he got it wrong!!

Oh he’s a genius in a lot of ways
It's very interesting he is so chuffed and very happy with the result given what happens in the next video😮

Go on you big fairy
(Merry Christmas to you too ❤)
Del Benatar Metal is a battlefield
This was a well needed laugh after the last couple of miserable days... Thanks Matt
The look on yer face when he pulled out the chinese wheel. About the same as the one on my face at the same time.
@1:00 get a diesel heater. Quick, easy and cheap as chips to run.
I new you would lose it when the English wheel appeared all the best matey

anyone who takes inspiration from del needs to be sterilised not sutured.
Del is so entertaining. What is his actual job.hopefully he's better at that than bikes and fabrication. Never a dull moment matt.
He's a bus driver!
@@jasonkristunas9427 Don't think he does it any more. He has a dodgy ticker.
I wonder this all the time. Didn’t he once talk about being a diesel fitter on lorries? I know quite a few people like Del
He's still a bud driver. He was telling a viewer the other day, and there's nothing wrong with his heart. Even he had a heart attack, and had a stent or 2 fitted you still go back to work.
When did Jimmy Somerville take over this channel?
He's going to make it 50% smaller...... Might I suggest making it 100% smaller
😂😂😂 nice video, Matt you need to get yourself an all in one diesel heater, they are brilliant

So can you not race nakeds then? I'm also baffled by the bellypan holding oil? My old fireblade has factory holes running through it? 🤔
But New Zealand is a shit hole so who cares!
@@richardclark1448 catch pan on the racing blades were a different component iirc, as for nakeds you can get bellypans compliant for most of the nakeds that get raced regularly.
there are loads for the bandit and sv's
lol, been waiting for this one matt - cheers! 'plouge'? lol..... :)
Very seasonal.....a tractor with a snow plough attachment.
He made an oil collector.
Will he put a drainplugg on it?
F'n hilarious !! lol I've an old fibreglass bellypan from an LC , Del could have had it . Would've looked just as shite with much less effort .
Hi mat 2 things , the legend hasn’t done a Q&A this year or did I miss it . That’s the first, secondly he’s ahead of the game crap weather and he’s fitted a snow plough to his bike, legend.
It appears the original rubber foot rest is about a fist wide, so maybe near 75-100mm?
Whatever happened to that super grindy diamond disk he was raving on about never needing to change?
It wore out... don't tell anyone...
Bloody fantastic maybe he could make some parts 4 Craig 😂. Nice 1 again matt
i wonder if del is aware that you can solder metal, that thin stuff would be good for some soldering as his untrained welds will just burn trough as they did
Matt, best one yet 😂
haha! again with at around 26:40 those imitations are quite funny ha.
Hi Matt, another quick question. Where can I get STRONG proper paint remover to easily strip steel car parts? Been doing some research and most are for wood and reviews say are piss weak. Any recommendations? Cheers.
You can't. You used to be able to get DCM, but that's not available now either.
You have to love the way the under piece is specifically no where near fkn wide enough to touch the side panels .... by a good inch or so either side ..... engineering at it's best .....
What every Harley needs, Santas Sleigh stuck underneath 🤣
Proper Del fabrication, love it.
The gaps are for cooling.
Ffs will you and del please get together for a next Christmas custom project, could be the biggest thing since only fools and horses Christmas special.
Ah the christmas present I needed
Matt I never watch Del vids anymore. I just come to your channel instead. I have learned loads about what not to do 😂 keep up the great work.
When I accelerate in first gear at full throttle to redline and then quickly cut the throttle to zero, the whole bike shudders back and forth. Is that normal? Can you stop it happening?
What bike is it?
Yes I can stop it happening. Cut the throttle cable
@@thedirtyworkshop it happened on a gsx1100g and cb1300. Interestingly it doesn't happen on the busa due to the back torque limiter
the back wheel is locking up
😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣😅 have you thought about learning to ride correctly
They should put a two cylinder lister or petter diesel in them, they sound same and would last far longer lol
How fast would this barge go?
a better question is how quick would it stop
@@TheMegaNanometer or even if it will stop x
@@hhuodod2209 it will stop when that belly pan gets caught up on something and throws the next owner off
So del called himself Fake. That's GOLD.
Tis the Season of snowplows
Once again del proves he never ever ever learns. He is Perfect, no need to learn nor improve is awesome skillzz. This is a repeat of the husky, but somehow even worse.
Totally symmetrical.
Looks like the bow of an arctic icebreaker ship
To the scrap yard with that bike already .
The scrapyard would turn it away. It's crap not scrap
I wonder if that is a quote to divvydave and his vid about the the email reply Del made
Can't wait for the next installment where he delsplains about how those fucked up tack welds and complete blow out hole are completly normal and can easily be fixed with the filler dust he's collected.
Also about those foot pegs, doesn't really matter if they are in line or not because there is so little left sticking out unless a shoeless 4 year old is riding it any grown person with motorcycle boots on will barely have half their foot supported.

What the hell was that flick with the disc change on the grinder.... isn't that stuff thin enough for metal shears too?
A simple jigsaw on the line would have nailed those cuts in one go surely?
He has a bandsaw.

Good news for Del, Sealey DO sell a plasma cutter :D
I MUST ADMIT MATT that belly pan looks horrible ....
I have said this before, and I'll say it again.... there is no way someone could be this bad!!!!! It must be an act 🎬
His compass only had north south east and west on it
Del is the gift that keeps on giving.it looks very medieval and shit.
if any apprentice turned that out in the middle ages they'd have been beaten savagely by their Journeyman and then the master.
You gotta see the latest epic from Del Boy “The Coolant King”
Fits like a foot in a glove
Why not a kevlar belly pan? Del is an expert in kevlar belly pans.
LMFAO! Rippled for her pleasure! So funny.
Fillinghams seen a 👻

FACTORY. I was hoping that he would make it from brass.
Like a foot in a glove
Measure twice cut once, or in Dell land cut five times measure nowt, then inform his disciples that '' obviously this needs more cutting WTF
