Great demonstration of patience and detail. It is very relaxing to watch a proper rebuild taking the time to do everything as it should be, right down to polishing those rusty retaining springs and pins. Well done, Happy New Year!
It seemed crass to comment at the time so I let it sink in a few days.. So very sorry about J . His humbucker and wah signifying the onset of spectacular songs remains engrained in our collective memories. I wasn't close and didn t have the privilege that you had to be a true friend to the band . But have loved their unique talent since you brought it to us through your channel.. I am gutted for you and mourn the loss of a fellow musician ..there's a joy in creating art . Something that previously didn t exist. My eyes are not dry , I Can't say why . I never met this Inspiring Guy. The music lives It never ends , To share to cherish This Feast of Friends. ☮❤
Absolutely great job on the rear brake rebuild, the caliper with the new braided hose looks amazing Del. Some great music playing from Feast of Freinds while we all sit back and watch you do your craft. RIP Jason Simmons, our thoughts are with all his friends and family, God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind tribute Graham, Jason's family and friends will greatly appreciate that. Take care and keep safe, and thank you for your kind support.. D&Pxx
Very sorry to hear about you m8 Jason. It's great you remember him in this way. So, I got essentially same bike (Thunderbird Sport 900 - 2004). Same rear brake system. Brand new brake disc. Rebuilt the caliper, new pistons, seals, nipple. new hose (ss braid) etc. Completely cleaned (ultrasonic) housing. Went back together even better than yours. Rebuilt master cylinder, new seals, piston, spring etc.... again went back together easy. New brake pads - brand new. Bleed system, pump brakes, get grip. Take out for a burp - apply rear brake - slight slowdown. Take pads out, scuff with a little emery cloth (sandpaper) - lightly. Clean with brake cleaner. Take out second time - no difference. Even an elephant can't lock up back wheel.... NOT an air lock issue, that I can guarantee. Buy BRAND NEW master cylinder. Take out. Same elephant can't lock up wheel. Rear brake so slight, weak, pathetic. I compare to my Honda CB600F/CB900F which have great rear braking. What's wrong with the Triumph rear brake??? Essentially new brakes/fluid. Thank, by the way and Happy New Year. Best
I have a 1995 Triumph Tiger with a similar set up. 25 years on, the brakes have been rebuilt about 8 times ~ every 3 years as part of a deep maintenance program. Some ideas I developed to add to yours; I use ultrasonic cleaning & selectively mask off the parts you painted then later machine sanded (no loss of metal that way). Also a good time to consider a colour change. You mentioned using a suitable sized socket to push down a rubber dust seal. I also use it at the wire wheel for loose holding bolt/screw heads, followed up by a rattle can clear coat finish. Uneven parts at the wire wheel are always done with gloves or holding with Vise Grip locking pliers for safety & not losing them as they might pull out of your hands. Doing it often (before they start looking like 12m:42s on this video) helps to prevent that corrosion. My pistons are still within spec at 133,xxx, km & 25 years (over 50% on gravel or through mud). I usually only have to change the O-rings in the callipers, with other rubber parts every 6 years or so when inspected often enough. Same goes for hydraulic clutches on those machines so equipped
Thank you kindly Sir, we really appreciate that, treasure those you love, for we never know how long they will be in our lives.. have a great weekend and keep safe.. Del.
Another lovely video. Great to see the high quality of workmanship in each and every video on your channel. Sorry about your friend. May he rest in peace.
Thank you Mike, it is a sad loss, and so sudden too, treasure all the close people around you, and value every day with the ones you love.. Take care and keep safe sir.. D&Pxx
Just got done with the same rebuild using the same parts you sourced and your video for reference. Clockwork. Like new after 22 years. Bit of weeping where the hose connects to the reservoir so that gets replaced. Other than that, just perfect.
That's wonderful news Edward, am glad you got it fixed, they're a really simple straightforward caliper and so easy to restore... the bike looks great now!
Sorry to hear about your friend mate, 2020 has given us all a kick in the nutsack one after another, my deepest condolences to his family and all his mates in the band, i hope everyone has a better year in 2021, smashing vid Del, all my best wishes to you and the Lady P for 2021.
Great video as ever, after my recent query about brake fluid on fresh tough paint, thanks for talking about that at the end, your a star... I'm also right in the middle of refurbing my clutch hydraulics on my old hinkley, so I look forward to your next vid.
Hi Andrew, you're most welcome mate, im glad the videos can help.. ill be fishing the old clutch hose out of mine shortly, it seems they fitted it before they fitted the engine..lol. ho hum, it's all good fun aye.
Thank you kindly Sir, with the year we've all had, it's been an honour to be able to continue the videos and give some light entertainment from the day-to-day stresses.
Great to hear the feast of friends back on the videos, best music on the channel in my opinion. Sorry to see it was in tribute thoughts and condolences to the family and friends. Great job Del on restoring the bike keep up the good work, hope you and penny are keeping well.
Thank you for your kind words Rob, am sure the band would appreciate that, and we're really gllad you've enjoyed the music... we will use it again, from time to time, as it has become a defining theme to our Channel as you say... we're both well, hoping you're the same there.
Wish when I done mine they would come out like this 😂. Excellent job. In your copper grease pot have a little arts paint brush so you don’t have to use a screw driver.
well done 👍 the level of detail is outstanding! cant wait for the next one !!! ive been listening to feast of friends lately while working on my motorcycle as well ! great music
Hey buddy, yes indeed, very cool music by very talented people, such a sad loss to the band, to the world of music and most of all, to his family... it makes us realise that we should value every day and treasure every special person in our lives.
Thanks Del, sorry to hear about your friend whose music has accompanied you through many videos. God bless you and Penny this year. Looking forward to what you have for us on the channel.
I feel a massive feeling of accomplishment when I just watch you doing rebuilds I can't imagine what you feel doing them you should be very pleased with how that came out and I'd like to say well done del you made that look so easy I'll be doing mine before summer and will be having this video to hand while I do as reference for sure hats off to you man 👍👍👍👍
hey Gav, good to hear from you mate, and thanks for the kind support, im glad the video inspires you too.. it is a great feeling of pride when you stand back from any job and enjoy the results.. Good luck with yours, it's always worth doing, brakes are always in the firing line for salt abd weather corrosion, so why not treat them right. Keep safe buddy, and enjoy your weekend. D&Pxx
Really nice result, Del, and have to say that I like this video style quite a lot! Great revisit to music from Feast of Friends....sorry for your loss of friend! Happy New Year!
Thank you Allen, it's the way of the future, we listen to feedback and it seems so many people appreciate just detailed, close up, fingertip demonstration, rather than waffle... an increasing amount of creators just stand and waffle these days, but I think you all prefer a visual demonstration, so we keep it to a minimum and are glad it's appreciated.... thank you for your kind words on Jason.
HNY, Del and Penny! (So sorry to hear about your mate Jason.) This bike is shaping up to be a better than new version! Lucky lad or lass who ends up with it after you! Stay safe- 🏍👍🏍
Thank you Gary, that's very kind, we picked the right donor bike, low mileage, so no significant engine wear, just externally neglected, and you're right, when it's done it should be a really nice bike for someone. Happy New Year, stay safe and well both, D&Px
I liked the socket trick on the calliper rubber mount, haven't seen that before, and I must of re built thousand's of those things in my time, good one. she's certainly developing a tidy rear end Del. Here's to The new year, Hope 21 is going to be better than 20 was.
Great video Del. I really like how you take the time and clean up the parts to get the dirty junk off. Good habit to get into. Great tip on the sprocket and the rubber piece. Will have to try that myself. Music was great. Happy New Year Del. Hope you and your family had a good holiday. Ready to start a new year.
Hey buddy, good to hear from you, glad you enjoyed the video, Thanks for your kind words on the music, it was the best way we could think of to pay respects to a departed friend. Looking forward to a better year and more miles in the sunshine.. after last year, we all have a lot of catching up to do right?.. Take care and keep safe. D&Px
Fun and informative vid as usual Del. I can't wait to "season" some bolts with the torch. Sorry about your friend. His music was and will always be a perfect addidion.
I love to watch your videos mate, it has been a while and even when I am not a mechanic I feel I learn a lot from these. Hope you know that even after all this time, yoru videos are so helpful. Greetings from Mexico
Masterful work and cinematography! I appreciate the fact that you're happy to learn new tips from your viewers. Also, I see that your heat treated spring clips stayed springy. 👍
Hey Harold, YT is a wonderful platform for sharing knowledge, and in this case as you can see, so is the comments box, many things I've learned have come from viewers, it's a great community!
Happy New Year, Del, and thanks a lot again for another fantastic video! Let 2021 be healthy, prosperous and enjoyable for you, your family and your friends!
Ive been looking forward to this one and it certainly didn’t disappoint Del. That calliper looks like new and miraculous what you’ve achieved there. Said it before....love this project. Kind regards.
Hey Beans, thansk so much fo your kind words, it's much appreciated, this bike is a journey and it will hopefully be very special at the end... we're glad to know you enjoy! Happy New Year mate.
Thanks Del, the video length was perfect too, i was cooking a New Years roast and the spuds were due on in 20 mins so was perfect timing 😂....best head over to Patreon soon as i reckon i could build a motorbike now. Happy new year and as always kind regards.
Hey Abouzar, Happy New Year my friend, and wonderful to hear from you as always... thank you so much for your wonderful support over the years, it's great to have your friendship and know that you are out there watching and enjoying! Take care and keep safe, and have a wonderful weekend, D&Px
You and Penny are the definition of meticulous perfection, from the rebuilds and creativity to the camera work, editing and soundtrack. Thank you Del for making these vids so inspiring, you two are simply getting better. Happy New Year you two... love from Oz!
Wow, thank you Paul, we are truly bowled over by your generous kind comments... we set our bar high and we are always working hard to keep pushing ahead and it's great to know it's appreciated and enjoyed. We hope life is bearable in Oz for you, this past year has been a challenge for so many, we vowed to keep the videos coming no matter what, so we are truly grateful for your kind support, wishing you a safe and healthy 2021, ride safe and keep well, all the very best, D&Px
Thank you Paul, wishing you the same Sir, hoping for a better year, which let's face it, won't be difficult.. the vaccine is here now and let's hope we can crest and get on the downside of this as soon as... thank you for your kind words on Jason, it's a sad loss... keep safe and well there Paul, all the best from us both, D&Px
Pint? Heathen . . . tawny Port drizzle & my best teeth; noisy, yet strangely nutritious once the anchovies stop curling up; as for the pizza? - I've no idea. P.S. Ace lighting & close-up work on this one too, Pen : )
Lovely job. By the way, I am running Triumph 4pot calipers on the front of my zx9r. Great improvement over the original 6pots. Thanks for tutorials Del. Take care of yourself and the family mate. 👍🍻
Good Move Ian, i head thats a good upgrade like the Suzuki Bandit 'Nissin" 4 pots.. they may have 2 less pots.. but they're bigger and less prone to clog up and jam with dust and grime.. Good move mate
Looks like new Del. Happy new year Hopefully it’ll be a lot better than the last one and we can all get out on our bikes a bit more than we did last summer
You're so right Matt, we have been honoured to have been able to share within our videos the wonderful music of Feast of Friends, and never have we been so graciously honoured than when they took the time, trouble and effort to get together and record our very own personal theme tune, and not just one version of it, but 4, astonishing people indeed and genuine good souls all of them... JBird will be sorely missed.
Nice work Del & Penny. Looks good mate, the list is getting shorter. Sorry for the loss of your friend, hope you had a good new year. We are looking after your sunshine lol. Cheers
Thanks mate, teaches us to savour every day and all the good times with our closest people.. The bike is rolling along, and im really happy with the standard so far, it should be a good looking bike when it's done.. take care and have a great weekend mate.. and thanks for your awesome support. D&Px
Appreciate your kind words buddy, life can take sudden turns and catch us by surprise and in the dreadful year we've had, I guess it teaches us all to value each other and value every day.
Have you ever tried DIY zinc plating? For those little retaining clips, pins and springs. It would be satisfying to replated in the yellow zinc coating. Something I've always wanted to try for bits that I can't blue with heat and oil. This was a super satisfying video to watch, I love how methodic
Hi Tony, Happy new year to you and your family sir, and thank you for your awesome support as always, take care and have a great weekend.. keep in touch.. D&Pxx
Happy New Year Del to you and Penny. Sorry for your loss! Still watching when writing this but I know it'll be another great video and better quality than the Discovery Channel. I see even today 1st Jan. your loyal thumbs down followers are still showing their appreciation. I get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you are still managing to piss those (saddo's) off ;)
Hi Hughie, thank you for your kind words brother, I guess we have to accept there will always be disaffected and unhappy people, it's just the way of the world... what a strange year it's been, and never more important than to live life every day and treasure every moment with the special people you have... take care and keep safe, and thank you always for your wonderful support, D&Px
Great job that del, also been watching a few from, Really Random Channel , he does similar sort of restorations, so relaxing to watch.I’d watch somebody clean up an old rusty nail! Happy new year to the both of you 👍🏻
Sorry for the loss of your friend, his music is great. I ref your rebuild videos all the time to update my bike. Great stuff !!
Great demonstration of patience and detail. It is very relaxing to watch a proper rebuild taking the time to do everything as it should be, right down to polishing those rusty retaining springs and pins. Well done, Happy New Year!
Thank you Sir for your kind words, glad your appreciate what we do... keep safe and well in 2021, all the best from us both 👍
I really enjoy your videos. Just enough chat to explain the job and then meticulous, well filmed video of the work at hand. Thank you.
Most welcome Steve, glad you enjoyed it.
It seemed crass to comment at the time so I let it sink in a few days..
So very sorry about J .
His humbucker and wah signifying the onset of spectacular songs remains engrained in our collective memories.
I wasn't close and didn t have the privilege that you had to be a true friend to the band . But have loved their unique talent since you brought it to us through your channel..
I am gutted for you and mourn the loss of a fellow musician ..there's a joy in creating art . Something that previously didn t exist.
My eyes are not dry ,
I Can't say why .
I never met this
Inspiring Guy.
The music lives
It never ends ,
To share to cherish
This Feast of Friends.

You applied my suggestion 😍
Thank you a lot for mentioning it, I hope it helps a lot more people out :)

Thank you for your kind words, we hope you're keeping safe and well there.
So satisfying to watch.
Oh man!, amazing does not mechanic that is art. thank you for share.
Thank you very much!
Amazing video production.
Much appreciate your kind words John!
Good job Del, & watching you not rush it has just burnt my first pizza of the year. Git : ) xx
Enjoy buddy, I hear charcoal is quite good for you, and you can always dip it in your pint if it's a bit stiff!
Pint? Heathen . . . tawny Port drizzle & my best teeth; noisy, yet strangely nutritious once the anchovies stop curling up; as for the pizza? - I've no idea. P.S. Ace lighting & close-up work on this one too, Pen : )
@@loddude5706 Why thank you Sir, appreciate your kind words there... enjoy your port & lemon! Pennyx
Lovely job. By the way, I am running Triumph 4pot calipers on the front of my zx9r. Great improvement over the original 6pots.
Thanks for tutorials Del.
Take care of yourself and the family mate. 👍🍻
Good Move Ian, i head thats a good upgrade like the Suzuki Bandit 'Nissin" 4 pots.. they may have 2 less pots.. but they're bigger and less prone to clog up and jam with dust and grime.. Good move mate
Looks like new Del. Happy new year Hopefully it’ll be a lot better than the last one and we can all get out on our bikes a bit more than we did last summer
Thanks Alan, couldn't agree more, let's hope for a better year and an end to this dreadful situation, keep safe and well there, D&Px
Happy New Year Del! All the best for the new year to you and Penny!
Same to you mate, keep safe and well there!
Absolutely brilliant video again. Stand up and take a bow my friend 👌🏼 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it Dan, really appreciate your kind support.
@@Moonfleet41 I've done exactly the same on the CBR thankyou for the knowledge 👌🏼
Top Job Del best wishes for the New Year and I'm looking forward to your next videos.
Thank you very much, Happy New Year!
High quality job on the rear brake caliper /master cylinder Delboy .all the best Tony
Happy New Year Del and Penny. It looks better than brand new. Sorry to hear about Jason. Feast of Friends and Delboy's Garage are a great match.
You're so right Matt, we have been honoured to have been able to share within our videos the wonderful music of Feast of Friends, and never have we been so graciously honoured than when they took the time, trouble and effort to get together and record our very own personal theme tune, and not just one version of it, but 4, astonishing people indeed and genuine good souls all of them... JBird will be sorely missed.
Happy new year Del , nice paintwork...looks nice and factory new.
Thanks mate, and have a great 2021 👍
Sorry to hear about your friend's passing. But Happy New Year, Del and Penny. Great video, content and production both!
Thank you John, happy new year to you too, let's hope we can get past this crisis and onto a happier year for 21.. Take care and keep safe, D&Pxx

What a transformation, lovely job mate and condolences on your loss mate.
Appreciate your kind words buddy, life can take sudden turns and catch us by surprise and in the dreadful year we've had, I guess it teaches us all to value each other and value every day.
Spot on brake job ⚙️🔩🔧👍 sorry to hear about your friend RIP.
Have you ever tried DIY zinc plating? For those little retaining clips, pins and springs. It would be satisfying to replated in the yellow zinc coating. Something I've always wanted to try for bits that I can't blue with heat and oil.
This was a super satisfying video to watch, I love how methodic
Happy new year to you both!
Same to you Paul!
Happy new year Del Penny , great video 👍
Hi Tony, Happy new year to you and your family sir, and thank you for your awesome support as always, take care and have a great weekend.. keep in touch.. D&Pxx
Hey Del another great video as alway. The back end is looking great and your right, it would of just been wrong not to paint the slave cylinder too.
Thanks mate, I know the painting can be repetative, but hoping the results will justify the long slog!
Happy New Year Del to you and Penny.
Sorry for your loss!
Still watching when writing this but I know it'll be another great video and better quality than the Discovery Channel.
I see even today 1st Jan. your loyal thumbs down followers are still showing their appreciation. I get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you are still managing to piss those (saddo's) off ;)
Hi Hughie, thank you for your kind words brother, I guess we have to accept there will always be disaffected and unhappy people, it's just the way of the world... what a strange year it's been, and never more important than to live life every day and treasure every moment with the special people you have... take care and keep safe, and thank you always for your wonderful support, D&Px
Great job that del, also been watching a few from, Really Random Channel , he does similar sort of restorations, so relaxing to watch.I’d watch somebody clean up an old rusty nail! Happy new year to the both of you 👍🏻
Thank you buddy, that's very kind, we're glad to know you enjoy them... have a safe and healthy New Year, we both appreciate your support!
Great work Del and Penny. Loving this series.
That was a very relaxing video, done very well!! Unreal 👍
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic job mate. Happy new year
Thanks, you too John!
Happy New Year you two.
Great job. Love the meticulous. Production and presentation first class. Well done.
Now back to watch the hammers.
Thanks so much Mike, very generous words indeed, it's great to know you enjoy what we do... have a safe and healthy 2021, al the best from us both!
