Since making the video, I've learned that some decals are more difficult to remove than others. You may have some stubborn ones! "Rapid Remover Adhesive Remover" is a good, safe chemical and I use it on stubborn decals. It still requires lots of effort and it can be messy, but it works.

im having same issue with my sweetwater. i used a rubber wheel, nope, used razor blade nope, used heat gun, better, went to auto paint store to ask them, he gave me acetone, thinking the fence was powder coated, nope it was paint on aluminum panels. so i have to prime panels where registration is placed as i took it to bare metal. went to lowes and ask. they recommened pro goof off for the sticky residue, it took the sticky residue off but also the paint and it is pricey. for a small can. removal was same as acetone. i got all the vinyl off with heat gun and rubber wheel, but all i have left is the sticky residue. i don't want to strip and repaint the whole 20 ft boat. now i have a vinyl off liquid coming from amazon, and plastic razor blades. i have a steamer going to see what that does to the goo residue. any and all help is welcome.

​@lynnallen5528 use gasoline on a microfiber cloth to soften the glue. Scrape it with a plastic razor blade to get the bulk of it off. Any remaining residue will come off with the gas soaked rag.

I can’t recommend a penny. They have been copper plated zinc for decades. As we all know, it’s dangerous welding to zinc, or welding with zinc right at the weld. You can easily burn through that very thin copper plate to the zinc. Just go buy a few small pieces of 1/8” thick copper. I use it extensively during welding.

For anyone looking to do this and wanting to use things you can quickly pickup at a nearby hardware store: -Heat gun - plastic razor blade with holder (you need a sharp, stiff tool that won't scratch) -GOOF OFF... NOT goo gone. You can find it in the paint section as a paint and adhesive remover. Remove the decal or graphic with heat and the razor. If they are cracked this will take longer, but if they aren't they will come off in large pieces if you don't use too much heat. I found that the hotter they got the more weak they were and they would just rip. If i got the decal started with the razor and heat, and was able to start peeling it, it would take the adhesive with it, but everywhere that required the heat and razor left the adhesive behind. Fold a rag into 4s. Soak with goof off and hold it onto the glue for a few seconds. Scrape with razor... it came off like butter. It leaves some glue balls but they seriously just wash off when you wash it with a mild abrasive. Wash, dry, and buff. I bought a gallon of goof off and used about half of it on 4ish decals. Some were small and some were large. The goof off does evaporate and you still need gloves and good ventilation... also its flammable so keep away from heat gun. The more the rag is soaked the easier the glue comes off. I watched so many videos telling people to by graphx remover, some special 30$ tiny spray bottle of remover, or rubber wheels...i spent like 26$ on the gallon but you can use goof off for so much stuff. Mineral spirits and acetone didn't hold a flame to it... because my step dad thought he knew better and wanted me to try it. I already owned a heat gun but the are cheap. The pack of plastic razor blades was about 6$ and i bought my stuff at ace... which is more expensive than just about every other hardware store. For about 50$ and 20 minutes in a hardware store you will have all you need. Obviously, be careful with the heat gun and don't burn your gel coat or paint. It took me about 3 hours and 15 minutes to remove all of the 4ish ones i had to do.

Everybody's so set on making it stock but if you don't have a good base to go from yeah it gets crazy expensive. I kept mine stock cuz it was in great condition when I bought it and I only had to fill in a few parts. But I love it with people take one that's totally roached messed up and just make it their own. I think you did a great job. I would love to get one. That's pretty roached and just kind of make it into a custom design with the 125 or 140 nice work. Thanks for the video

Thanks! I appreciate that. I am currently working on a 1964. It's one of the first 4,000 Trail 90s ever made. I'm going to keep it bone stock and I might not even paint it. It's the twin to the one I did in this video. Same condition. Abandoned in a field. Last registered over 60 years ago! Feel free to watch those videos!

Beautiful bike, thank you for the great video! I am completing the exact same project: year, condition, engine kit, finally convinced myself to abandon the very fine factory levers, throttle and switches… My question is, what brake cables did you use to connect the new levers to factory brakes? Also, any tips on the battery and bulbs? Thank you again, great bike, and great job.
@johnheywood9826
@johnheywood9826 Жыл бұрын
I think I just used oem brake cables if I remember correctly. They mated up to my after-market levers and of course, the oem brake system. I converted mine to 12 volt since the Lifan is a 12volt engine. I had to stuff a larger 12volt battery in, one that fit, but with NO extra room. I searched and searched for a 12volt brake and headlight. You can find them, but I remember the headlight was difficult. Then I had to find places for all the other electronics. I used the air filter box for most of it. I had to run all my own wiring, so it was a lot of time cutting and soldering wires, etc. My speedometer gauge area is filled with all the extra wires. Not ideal, but it's how I did it since my speedometer was trash. Have fun and good luck!

The blower will come on if the AC or the heater turns on. This switch just manually turns on the blower only. It does not interfere or override the AC or heater.
