I’m a car, semi truck, biker, and bicycle head gear person🤪 I personally dump everything in the bucket, but during the removal I use different color tape parts that I’m unfamiliar, so I don’t mix them around with the wrong part. I like your videos you have a good motorcycle collection, and I love your Ford truck. Keep up the good work 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

Right on, the tape is a great tip. Thanks for watching.

[@hughbarnett938]

Can't watch your video until later, but it's crazy how much we look forward to your videos.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks

[@ACECafeBikes]

That looked like a fun afternoon - dirty, dusty, rusty mess - looking forward to seeing whats inside

[@motorcyclerewind]

It was fun! Should have the engine freed up and apart in the next video. Then we start looking for parts. Thanks for watching

[@djantix1200]

I've rebuilt this motor in the past. My favorite part was the timing chain LOL Ugh, what a pain in the arse!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Giving me something to look forward too! Thanks for watching

[@motohomeless9168]

Such a cool bike! I've always liked them. My first bike ever was a CB450

[@motorcyclerewind]

What a way to start. Thanks for watching.

[@nickq204]

I’m a nerd when it comes to organizing parts and hardware. I use ziploc bags and label them with the assembly & reference number on the appropriate parts fiche. I also keep track of them on a spreadsheet as a double check.

[@motorcyclerewind]

WOW!! That. is incredible organization. Thanks for watching

[@spacecat7247]

Good morning! I tend to keep my fasteners in their respective groups.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@chrismacmahan8159]

I'm the Ziploc bag and label guy😂

[@motorcyclerewind]

I say whatever works. Thanks for watching.

[@robertadams4415]

Like you I put it back together

[@motorcyclerewind]

Great minds think alike🤣. Thanks for watching.

[@Wolf_R1-Z]

It's cool.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching.

[@ricardo6861]

Yep same as you.put it back together 😂❤👌🤞🤞👍👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@ungarsdanslegarage8659]

Use ziploc bags plus taking pictures. It saved my life 😅

[@motorcyclerewind]

I also like to not move them from where I put them when taking apart. Before I start the rebuild I lay everything out on a table to make sure I have it all then begin the assembly. Thanks for watching.

[@ThatOldHonda]

Depends on the bike, if I know the bike it all goes in one tub, V65 I just did all went in one tub, I guess it will catch me out eventually and I should label it all but I tend to think about that when I am struggling to put them back together - oops too late :) I like this one buddy, it's going to be a nice bike

[@kenbowlus2995]

I guy I worked with back in the 1990's who tore down a 1980's japanese bike (I don't remember which brand or model) and had it in boxes for months. When he finally put it all back together, he had a small box of leftover parts, pieces, nuts, bolts, etc. He rode it to work after he finished, and the bike ran and rode fine (according to him), so he asked me why manufacturers used all these extra unnecessary parts? All I could do was express my concern and fear for both him, and those driving near him, for what could end very badly. I'm sure he ended up selling that future nightmare to some other unfortunate and unsuspecting rider.

[@motorcyclerewind]

🤣🤣🤣 I have put together several bin bikes. All the pieces and parts in a bin. I like to use CMSNL as my parts manual to figure out where everything goes. The GPZ came with a gallon bucket of hardware 99% was not for the GPZ.

[@ThatOldHonda]

@@motorcyclerewind haha yep same here, CMSNL shows you where the nuts and bolts go, doing my V65 a couple of weeks ago I ended up with one piece, couldn't figure out where it went, CMSNL staring at diagram after diagram and found it eventually - great site, saved me a few times

[@johnsalvi9073]

If I had to take off in an extreme measure, a solution to repair or replace a major engine component for an antique engine, I would video the entire engine prior to disassembly and take pictures also. After removing the fasteners, I would bag and tag them.

[@motorcyclerewind]

A great byproduct of recording everything you do in the shop. I you can always see what you did. Thanks for watching

[@johnl5974]

Packaging for a dozen eggs with a small note for small parts & fasteners.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thats a great idea. Thanks for watching

[@johnl5974]

@@motorcyclerewind I forgot - and rocks so the wind doesn't blow the screws and carb parts away.

[@JohnBr1234]

I'm type that thinks about keeping things toghter after throwing it in the bucket. Doh!

[@motorcyclerewind]

LOL

[@chrismacmahan8159]

You could remove the right crankcase cover and let the oil drain- Should get most of it that way. I have a CB350 that came with a round drain plug that I swear the previous owner must have Red Loctite'd in... HAHAHA

[@motorcyclerewind]

Next time I won’t worry about the mess. 🤣 Made one anyway. Thanks for watching.

[@mabarbe9545]

Waiting the wonder

[@motorcyclerewind]

Awesome. Thanks for waiting patiently to watch. Hope it was worth the wait.

[@stevefletcher2334]

zip lock baggie guy...will never remember where everything goes if I don't!

[@motorcyclerewind]

I need all the help I can get. Thanks for sharing.

[@daveco1270]

I'm a put it back together or put it in a ziplock bag with a label guy. Or... I'll take a piece of cardboard and draw the part (IE the outline of a primary cover) then poke a hole where each screw goes into the cover and stick the screw into the cardboard...so I know which bolt or screw goes to what hole.

[@motorcyclerewind]

That cardboard is a good idea. Thanks for watching.

[@thomashodges6104]

Tag and bag.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Awesome. Thanks for watching
