1974 Honda cb550 four episode 3 seat, hardware

In this episode I show the process of cleaning all the hardware and plastics. I also freshen up the seat and repaint the seat pan, battery box, and a few other bits.

Love your videos! Evaporust is even more of a miracle when you put it in your US cleaner. Day's turn to minutes. ;)

I've never seen the 'x' on a screw, before. Very familiar with the JIS screws and the dot on them. Nice video.

Hi, loved watching this restoration. Will any mineral oil work in reconditioning the seat?

[@lylesgarage]

Thanks for watching! I’d imagine any mineral oil would work. Good luck👍🏻

Stumbled on this. I have a '78 and '71 and am currently doing a '75. You can reuse Evaporust, no? I have never seen the X and O on bolts before!

[@lylesgarage]

Thanks for watching. Yes, you can reuse Evaporust a few times👍🏻

Bro, can you answer a question for me? What is that patch/pouch in the middle of the underside of the seat? Until you removed it, I had no idea that patch/pouch was even there!

[@lylesgarage]

Hello, thanks for watching! That is the registration holder. There’s a plastic “lid” that holds paperwork, and the vinyl material is just the backing, kind of making it plush. 👍🏻

When you can't loosen a Phillips screw with a screwdriver, then you just take a small center. Punch set it in those dimples and anglet backwards. Tap on it till it comes loose.

[@lylesgarage]

Ah ha! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I figured the dimples meant something

What's up with the boomer build?
