advice from a old man who has restored several bikes/cars. put a 50-50 mixture of acetone and trans fluid on each screw and nut/bolt do it every day for several days before using the correct JIS screw driver and maybe a hand impact with JIS bits, just say-in!!
I just love the dropping of tools; soldering of aluminium and bloopers. You're unpretentious ; honest and sincere. Love it !. I learned just like you; Built my first motorcycle age 13-14. Registered and on the road with licence age 15 in South Island of New Zealand. Burt Munro and John Britten territory. Still at it. Love your stuff; Love you direction and passion. Keep learning and keep it up !
They only made the chrome heat guard for two years, 73 and 74 and silver light bucket. After that, 75 and 76 had a black heat guard on exhaust and black light bucket. In 76 they went with a blue stripe on the tank and a plain white plastic front fender without mud flap.
Next time you clean a 2-stroke exhaust all you need is charcoal briquettes pile around the whole exhaust. Light them up and let them do the work. Easy works every time
I had a look online at it looks like some of those bikes did have a black heat shield from the factory. The old trick for cleaning out two stroke pipes was to block one end and fill with a caustic soda solution. How long you leave it in for depends on how bad the pipe is but it cleans it right out. Flush with clean water after.
Gold guy my friend... use NaOH and in one ore two hours the exhaust interior will be clean as new, a liter and half kg of NaOH, at the end clean it with water, and finally fuel.
When you get the soot and oil burning in the pipe you can use an air compressor to blow through it, the carbon in the pipe is the fuel and it needs oxygen to burn.
I watched a guy heat up his exhaust pipe with a gas cutting torch and then he blew the oxygen through it.... for about half a second. Hell of a bang. The pipe went one way and he went the other. It would have been funny if it hadn't been so stupid. But that exhaust pipe puzzles me. It's a Honda part but I never saw a 250 with a fixed internal baffle before. They all had chromed heat sheilds as well. Must have been the last model before they went out of production, I guess. The 125's all had an internal fixed baffle. Pain in the butt to unclog. I filled mine up with Vinegar spirit, not the cooking type. The gunk that came out was amazing. It's good for declogging car radiators as well. It just dissolves all the calcium deposits in minutes.
darn your going to hate all the advice from a old guy, painting in the cold is usually taboo, i use a heat gun lightly to warm the surface and try to find a space heated area in the shop really helps the results.
Dude, next time, just build a wood fire (like in a fire pit) and put the pipe right in there. All that stuff will burn out. Shouldn't hurt the pipe at all.
When I use angle grinders I always use them so if they grab they pull away from me, especially with wirebrushes and things that likes to get stuck in clothes and flesh. Put the handle on the other side or just remove it if you don't use it.
You asked for ways to make your videos better as you're aiming to go full time - one suggestion to improve them is to not play music over your talking. Better still no music at all after the into!

That came out nice!

Good job, btw I’m not criticizing you just trying to help. I enjoy your videos.
The vht wrinkle paint would look awesome on the heat shield.

It’s called a defuser. It does muffle some sound but mostly it directs the smoke and oil away from the wheels and fender.
Great finished product!
Keep the videos coming mason I really enjoy you channel. Long time subscriber here.

Nice work bro! Keep at it, Mason 💪🤘

What an angry exhaust

Use pj1 if u want a gloss finish that flame proof
The music is fine. I'd keep it.

@@randypullman1155 thanks man!!!
You’re having a hard time removing that paint because it is the factory paint bro.
Did this guy really just try to solder aluminum?
If i remember right white flames are above 2000 degrees don’t quote me on that
Lessss g0000
