[@MaryK4242]

i bought a yoga mat on amazon last year that i cut up for various motorcycle related things. It's good for making battery mats or filler to hold a battery tightly in place if it's a little smaller than the battery box. I've used it for a lot of things.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Definitely comes in handy for all kinds of stuff besides yoga🤣

[@sjv6598]

WD40 is my go-to for removing sticky stuff on delicate surfaces. On something a little more resilient I use pain thinners 🙂 That was a huge improvement on the seat too!

[@motorcyclerewind]

This seat came out so good. That sticky vinyl is so in inexpensive. Think I got it from Temu. Thanks for watching.

[@robertspear9134]

Mineral spirits work well too, less expensive

[@sjv6598]

@@robertspear9134 I’ve got 5 litres of both. I buy everything in bulk, it’s costs basically nothing to use a squirt or two to remove goo…

[@mikeplummer8904]

The seat looks 1000% better.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Shocking results. Thanks for watching.

[@mikeplummer8904]

I heard that WD-40 takes off the sticky residue.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I think it worked better than the alcohol. 🍺 Thanks for watching.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

That'll clean up NICE.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I think so too! Thanks for watching.

[@donreed1133]

Eric, Sounds like you have a good plan on what you’re doing to it from a paint and decal standpoint. I’m curious if ST70 badges will be available? Replacing the coil is the hardest thing to do on these motorcycles in my opinion. If a complete tare down I put the coil on as soon as the body is painted. I bought a 1/4 inch swivel joint for my 1/4 inch ratchet and a long 10mm box wrench 😂to replace coils with and it’s still not easy as you know.

[@motorcyclerewind]

On reassembly you need a long magnet to get all the hardware you drop. 🤣😂🤣

[@donreed1133]

Yes, a magnet is sure handy too! I like the flexible magnet from GoPro. MotionPro I meant! 🤪

[@cerealtiller]

Yay! 'It Starts'! it is a Honda....

[@motorcyclerewind]

Yes it does. Thanks for watching.

[@grahamwright9897]

Brilliant job buddy

[@motorcyclerewind]

Came out great. Thanks got watching.

[@nickq204]

I’ve used warm water and Meguiar’s car wash (wax-free) before on a seat from an old Trans Am with the duct tape vinyl repair. I used a medium bristle toothbrush for the stubborn residue with some elbow grease. Followed by 50% IPA to remove any tape residue. Paint it? Not if you can save it. It’ll only have an original paint job once.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for the tips. I agree on the paint. Only original once. Not sure how much is left. It’s pretty faded.

[@MaryK4242]

Just ordered my tickets to Barber Vintage Festival!! Got a camping spot too. Probably going to bring my E-Bike (Juiced Scorpion) this year. Hope the weather is cool and dry!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Awesome!!! It's the BEST!! Camping is so much fun! We are at vendor spot G-14. More on that later.

[@1950specialdeluxe]

Keep the original paint

[@motorcyclerewind]

I agree. Thanks for watching.

[@brwhyon]

Wait, wait wait wait, swearing while working on a bike, curious. I've never heard of such a thing, it must certainly be an unsavory subject to restrain from bending to your demands. Most peculiar ! I have one and am dreading starting to work on it, I don't have small hands and my vocabulary can get, well, quite colorful at times of increased stress. The struggle is real. I go for the spring rolls or pho, We have a cafe here in me city called 'Pho Kekeah".

[@motorcyclerewind]

I would recommend, if you have spark ignore it. If it ain’t failed yet!!! Or if you have to remove the engine change it then. Thanks for watching. BTW I love pho,🍜

[@ricardo6861]

Preclean or brake cleaner

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s a great tip. Thanks for watching.

[@michaeljones0007]

Use Goo Gone for that tape.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Gonna have to pick some up. Thanks for the tip.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

I had to smile at your attempts to elicit contributions to the comments section to boost the YT algorithm. I would never fall for that !

[@motorcyclerewind]

Darn you saw through my evil plan!!! 😂🤣😂Thanks for watching

[@Fezzler61]

First start is always a thrill! Would love to restore one of these but so would everyone else and so they are expensive even when junk.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Nothing like a first start. There are some affordable projects out there. Thanks for watching.

[@kentherron]

Lighter fluid or gas🤠🇺🇸 5:43

[@motorcyclerewind]

Believe me I thought about setting it on fire while scrubbing the residue off!!😂🤣😂🔥 JK don’t know why I didn’t think about gas.

[@JoeRocket-sf6qs]

Made by tiny Asian hands.goo gone I use for tape and sticky residue.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thought I was going to have to drop the engine to change the coil!😂😂😂

[@timhawkins2502]

Nice job on the seat and as always a great video

[@motorcyclerewind]

It was shocking how good the seat came out. Thanks for watching

[@Fastbackdave]

wanton soup and egg rolls

[@motorcyclerewind]

YES!!!!!👍

[@bruceaskin9645]

Two bolts pulls the engine out , much easier than swearing and cursing at the coil

[@motorcyclerewind]

You are right!!! I did get to exercise my can do attitude.🤣😂🤣

[@RobertAdams-wd6pt]

You could also try goo gone

[@motorcyclerewind]

Need to get some. Thanks
