I really love the whole "need a tool, make a tool" philosophy, regardless of how cheap or expensive buying one is. Foot pegs or Kick stands attached to the engine via side cases or engine blocks, utterly terrify me lol.

two years its been sitting .. waiting .. valves rusting from mouse piss leaking through the recently uncovered nest in the manifold .... Your videos reignited the building blaze !! Thank You for your videos and inspirational approach and detail to things another garage builder would encounter. Your videos are not just how to work on bikes but how to work on yourself through the bikes. Chop Wood Carry Water in a Fantastic Mirror of Chop Frames and Carry Oil.. You Rock.

Thank You from the very bottom of the crankcase, Smokey

This series is pure gold Del. So many great tips like the cardboard templates where you arrange the bolts and the orderly way you lay out the parts as you disassemble them. This is a perfect text book for any one thinking of doing a job like this. Looking forward to the custom tool you will be making. Best wishes to you and Penny and thank you for another great post.

Last 3 videos have been amazing Del! Very informative, such beautiful editing! The videos flow so well, I watch all your videos on tv hence not always commenting,
Project is very exciting, I bet your mind is in overdrive with the ‘look’ of the bike once the mechanicals have been done, I’m excited for you when you receive all the parts from HD! As always, have a lovely blessed rest of your week both of you! Cherish one another, smile, have fun, laugh, and ride if you can, ain’t that weather got nippy today though 😬 haha, Much love, Luke x

Hey Del and Penny, beautifully made video as always. Content, format, information, editing - all second to none, and I have an inkling of how much work you put into that. And while I do miss Springy and The Blokes now and then, the sound of fasteners cracking loose, oil splashing into a pan and vinyl gloves squeaking on a hex key is the most beautiful of music. Thanks for everything you do!
P.S. Always nice to see a bolt map in use - I'm a big fan!

Amazing video!!! Lots of great info. The ideal motorcycle workshop and the best techniques on display. Nothing even comes close to this.

When you did this series I watched and learned a lot. Now, two years later, I have a 92 Sportster and am doing a lot of the same stuff you did here! Once again you have a video for something before I even needed it. I will say your engine looks a LOT better than mine with 45k miles. I am thinking about a 1200 kit as well now.

[raydouglas]

Great work again Del. Brings back a lot of memories when I was doing this, picking up some tips still too.

[tinks]

I do like a bit of disassembly. Well done peeps. Look forward to the tool making 👍🏻

[MrBradfordchild]

G'day Delboy, your videos are fantastic! Thanks very much for the time and effort you put into making them, and no music or radio blaring away in the background. As a muso, this makes me very happy! Thanks, form Australia.

Nice to see you are back to wrenching on a sportster again. Started watching your vids when i bought an XR12 about the same time you did videos on yours (too bad it gave you some grief). I still have mine and enjoy it tremendously.

Hi Del & Penny
This episode was a timely reminder to keep on top of maintaining the clutch cable. I know you mentioned in the past using zip ties around each end of the rubber boot. Top tip! The cable looked nice and fresh in the casing but I guess it will being splashed around with oil. I bet it's a different story further up the cable. I know you mentioned replacing it. Cycle manufacturers produce teflon lined cables which last way longer and work much smoother than steel lined cables. Not sure if you can get aftermarket teflon lined cables for motorcycles.
Another fantastic episode Del in every way. Have a good rest of the week both! 🇸🇪🇬🇧👋🏻😊

[TroubadourJuggernaut]

Incredibly clear, tidy, thorough with masterful editing (as usual)

[TechnMoto]

Brining back memories of when I did my primary seals etc. look forward to seeing that tool being built. 👍 keep on brother

[rsbharley]

Excellent video Del & Penny. Looks nice and clean inside mate, looking forward to the making of the clutch spring tool. Penny and you have a great week. Take care, Cheers

[ACoustaDC]

Your filming has gotten so much better over the years.

[JimmyLees-vn]

I could watch you work all day not get tired of it

[renzovc]

Another great video brother! super informative ! it makes sense on making your own tool and saving money specially since you are barely going to use it 👍 can't wait for the next video brother!!! keep up the great work ! stay safe guys cheers from new york 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🍷

[notsoprettyasyou]

Thank you for the clear instructions - the torx 27 of the clutch-cover are much easier to remove, if you give them a ligth kick with the hammer before moving....

[PatriotNC]

Again, a very informative video. You thoroughly explain each step you take, which is great for those who haven't dug that deep into their Sportsters. I look forward to your future videos, really enjoying them.
