Looks great. I would add a couple holes at the low point. To allow rain to drain
Im currently doing research into gps speedometers after I purchased this exact one, I found some daylight especially when these was reflection off it at me I couldn't read the screen at all, I really like this one but after having mine for over a year now there was lots of cases of this. I'm only just having a quick think now about what could help minimise this and im thinking if it was housed in a recess that faced me of course something like that would work, at night time though holy moly this thing is visible from ages away and extremely clear!!
Hi Del, I get that you are doing a bare bones Busa but i think a GSXR 750 dash from the 98 ish era would have looked good. My one and only street fighter was a GSX 600 teapot and the GSXR race dash looked superb, probably the best bit of the build looking back. You have probably guessed I am more of a traditionalist with my bikes, that said i do enjoy seeing the fabrication work being done.
I just thought that air intakes through the tank would compliment the front and would look awesome.. nice seeing the progress
Nicely done, Del. Good idea to make it small and just plain and useful. Hope you both are doing well. Mother-in-law’s birthday today so she gets an extra carrot in the feedbag and if she behaves we’ll let her use the indoor washroom as a special treat. 😎 Take good care of each other! 🏍👍🏍
Hey Gary.. good to hear from you sir, and yeah, plain simple and useful.. Oh and maybe some sawdust in the indoor washroom floor.. you know how they can leak a bit and all that.! Keep safe sir, and stay in touch.
@@Moonfleet41 oops too late! 😎
Loved the wheel swap : oops it’s tape, oh wow a cookie, ahh now back to work ! 👍🏻🤠👍🏻
I've been researching various GPS Speedos, confusing
What brand or model is this
Thanks
Hahaha the roll of tape and the biscuit were very funny 😆😆
Realy enjoying the project!!
Thank you Han. Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there a link to this unit? I have seen similar but none of them say they are waterproof.
Brillitant Idea, just one question: Is using GPS only tachimeters even legal? I do not know the British MOT system but my guess is that in other parts of Europe (at least) this wouldn't fly. Here in CH I would at least doubt it they would probably question how do you know your speed in a tunnel or other spots without GPS signal?
Also I would add some connection to the bikes electrical system so I do not need to worry about the battery failing mid ride.
1) Will you be able to switch it on when wearing gloves ? ... 2) Why not use a USB cable to keep it charged?
Could it be any smaller? People are going to think it's a giant off roader. Love it.
Thanks delboy and P for the video
This looks great Del
Lovely little bit of fabrication
Nice job
You guys keep safe over there and thanks for your kind words of support
Nick Australia
Hi Nick, good to hear from you always mate, glad you're enjoying the videos, keep safe and well mate and look after the family, D&Px
Your bike obviously. Taking off the important info that the stock garages provide would be a hard one for me to swallow. No odometer or fuel meter?
Looks cool, minimalist. Would have expected it well hidden and stealth, but as you said: You have to see it and handle the key.
Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
I hate you DB , Why because you always make everything look so easy. Great video. Collecting an HD Fat Boy next week and was worried about the speedo being in the tank and wearing a Full Face helmet so I think you've solved the problem. Thanks.
I ride my Harleys in a full face and never have a problem with tank mounted speedos, you sit quite a way back from them, so it should be just a glance down at best... good luck with your new bike and ride safe!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks Del for both your advice and kind comments.I,ll give it a go then but I know because of your video what to do if I do have an issue Ted
😂🤣😅.......loved the masking tape, rich tea faulty finger click transition. Made me laugh after a truly crap day. Del as always truly awesome video's Brother and some news my Thunderbird has arrived and the Legend build is already helping me make sense of tricky build. Thank you so much Brother. Absolutely fantastic to see you back. Love and hugs from Donna and I to You and Penny Pitstop ❤
Hey Philip, good to hear from you brother, and im glad to hear that you're under way with your project.. have fun with it and enjoy the journey all the way.. take care and keep safe.. best regards to you both.. D&Pxx
I assume the speedo is backlit should u b riding at night or bright enough to be used at night?
black background, lit numbers..! glows green at night.
Muscle bike!!!... Fantastic idea
looks nice, is it safe..? if you have a front inpackt..? i hope so..
i left my bare ends with no weight. do i need them..? i feel no divert when i drive, can you pleasy tell me of i have the place them back.?
sorry my english is sooo bad..
The only thing you may find with no bar weights is pulling hard out of corners or slowing down into turns the steering can head-shake a little, and that can develop into a tank slapper.. i always have some if i can.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks, i will place them back, i did feel a starting tank slapper, thanks again.👍
What a brilliantly simple idea to a problem most builders have,a doft Yorkshire cap your way Del,I can’t wait to see what you do with the arse end
Thanks mate, back end will be an minimal as physically possible, got to finish this front first, more to trim off it and improve on the shape a bit.. but now its for all the essentials, i can get busy with the grinder next time.
@@Moonfleet41 I’m looking forward to seeing where and how you stash the electrics,I’m having a nite mare with mine,I did nick your routing idea for the front,I was struggling to get the air box back on as well,cheers
Crazy idea, but let's see where this minimalism goes :-)
It looks fantastic Del. Great fabrication as usual. I hope you are both well my friend
Thanks mate👍, we're both fine, hope you're keeping well too.
@@Moonfleet41 that’s great, I’m alright thank you very much. Looking forward to the warmer weather to get the bike out! Take good care
i would have moved the ignition and made it keyless and mounted the speedo low. nice idea though. bet it will hammer its battery shame it cant be wired to the bike
I have tested it in the car and it lasts at least 8 hours before it runs flat, so more than long enough for any one ride.. Thanks for your kind input mate, much appreciated.
This is your mad maxy wasteland ride! Neat speedo.. 😊
Indeed it is!
I think you have to test it because the GPS signal can be blocked with this metal case, this can happen due to the weakness of the GPS signal.
Great work thanks for sharing this.
1 ? did you make drain holes for water ?, but nice work
Very nice discreet mount Del, I really like it. Appeals to my minimalist nature, great job.
The biscuit really got me😆.
Thanks Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Del looks good what is it powered by and does it illuminate for night riding Nice touch with the biscuit has Penny any chocolate ones available
Thanks buddy, it has an internal power cell that charges by USB like a phone, lasts 35hrs between charges! ... there's always choccy biccies, but they are rationed now lol
Where is the speedometer from?
This is working up to a really cool bike Del. Another great video👍
Thanks buddy.. having fun with it. 👍
I’ve got the same speedo on my CB750, I’ve had it for a couple of years now, it’s a backup and it’s accurate.
is it battery powered and do you need to charge it?
@@plageran usb charged, and I have a usb charging point on the bike.
@@robertsykes6309 looks like Del will have to charge during break stops..... he didn't leave any opening for wiring
@@plageran it does have enough charge to last a few hours. Probably enough for that bike's purpose i.e. FUN. If you want something for touring you probably would fit a USB charge point, which is what I did. it's not difficult.
@@robertsykes6309 thanks for the info
A great piece of kit - combined with creative and functional fabrication - a thoroughly enjoyable video Del - thanks as always for sharing - great to see you looking so well mate - hope PP well too! Go safe!
Thank you Mike.. it's so good to hear from you mate, we hope you're keeping well.. and thanks for the kind words, it was a fun day in the garage. PP says hi..
Hi ya mate hope your well ? Nice and neat do you not need to record the mileage you do ? 🤘
Thanks mate, healing well and getting back to normal, one day at a time.
Del, still no second grinder, 1 for cutting & 1 for flap wheel ? Of course that would end your finger click change trick, what was I thinking !
Very small and neat. Great video sir
Simple always looks better nice job del 👍
Curious if the metal will interfere with the GPS signal
Doesn't seem to, finds a signal after about 10 minutes, holds it steady.
That's Awesome Del 👌 Penny and You Del Ride Safely and Have An Awesome Week 🤗
Thank you Paul, you too Sir.. enjoy your week..
Someday I would love to see you cut with a plasma torch and use a tig welder during your fabrications. Great job by the way!
Me too Jason, that would be awesome..
(P) Gotta love the interference fit on the metalwork 👍🏻 Handy that it was left over from the ZX7R 😀
Yeah, best fit of all mate, almost as secure as one bungie..! (Hope you're all keeping well mate).
Brilliant job, love the creativity. I find it intriguing how there's always a few expert TH-cam welding inspectors that have to hit the dislike button.
Ha ha yeah, inspectors who themselves don't own a welder.! maybe we should call them "keyboard welders".!! in fact i have actually found that with the machining community who make a living using a lathe and milling machines... they are the most generous, helpful and 'keen to teach' people you will come across... it's those who don't do it themselves who tell others how to..:-)
@@Moonfleet41 yep agreed. I had a fine chap once give an uncalled for opinion on a build video that I made basically telling me what I did was crap and so forth. Surprisingly he had not a single bit of content on his channel for me to check out his level of expertise so I politely replied saying that we’re all entitled to an opinion and asked if he’s ever done a build. He said no never had done a build or restoration but his family used to be in some sort of bike trade so that must be were the expert opinion came from.
Brilliant idea.... an Absolutely top class job...love it..👍
Thank you very much!
When doing finger trick, get the grinder do the work for you….. 😉
Might have a look for these around my part of the world. I re-geared my bike and don’t want to flip for 100s of dollars for a speedo healer. Haha
Go for it buddy, it;s a great solution, they're accurate and easy to use.. have a good weekend and keep safe.. D&Pxx
Neat. neat, neat.
Fabulous fabrication Del.
Brilliant mate!
Thanks buddy, happy with that..!
Looking good very smooth nice job my friend 👌👌
Thanks 👍
It turned out great, as always!
Hi Harold, good to hear form you Sir, we hope you're keeping well and safe... Thank you for your kind words, and have a great weekend..
Does it pass MOT?
Turned out really nice I like it great job sir.
Thank you kindly
Living in the UK.... would a drain hole be advisable?? 😕
Never rains here mate..!
Good job Del , hope you are feeling ok .
can't wait to see the finished bike. hope there'd be a recording of its maiden ride
Have I missed a link? Would really appreciate one. Keep up the great work. Loved your rat builds. Thanks
Greetingz from the Netherlands 👍👍
Looks slick Del, great work bud 👌
Thanks Dale. 👍
Out of this world! 📡❇
Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
Why thank you too kindly Sir.. You can stay.!
Was thinking why was it placed so high... if it was just the key, why not relocate it?
Steering lock!
Ah.. that ol thing... depending on where you are they just snap it any way, but it can slow them down a tad.
Very tidy job, is Einstein a hero of yours Del? I have read a lot about him and loved his take on life.
I think so Andy, certain quote he made make a lot of sense..
BRILLIANT THIS. its the kind of thing most can do when the mind is focused. the tools used are pretty accessible too -
Is that speedo water proof?
Yes Nathan, i mentioned that in the video..!
@@Moonfleet41 sorry del. Have you tried making parts out of paper foam board and carbon/glass? It is brilliant for stuff like this. I made a wind deflector for my ktm which came out beautiful and super light. The benefit is that it's super easy to cut the back side with a knife and fold really precise angles. Then cover with cf cloth, sand smooth then give a flow coat of resin and it looks like a shop bought piece
That was enjoyable!
I’ve been watching a few guys building custom bikes on YT and thought about you. And now here you are. This is fun stuff. Hope you enjoy your new gig. Can’t wait to see it finished. BTW is your shop in a bird sanctuary?
Ha ha, thanks buddy, we are in a very rural village setting, farm fields all around, with trees and hedges surrounding us.. so yeah, the birds are our constant companions..
Ah! Ah! Ah!...Excellent le biscuit!!!
Done well looks cool mate 😊
Lovely metalwork but I will be surprised if it can pick up the satellites surrounded by all that metal.
Pretty nifty. 👍 Cheers boss 🍻🥳
Thank you! Cheers mate
silly question... but.. Your not blocking the GPS receiver inside the unit with all that metal are you?
Stranger things have happened.
No mate, takes about 10 minutes till it finds a satellite and stays steady green..!
@@Moonfleet41 phew. I've had a samsung note phone, not pick any satellites up, from under a touring screen, when it was fixed to the handle bars, attach it to an arm holder on the back of the screen, no problems, hence stranger things have happened lol.
Anyway.. your looking healthy.
I'm 40% of the way thru a re-vamp, rebuild of the Viking army bike/Xj900s divi.
No vids tho lol. Going to use your fork seal replacement vids to re-do the fork seals, and making your waste pipe plastic tool, when I get to that point.
@@th3v1k1ngW4rri0r Yeah i tested it pretty extensively first, it works inside a car, even in the glove box, it still keeps a signal... it'll work well now its out in the open... Good luck with the project mate, hope it goes well.
This guy makes my day and I am so glad he has recovered enough to continue inspiring us. And I must give credit for the professional filming also. Up close when needed ,the right tempo ... It requires a lot of work to accomplish that. So, the best and grateful regards from Sweden /KB
Thank you KB, i take each day at a time, some days i can work in the garage all day, and others i just need to stay home and rest.. we really appreciate your kind words sir.. thank you.
Why not add TPMS on it while you at it??? I thought it was Kwel!!
Brilliant, I actually laughed out loud at the biscuit moment 🤣
Looking great Del can you drop a link to where you purchased the speedo from 💪💪👍🏴
Sorry mate, 5 years ago now and the online seller has gone.!
@@Moonfleet41 cheers Del for quick reply I'll have to have a search online see what comes up 👍👍
@@MrG61-u9k cheers Cliff 👍
Another great video! Can you please share the link to the GPS Speedo you used? Thanks...
Sadly i dont have that, i bought it about 5 years ago online for a previous project, and the seller has gone now... im sure there are items like it still available.. sorry can't be more help.
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for the reply. I've been looking for that one since I saw the video. I want something that is rechargeable with buttons on the front. No luck yet. Thanks again...
@@MrG61-u9k Thank you for the info! Take Care...
👌👌👌
As always, Del, good job well done.
And as someone else put, I may have been tempted to put a couple of drainage holes, and maybe a way to hardwire a power supply?🤷♂️
That said, I'm loving the way the Busa is coming together.
Stay well, and much love to both yourself and PP too😍
Thanks Val, im leaning towards a plug hole in the bottom right corner where the USB hole is.. and that'll see to any water issues too.!
think you need some new gloves my man! busa is looking mean! x
Ha ha, i do indeed.. but i like to get value for money form them buddy... they don't come cheap ya know..!
Nice work Del. Very impressed.👍🏍️
Is it 1.21 gigawatts .
Great Scott Marty...!
@@Moonfleet41 . So what happens @ 87 mph .
one word brilliant m8 looks great atb iain
Thanks Iain,👍 Glad you like it mate..
Top job del I really like how you built that into the front
Interesting
Interesting
Hi
What the name of that Gps spedometer?
Love your videos! 👌😉
I can't remember mate, no name in the pod, i bought it maybe 5 years ago for a previous project.!
Wicked work mate....May I suggest a new pair of gloves in the interest of your protection?
Thanks Jon.. as long as the rubber palms are intact i can eak them out till the backs are shredded..
Looking good Del, i'm starting to see your vision for the bike now.
Cheers Dave.
Looking as good as ever, Del! I swear watching you is like getting a masters class...like the Legend, I do not want this build to end, but I am really eager to see how it all comes together!
@5-28 love the masking tape biscuit click finger trick, 😂😂😂 can you click for cadbury's chocolate fingers too Dell??? Great job. Vinny. 👏👏👏
Dunno mate, ill give it a try next time..!
Good job, Del! You told that all you need is to see the speed. What about the neutral, high beam, oil and indicator lights? Also, you'll need to see when the tank is full or empty. Those informations are necessary, so it'd be great if you add them.
i've been riding for 6 years with a bike that has no clocks, no indicators of any kind and is grat, you don't need them if you pay attention to the bike.
Excellent job its looking good. Having lots of fun watching Yr back catalogue cheers del
Great job Del!
Hey TH-cam. Stop republican immagrant comercials!!?!!
Very clever, and the perfect solution for this build, Del! Impressive as always. Looking forward to see the progress as you move forward. Hope you're taking good care of you and doing well with the recovery.
Thanks Don.. yes mate, taking care and making progress, good days and bad days, but always forward.. thanks for your kind support..
Like it del looks ace lovely little speedo 👍
It's the fabrication for me
Excellent vid Del 👍
Nice fab work Del! Thanks for the explanation at the end as to why you mounted it higher up - makes total sense! Take care, you two, and be well. :)
Thanks John,👍 Good to hear from you mate... have a good week..
Great video mate, enjoying all of this build 👍
Ride safe.
Thanks mate, really appreciate your kind words, glad you're enjoying it, made some groovy handlebar weights for it for tomorrows videos.. just got to finish the editing..
@@Moonfleet41 Nice one mate looking forward to seeing them 👍
Very nice job Del. That speedo look's a great bit of kit. Penny and you have a good week mate. Cheers
Thanks mate, neat and simple aye, "path of least resistance" and all that. have a good week mate, and keep safe.
brother it looks amazing 👍 great job , the bike is coming along really cool ! didnt know they make speedometers like that, great option ! stay safe guys cheers from new york!!!
Hey brother, great to hear from you, hope you're both keeping safe and well... thanks for your kind words, happy with the outcome on this so far, just got to button it up with some paint and graphics! Have a safe week there you two, D&Px
Great job Del, proper bit of engineering.
