Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the longer stuff, it's a creative process i love getting involved in and the result is just a bonus, take care and thank you for your kind support as always.
I’ll bet the old geometry set sees more action now than it ever did in school 😆

Ha ha, sorry mate, im the same too if i find a series and it's not finished, but then that's how i found and followed some of the best channels i've ever known..
I’ll admit, I would have explored every option to cut those pieces other than doing it myself. Hope to see this come together how you like it

Thank you mate, im looking forward to getting on with it.
Great video mate 👍 Do you have a link for your centre punch please 🙏
The console looks like it will be really cool, but my thoughts are on that grinder modification to get such extreme SPEED! Are you running Nitro Methane in your grinder now? Nitrous Oxide? Perhaps dual turbos? Roots blower?? Whatever it is, that baby cuts FAST!! Got those Halibrand Snap-Off Wheels, as well!

Naah, it's electric... have you not heard how much faster electric wheels are than petrol wheels.. Mind you, you never get there any quicker coz you have to stop every 100 miles and spend 2 hours recharging...!!

@@Moonfleet41 Well, your grinder must be one of those Tesla grinders that can travel at Ludicrous Speed, maybe even go PLAID!
Cool brother!

Hi Delboy, I always liked the streetbob but I always thought the shape of the gas tank ruined the looks of the bike. It appears that this new tank will do wonders to the looks of the bike. Can't wait to see the finished product. As usual I think you will nail it. Best regards, Frank from Florida.

Thanks mate, it seems to be a very popular (if very expensive) conversion on the Street Bob forums. i guess im doing it for the same reasons, i want the traditional looks and the bigger tank range, 12 litres with a big engine gives it no more than 120 mile tank range which is a bit irritating, this tank should almost double it !
I can't wait to see the next chapters of this fabrication! it's looking great!

Thank you! 😊
Quite the ambitious design there Del but it looks really cool even at this early stage. Were you ever a draftsman ? Some serious drafting went into making that template. Good call on the big tank. I had a Sporty with a peanut tank years ago and it was always exciting when you had to flip the reserve on. 😁 Many thanks, Del and Penny. This is going to be a great series. ❤👍👍

Sure thing Rick, just enjoy mapping out plans because if you take enough time with them and get it right, you just have to follow it after that and the job comes out alright! Thank you so much, as always, for your wonderful support... it's always good to hear from you, D&Px
Nice one Del 👍 I can see that it will look quite effective 👍 Keep up the great work Del 'n' Pen 👍

Doesn't look much at the moment, but can't wait to see next video and see the transformation on the English wheel, great video Sir
Muito bom parabéns
Nice job so far Del
Looks interesting. The size of fuel tanks on Harleys, new ones anyway is rediculous. I was walking the Thames from Kingston and there was a new one, can't remember the name but is was a Harley. It was beautiful and I said so to the owner who came rushing out when he saw a stranger eyeing up his bike. I mentioned the stupid size of tank and he pointed to around oblong tube strapped to the side of his left fork ! That was a reserve tank ! If I could legislate I would ensure that all bikes over 1000cc had at least a 25 litre tank on board. I think he said his tank was 12 litres ? Geez I might be wrong, but that is stupid IMHO.. Very interested to see how this central console works out though :)

Yes the new range of Softails do come with a 12l tank which is quite restrictive on range and just doesn't provide that classic Harley Davidson style... !

One of the joys of being at the wrong end of my 50's is tank range doesn't concern me anymore. I'm limited by bladder range. I don't plan road trips by fuel stops so much, more by toilet facilities!! Keep up the good work Del.
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice work Del!

Hi Tom, no the shirt and cap were a very kind gift from a viewer and friend of ours, and one of Sarasota's finest. He sent it to us as a momento and a token of friendship. Thank you so much for your kind words, and of course, thank you for your sevice.
Outstanding work, its going to look great.
I'm impressed Del. You've come a long way. 👏👏👏

Yep, long term project, back to it soon!
Not for the first time, I’m wishing I lived in England. The stuff you could fabricate for my Indian Springfield!!
More metalic artistry! Gonna look great!
Your star's Del and Penny was reminded of Hollywood's "Walk of Fame" with your opening sequence 😊 Love, as always, the ingenuity and creativity!
How is it you always have mild steel offcuts at the ready? Do you pinch them from work?.. lol... Great work as ever Del.
