nice job, like the CCR playin in the background too :) i'm gettin ready to do the same thing to my honda recon seat, this helped a lot, thanks for sharin.
Okay...I want to upholster a huge three piece corner sofa in red vinyl....couldn't figure out how to get around the corners without sewing..this video actually helps, so thanks.
@thepopularjock Hey thanks for watching... You'll do fine... just take your time with it, make sure you dont cut off to much, and keep the material tight.
This is pretty cool. I own a 1959 Cadillac. The interior has already been redone in vinyl, but my ac broke, and I live in AZ... so I decided to make some covers out of cloth. This really helped out. Thanks!
@BigManlyMan4 ...Hey thats a good idea....not really a big deal for this bike since I probably wont ride it to hard, but I'll try that out! Thanks for the tip!
@n2scouting2...Yeah...at most fabric shops they have blocks of foam that you can cut and shape to fit. Thats what I'm going to have to do with those old Yamaha's I just picked up. I'll have some videos of them and repairing the seat aswell.
Glad it worked out good for you....yeah I had the MX all ready for a test ride, then went out the next morning and all the oil leaked out of it, always something!
LOL where did the oil leak from? incase you're not sure about this i'll warn you, the drain plug under the crankcase is NOT the large 16mm nut near the kickstarter, do not loosen that nut or else you will release the kickstart return spring inside the engine which means you'd have to split the cases to connect it ! not fun.. The drain plug is the smaller bolt(sometimes allen head) located near the back away from the kickstart side.
Hey thanks bud....yeah I was jammin out in the garage tinkering around like normal, lol....you'll have to post some videos of the 77 sometime, there's only a few on here.
Nice job, and nice bike.. Can-am's are worth the time and effort in restoring. I'm working on restoring a 77 Can-Am Qualifier 175 that I'll be using on the trails... Bike is great shape already so I have a nice piece to start with.. My seat needs to be done also so i'll be doing this as well.. I like the tunes playing in the background... Boston rock n roll band then Ozzy shot in the dark lol
heard the Stones in there too LOL awesome
