Breaking down the entire bike in 13 minutes very impressive. I could have done it in 6! lol I think I am going to record the sound your bolts make when you break them loose and play it no matter what I am working on. "Ok son ((((click)))) your bike chain is fixed." 😁Your content is great and is always getting better.
I had an 883 Sporty back in the day and the more this series progresses the more I miss that bike. 🙂 I'm excited to see what you have planned for yours. Many thanks Del and Penney for the love and hard work you pour into these videos.👍👍
Great video Del & Penny. It's very relaxing watching you tear it down mate. Nice to see I'm not the only one who labels things as they come apart. When I was in the trade if someone had to finish one of my jobs if I was away, they always said it made life so much easier. Penny and you have a great weekend, your weather should be getting nice now as all we are getting is rain, gets me thinking I don't miss all that bloody rain LOL, take care. Cheers
Sure thing mate, I wouldn't miss the rain too... my brother went to live in QLD many years ago, I'm beginning to think he had a point! It is indeed sunnier days and nice to get out on the bikes now and again... you have a great weekend there and keep safe, D&Px
Hi Del Superb footage as always. Hats off for making such rapid progress. I can appreciate how frustrating extracting the wiring loom must have been. One the plus side no snapped bolts or drama. We all appreciate your tremendous effort and the quality that goes with it. Interesting that there was zero water in that manky brake fluid. Super interesting series keep up the good work both! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊🇸🇪🇬🇧
Thanks Paul, glad you're enjoying it.. the fluid is 'DOT5' and doesn't absorb water at all, so no matter how manky it gets, it will always be free of water content.! have a great week buddy ,and thanks for your support.
Always buddy, even if it is junk!... I see those TV shows where they deliberately throw and destroy parts they're not going to use and it makes me cringe... have respect for all things and go lightly through this world, even if it's junk!
It’s amazing how much wiring goes into such a simple machine. I have a 2003 883 in the garage that could use a restoration. It’s going to be my project for this year.
Good to hear from you mate, same year bike as this, so you got the best model! Solid mount engine, carb and a tiny wiring loom compared to the later bikes... have fun with it!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks. I’ve had it since it was nearly new. It was my first bike. Unfortunately a family member wrecked it and it’s been sitting for several years. I’m going to get it sorted and start riding it again. I have a Softail but I miss the old reliable Sportster. It really is the best model, too. I’d like to get a set of heads off a newer one though.
Hi Del and Penny, great video. What a massive undertaking! Good thing you're organized in putting stuff away and I'm willing to bet you've got loads of unpublished video to which you can refer come assembly time. Really interesting stuff - glad to be along for the ride and looking forward to the next. Take care!
Thanks for your kind words buddy, The good old service manual is the best reference when you're rebuilding everything, it gives you vital information like torque values that you can't ever commit to memory..! Take care and thanks for you support. Del .
I've been there before.. Not w/a Harley though. And in all honesty,, I don't envy you one little bit 🤷♂️. It is a daunting task and can rapidly change as the teardown progresses. Kudos to Penny,, she a great cinematographer. The close ups are spot on! Cheers 🍻 Folks 👍.
Excellent progress my friend. Really enjoying this series. SO important to keep everything labeled and together, screws back in holes, and so on. This shows your professionalism.
Nice vid, Del! It’s always great to see how well you sort all of the dismantled pieces and manage very detailed projects like this. It’s truly motivational. BTW, I really like that brake fluid tester! Hope you both have a great weekend there. Still windy and rainy here, so will probably just work in the garage and catch up on a few things … like giving my mother-in-law another coat of wax and trying to find where she’s leaking. I guess I may meed to whip up some mortar for her nether region.
Thanks Gary, 👍 It's all just a big Meccano set really, one nut and bolt at a rtime and it all comes together.. Oh and skip past the plain old wax.. go straight to Waxoil for a permanent leak seal, and when you lay it in thick enough, it keeps the crusty bits from falling off as well...less mess on the garage floor.?!
Another great teardown video brother ! got the idea of marking every electrical connectors from you and has helped me tremendously when it was time to put back together ! keep up the good work brother ! love this project ! stay safe guys cheers from new york 🍺🍺🍺🥂🥂🥂
Awesome stuff! I’d love to tear down my 2016 Sportster Iron 883 and give it a full strip and repaint. The amount of rust on it for what is a relatively young bike is just silly.
My 2012 Sportster 1200 is in the same boat… it looks as if it lived on a boat at sea… the previous owner must have lived close to the ocean in Daytona, FL.
watching it come apart, its amazing that between pictures, a service manual with fuzzy pictures and a failing memory we figure it all out again!! :) Have a great weekend, Enjoy.
Yeah you're right, somehow there looks to be far more parts in the parts heap than there was bolted to the frame.. but you're right, it all comes back together ok..! Have a great weekend too and keep safe. D&Px
I know that was second time you dropped the oil out of the primary but I saw the first time too and that was the cleanest primary oil I ever seen lol GBU later
That brake fluid looked like the fluid that came out of my forks Del and what a stench! Well its a few bits ordered for my bike to so should be good and looking forward to seeing what you have planned to with baited breath 😀 All the very best Del and Penny as always a great team effort xx
noice videos... as per usual dudeski. - Now, gonna sound weird, but the same techniques used to put together, pull apart a bike, so, like labels on the wiring, checking screw tightness, after all of them are in (nuts and bolts as well etc) I use when pulling apart a pc, desk top computer. Apart from torqueing stuff up... except the CPU.. depending on which heat sink is being used.. too much pressure cpu wont work, too little it cooks itself. Anyway... same technique. AND I always learn a little bit extra in every video.. like the plugs left in to stop anything falling down the engine.. common sense kinda thing. Or like paracord on the end of a biker Puck... so you dont have to lean down to pick it up or leave it behind.
Hi Del, really loving where this build is going but I never seem to have quite your luck with stuck bolts. I was hoping to ask a bit of advice regarding a pair of stuck bolts if that's okay? It's on the left hand control switches, the two T27 bolts, one on the top, and one underside near the grip. They're both stuck, royally stuck, and I can't get them undone by hand. Also looks like somebody slightly minced the top one, not tremendously badly but definitely wants to slip too easy. Used WD40 soak but they won't give, and i'm gonna mince them if I keep pushing (And I've never had to undo these in the 7+ years I've had the bike so they're very stubborn). I was thinking of taking some heat to it but the surrounding casing is all plastic so thought maybe a bad idea? Don't suppose you have any bright ideas for me? Cheers and please and thank you all in advance! PS Say hi to Penny for us! 🙋♀
Hi mate.. Firstly, as far as im aware, your switch casings are metal.. can't remember any Sportster having plastic ones.... none the less, if they're stuck, there are all the usual fixes, "tapping in a slightly bigger torx bit", or "a dab of grindging paste on the head of the screw" for the tool to bite on.. even "JB weld in the hole" can work... but in the end,. if you mince them out, then take a drill bit the same size as the shaft of the screw and drill down into the hole very carefully and the entire head will come off....that will let you remove the two halves, then you can take the stump of the screw out with some grips...! Good luck with it mate, hope you can get it sussed..!
@@Moonfleet41 hi Del. Just wanted to say thank you for your advice (once again!) WD40 soak for a couple days, then got some grinding paste on it, and leant hard on it before turning and it came out. Can get back to the project now. Thank you again!
Just back from bike night and the first thing I did was check! That was a lot of work... Definitely going to be worth it when all said and done though. Enjoy your weekend mate and as always, sending our love to you and P
Thanks mate, hope you had a good night,... I don't do bike nights anymore these days, just never find the time to fit it all in... thanks for watching, as always, and have a great weekend!
Cheers Dean, there's only been one so far, on the back light, but everything else has come apart nicely... plain sailing at this point, but not going to tempt fate so finger's crossed for the big push! Thanks for your supoprt as always!
Q does dot5 fluid let any water it absorbes to go to lowest level.so would any water that might b in the brake system b down in the brake calipers? Dot4 lets the water stay in suspension in the whole brake system
Hi Delboy’s Garage. I know this has nothing to do with this video. I’m wondering if you have any videos on triumph tiger 955i stator or rectifiers as I’ve just had to have a new yellow battery as mine was knackered. Now I’ve fitted my new battery when we rev the bike it drops the voltage down the come off the revs the voltage picks up again, I’ve done around 128 miles and I thought I’d just charge the new battery just to see and it’s taken an hour and half to charge up to full
I had the same problem with my z1000. Had a new stator put in the bike not knowing I had to have a new reg rec, bought a new battery, still had issues holding charge fried the old wiring to the rectifier. I'd look into seeing if your rectifier is working properly first. I'm no means a mechanic
Very interesting my friend. Enjoying this process big time as I may be doing the same myself. I have 2008 883 Sportster Custom I would like to see painted along with upgrades. Thanks for the journey!
My neighbour has stripped a Honda CBR 600 F down to the level you are right now. He's got most of it back again and the poor sod had a heart attack last week. I sympathised with him and asked how the rebuild is going, "Oh no more bikes for me" was his reply. Heartbreaking. Suspect another vaccine casualty !? Yours however is going to be some bike when its finished, briiliant to watch, thanks :)
Sorry to hear about your neighbour, we both wish him a speedy recovery... as long as he can take it easy and reflect on the good things in life, he will recover with the awesome help of the medics and doctors...
Great video bud....quick question if I may sir....rear integrated brake lights stuck on my 48.... opened front brake housing and pressed switch on off several times but lights staying firmly on brake! Any ideas what I could look for next? Very grateful for any advice mate
@@Moonfleet41 Now that's quite funny I've had my 1200 sportster (2010) for a couple of years now and it was only the other week I was talking to someone and said maybe that's what they were, I have on occasion done a google search but couldn't find anything. When you were doing that harness removal and I noticed it, I thought straight away well if anyone will know this bloke will. Thanks again for that and of course all your video's mate wear my Delboy Garage t-shirts and jumper with pride, best bike channel on the tube. There was another thing I noticed as well when you were doing that tear down so thanks for that as well, another reason I appreciate your channel so much. For blokes like me that have a hard time finding the left handed wrench or screw driver ( laughs) it's a big help. Regards Andy
Quite a project!! It did indeed need a good work over , rust here and there!! Slimes here and there!! Goo here and there!! Lol looking forward next video!! Bet Penny said urggg in dirty crimes all over ehh wink !! Have super weekend!!
Sure thing mate, the deeper I dig, the more decay I find!... all bikes look shiny on the surface and even shinier from 10ft away!... but get under their petticoats and the horrors are revealed!
Sure thing, it was Day 2 of the 'teardown', not of the project... I wanted to do the motor first whilst it was still in the frame, as with all the torque wrenching and pulling around involved in building an engine, it was easier just to use the frame as a jig to hold it in place.
Really enjoying these episodes! I revise my thinking that Harleys somehow had less going on in the bits and pieces construction than their other motorcycle manufacturer brethren, amazing the sheer number of items tucked away in there!
Ahh, 'simplify & add lightness' - truly an Ulrika* moment (*a post Brexit 'eureka' - I KNOW she is, but she lives here now) You'll be glad of all this superbly shot footage come rebuild time . . . gotta beat having two Polaroids & a bad sketch eh. Quick tip re. rusty nipples & bleed valves etc. - a sheet of cheap corn plasters in your box, (like little 'soft felt' Polo mints) Stick 1 or 3 over the offender first, they'll 'wick' the Kroil in place & help stop those excruciatingly expensive run-offs : )xx
Now that's why I love You Tube and Lod dude... sterling tips that I shall employ! And as for corn plasters, at my age they're in the cupboard next to the Ralgex and the Voltarol... oh and not forgetting the aspirins and the statins !!

Del, you’re the first person other than myself that places items in a box. Most others just throw the stuff in a box as it was junk. Good on you. Alan
Always buddy, even if it is junk!... I see those TV shows where they deliberately throw and destroy parts they're not going to use and it makes me cringe... have respect for all things and go lightly through this world, even if it's junk!

How do Harley get their bikes to rust so comprehensively, just luck or poor quality components?😂
Hypnotique!
I would love to do a full tear down but so many little pieces.
Proper strip down then mate.
Great work tho del.keep it goin
Le travail est toujours aussi passionnant à suivre. La réalisation et le montage rendent l'aventure fascinante. Aucun contact de la BBC?
Merci Cédric, nous apprécions vraiment vos aimables paroles.
Are you familiar with the nastaliga super part Harley Davidson part chevy American maid?
Were you in a '70's sitcom ? Just asking for a friend
Na they say I look like LT Dan in forest gump lmao
noticed at 9.39 the cylinders were already S&S... this at day 2... I thought her was stock....
my bad... I see you already ha done the conversion... sorry... keep us posted...
Sure thing, it was Day 2 of the 'teardown', not of the project... I wanted to do the motor first whilst it was still in the frame, as with all the torque wrenching and pulling around involved in building an engine, it was easier just to use the frame as a jig to hold it in place.
Really enjoying these episodes! I revise my thinking that Harleys somehow had less going on in the bits and pieces construction than their other motorcycle manufacturer brethren, amazing the sheer number of items tucked away in there!
Thanks buddy, glad you're enjoying the series.
Awesome
Nice detail and camera work again... appreciating the tear down procedure. 👍
Thanks buddy👍
Anybody else in here look at their iPhone when he got a text message sound notification?
Ahh, 'simplify & add lightness' - truly an Ulrika* moment (*a post Brexit 'eureka' - I KNOW she is, but she lives here now)
You'll be glad of all this superbly shot footage come rebuild time . . . gotta beat having two Polaroids & a bad sketch eh.
Quick tip re. rusty nipples & bleed valves etc. - a sheet of cheap corn plasters in your box, (like little 'soft felt' Polo mints)
Stick 1 or 3 over the offender first, they'll 'wick' the Kroil in place & help stop those excruciatingly expensive run-offs : )xx
Now that's why I love You Tube and Lod dude... sterling tips that I shall employ! And as for corn plasters, at my age they're in the cupboard next to the Ralgex and the Voltarol... oh and not forgetting the aspirins and the statins !!
Statin? - 'just the tip & only for a minute!'
