If you aren't familiar with fortnine videos, you should be...

Hey that's a good watch thanks. Wish i could work that fast though.

Big fan of Fortnine but I'm not sure what this video was about! Elaborate product placement?! It seemed to say "restoration is just glorified cleaning" but completely skates over things like replacing (or at least gapping) plugs, electrical problems, broken switches and a whole host of things that usually have happened to a "barn find." It all felt a bit contrived :(

Oh yeah, recovering seats with untailored vinyl, dead easy job

I watched that video last night and felt the same. I was thinking fork seals, shock reservoir, swing arm bearings, steering bearings, brakes, wheel bearings... All these are almost certainly shot on a bike that old, but he didn't touch on any of that.

Mmmm.... first things to fix on bike: brakes and kill switch. "Does the engine even run?!" Don't care, I'm making sure that kill switch works

Great video. The 3 inch buffing wheel on a drill does work very well. I never finish any plastics without using that technique. Buffing wheel on a bench grinder on the other hand will easily melt your plastics.
