It's amazing how adding one little curve can change the look of a piece...Before you put on the under-tray, my little eye screamed "Too straight!" Too much pointing up!" Then just like that, the little duck tail in the under-tray flowing downwards, following the radius of the tire, and all is well and right with the world again.

I prefer this look. Glad you found what you were looking for out there!

Me too, it was a chance find while shopping for options and donor materials, i must say i would rather have built it all myself, but even finding the parts to do that is a task in itself.!

1:45 : OHHHHHH NO,,,,, SOMEONE`S STOLE THE 10mm SOCKET !!!! The struggle is real boys, and here`s the proof lol. Great vid Del, the bike looks so much better with that back end on it than the old one, be a nice bike once it`s done. Take care. Glen West Mids.

Del, I like this style of video where you are talking to the camera and explaining your thought process.

Looks 1 million times better than when it rolled out the factory.

Much Better Del...!! Really liking the direction this is going now 👍 BG

This is a nice new look, Del! Can’t wait to see the finished product. On a related subject, the wife and I have undertaken a significant project with regards to the MIL. She’s beginning to have some mobility problems, so I’ve started the process of grafting a Ural sidecar to her right hip. This will help her balance and yet at the same time provide some stability and utility (she can help with hauling gravel, leaves and even bring in larger postal packages). I’ve been having a small challenge with fasteners as the screws I’ve been using have been rejecting her and I really am worried about the health of the screws. Will keep you updated if interested. Hope you both are well. 🏍️👍🏍️

@Moonfleet41

3 ай бұрын

Oh wow, sounds like a wonderful project, just make sure you put a braked wheel on the sidecar as every time she tries to stop she'll turn right and over turn! Try some graphite anti-seize on the MIL, it puts a non-ferrous layer between the two surfaces providing an anti-rejection barrier! Have fun and good luck!!!!!

Really wanted to thank you and your wife for the videos. I’m watching the older ones I bought a triumph Sprint 955 I. From a charity auction.

Hi Del, I`ve never really liked the bulky look of the Hyabusa, or the awful "whale tail" type seat unit on the TL1000R, and felt a GSX-R1000 seat would look much better, so to see you do this very conversion proves my theory right. It will look so much better when it`s done.

Great find on the new-to-you tail assembly. Looks perfect and a great way to start a new project. Flap disc is a great little tool isn't it ? When you just want to finesse something a little bit.
