The smile when you put the level on the bracket said it all. If Del is happy with the results you can bet it's perfect. That belt sander is a great addition to the tool arsenal in the shop. The fact that it is a work of art makes it even better. It's cool seeing each addition to the bike without knowing what final result you have in mind. Many thanks and a great weekend to you and Penny. ❤👍👍

Thank you so much Rick, you're right, the belt sander is a game changer, it's absolutely savage at turning metal in to dust and really speeds up what would be otherwise laborious work... I've left a link under the video to Manchester Grinders, check out their website, you'll see that all their models are works of art. Have a great weekend, ride safe, D&Px

I'm currently streetfigehtering my gen1 busa. Mine looks a little different but one thing I will say is a company in Germany called Gimbel do special air intakes for street fightered hayabusa's for me it made it look more aggressive. Definitely worth a look

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that, I'll give it a look as I'm always up for a change!

Nice result on this bracket so far, I'm looking forward to how you further support it and how you will tidy up all the wiring/hoses, etc! Grease-board quote was spot on again today! Snow and ice right into 4 days of monsoon wind/rain is fizzling out today....hope to start logging some miles this next week! Feels like it's been a long Winter! Cheers to you both!

Thanks for your kind words Allen as always, need to brace it up nice and solid and reduce as much excess metal as possible so it's strong and light... your weather sounds horrible, and we thought we had it bad over here with a few weeks of rain! Enjoy your Sunday D&Px

First I thought: These lampes are huge. But then the Busa is huge, too. So it's a perfect fit. Yellowish Cibié like in 1970/80ies endurance racing looks would be great. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

Hi Del & Penny. Excellent video, job well done mate, looking good . Hope all is well with you both and you are starting to get some bike riding weather, still the same over this side 30C days. Take care and have a relaxing weekend. Cheers

Thanks mate for your kind words as usual, glad you approve 👍... the weather's improving now, it's that transitional time with warmish days but still cold nights... went out on a late night club ride last night, got back midnight and it was properly perishing lol so you can send us some of that sunshine any time you like!! Take care and enjoy your Sunday, D&Px

Alright del n penny, great short series on the busa, coming along sweet 👍💯 i havnt seen one in your workshop but a fabrication table would help, when your welding these projects you can clamp the suckers to the table to prevent any warpage/distortion to a min, there a godsend del, there are small ones available like tabletop, keep up the cracking work mate it will soon be warm enough for a cruise!! 🥶😰🌧️🌝 Not warm enough yet for me haha

You and me both Jim, Harleys are my passion too, but it's interesting and constructive to work on other bikes too. Glad you're enjoying it.

She's coming along great! Man, that sander is the Bee's Knees! It has probably paid for itself in time saved already, plus, it just looks wicked kewl! I was curious if you were going to go for "level mount unladen" or "level mount when mounted". Of course, the lights will be aimed, but I was curious which way you would go when leveling the bottom of the mount. I like the way you chose; level unloaded, since YOU will only see it when you are off the bike. Just like you can see that you absolutely made the right choice to move your clocks over, since it would have been noticeable at times like when you had the camera shooting from behind the tail when you were strapping her down. I noticed that my eye, without even thinking, was drawn to how the centers of the clock, the bar mounts, and the general overview of the bike were all in agreement. That 2.5 mils off from before the correction would be much more noticeable from the long view; the farther back, the bigger the difference. She is indeed coming along great! Enjoy the weekend, D&P. Now, I'm thinking that it might be time to pull the boots on and go listen to the music :)

Yes indeed, little things can nag at you and need doing, so took the time with this one to get it right... no way of really determining whether the front would dip more than the rear when you get on it, plus of course when you pull away the front's going to lift... so just using the measurements completely unloaded as a datum point... Have a great weekend mate, always good to hear from you!

I dig the concept, not gonna lie. Great work! Question though, even if it seems you used quite a thick piece of steel, I am thinking that those headlights are sticking out enough that when you ride, they might wobble. Do you think another piece coming down from the clocks bracket to this one would give some extra strength and support? Of course, without disrupting the aesthetics

I guess you skipped the introduction, I did kinda make it clear that this is Phase 2, and that in the final stage it'll be triangulated to make it rigid, just stick with it and check out the next video...

Quite a challenge! I would suggest rounding the corners off as precautions not punching scrapping from injury in case. Otherwise looks great.
