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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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".
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,🍜

6 hp, 45 mph of sheer Terror.

The seat looks 1000% better.
Shocking results. Thanks for watching.
Use Goo Gone for that tape.
Gonna have to pick some up. Thanks for the tip.

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

This seat came out so good. That sticky vinyl is so in inexpensive. Think I got it from Temu. Thanks for watching.
Mineral spirits work well too, less expensive
@@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…
Goo Gone? Ah DubbyaDee!! Good job! ..... Now I want Chinees Food. OMG!! the Wonkamobile!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You are a Wizard!! (Harry)
🤣😂🤣thanks so much for watching.
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.
Nothing like a first start. There are some affordable projects out there. Thanks for watching.
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 !
Darn you saw through my evil plan!!! 😂🤣😂Thanks for watching
That'll clean up NICE.
I think so too! Thanks for watching.
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!
Awesome!!! It's the BEST!! Camping is so much fun! We are at vendor spot G-14. More on that later.
I heard that WD-40 takes off the sticky residue.
I think it worked better than the alcohol. 🍺 Thanks for watching.

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

On reassembly you need a long magnet to get all the hardware you drop. 🤣😂🤣
Yes, a magnet is sure handy too! I like the flexible magnet from GoPro. MotionPro I meant! 🤪
Nice job on the seat and as always a great video
It was shocking how good the seat came out. Thanks for watching
Lighter fluid or gas🤠🇺🇸 5:43
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.
Keep the original paint
I agree. Thanks for watching.
Preclean or brake cleaner
That’s a great tip. Thanks for watching.
Two bolts pulls the engine out , much easier than swearing and cursing at the coil
You are right!!! I did get to exercise my can do attitude.🤣😂🤣

wanton soup and egg rolls
YES!!!!!👍
You could also try goo gone
Need to get some. Thanks
Made by tiny Asian hands.goo gone I use for tape and sticky residue.
Thought I was going to have to drop the engine to change the coil!😂😂😂
