I'm definitely not an expert so please refer to your manuals for proper disassembly and assembly instructions. Please leave comments if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help answer questions if I can confidently provide solutions. Again, I'm not a professional. This is my 2nd Honda motorcycle restoration and I'm learning every single day. I'd love to hear your tips if you have better ways to do things. I hope you find the series useful and entertaining.

When the vinegar came out, I was dying so bad 🤣🤣🤣 freakin hilarious!! "I'd rather have rust on the pipes" 💀
That was a rough day. Definitely a highlight of the series. Congrats on finding that gem. Lol
@@KeepOnWrenchingROFL
Is that your reaction when people put vinegar on their fries at the fair? 😂🤣😂
This video was extremely satisfying. Best ASMR with commentary on the UA-cams.
I appreciate that feedback, good sir.
Love all of the videos, but this one takes the cake...thanks for taking one for the team with the vinegar and the bike turned out great!- working on one a cb and your videos are priceless and really well done- learn something on every one of them - thanks again
That’s so awesome to hear, Kim. Lol. Vinegar is memorable. I’m so glad the videos are helpful. Good luck with your build! Go get it.
This video turned into comedy gold as soon as the vinegar came out
It’s an Easter egg for sure. Lol
Bro.... this had me dead laughing when you used the vinegar..... 🤣🤣🤣.... I mean it's funny, and not funny too. Great job! Thanks for putting these to the test.
Fricking vinegar. Lol
13:07 im so sorry but i started laughing non stop here 😂😂😂😂
I watching it so serously until this part HAHAHAHAH
LMFAO at the vinegar attempt! My wife and I did SHOTS of vinegar for the supposed health benefits. It did knock out my heartburn but the taste was...ghastly!
Always enjoy your videos, thanks!
I just threw up in my mouth a little never again with the vinegar. Lol
Hope it was applecider vinegar, also just put a tablespoon in a glass of water with a tablespoon of honey, make sure the vinegar is natural, ie has the'mother at the bottom
Yes, it was apple cider vinegar. Thanks for the tip!
Easily the funniest video!
Lol. I’m glad you were amused.
jack black is teaching me how to remove rust
People keep saying that! Lol
OMG! I'm dead withbthe gagging vinegar. So funny 🤣🤣
It was a moment
The vinegar portion is UA-cam Gold lol Why not try your Evaporust? For the back section of the exhausts I've seen people paint that swelled out part of it with VHT black paint and it looks smart with the chrome heat shields fixed over it...I wonder if you can get silver VHT? Anyway Brian, thanks for the laughs, my belly hurts now :)
Lol. Took one for the team with the vinegar. Smaller stuff Evaporust for sure...like the shields. It would take a ton of product for the exhaust. It’d probably work but I need to polish it all anyway. Overall the parts are pretty clean. There is silver VHT. Even in high temp. I bet that would pop a bit. Cool idea.
Judging by your convulsions. Vinegar is out for me too. Enjoyed the experiment for different methods. Thanks
Yes. Steer clear of vinegar. Absolutely disgusting stuff.
As a boy growing up in New Zealand vinegar (malt vinegar to be exact) was sprinkled over hot chips (french fries).
These are all great methods if you like scrubbing a lot. If you prefer using less elbow grease try spraying some Tetrachloroethylene on OOO Steel Wool. Be sure to wear proper PPE and be outdoors. That stuff eats through gloves, I wore three pair when using it.
Thanks for the info
This needs to go on TikTok lmfao god help me the vinegar 😂😂😂
That’s a good idea! Thanks!!
Looks like the black area needs complete galvanic re-chroming. The way the surface is bulged up suggests that the corrosion got under the layer itself.
Have you tried diy galvanic chrome plating?
No I have not. Googling.
Pretty funny when u got to the Vinegar test, way to take one for the team, heheh, us a full face with chemical filter next time as it really cuts thru rust given time. Also, try electrolysis, the reaction rrmoves the rust and changes the metal, plus its mostly free and if done in an aerated area or outside its toxic free, takes about 24 hrs.
It just sticks up the whole house. Lol.
Basically anything with an abrasive effect will work. No need for fancy brands.
When its pitted like that elbow, the rust basically is going through the metal. Seen on rims often. One can make it less ugly, but not really fix it.
Certainly doesn't fix it but with some dedicated care they can look fine. for what these are. Thanks, Santor.
can you make a 2nd part with the vinegar :D
Lol
Ohh my god brian. Bro you are funny as fuck. This is the funniest video ever. You are ment for this kerp being real on here man and i hope you make millions doing this. Vinegar ohh man that shit was so funny.
Ha ha. Thanks, man. I wasn’t trying to be funny. Lol. The vids are fun to put together.
Oh I'm dying😂
It was quite an experience. Lol
Another suggestion use the vinegar outside or us a powerful fan
Ideally, yes. Totally agree.
lol...i am guessing you avoid the fair with all those french fry and vinegar stands.. i love apple cider vinegar and have a sippy bottle in the fridge.
I definitely do. Lol
Honestly, the most important ingredient here is not a product, but the elbow grease provided by Brian. That and he has the grit and stamina to follow it through. Its that ingredient most are missing, cannot be bought.
Thanks, Santor. I enjoy the scenic route. Lol
4 oooo is a good rust remover
Yes it is. Some WD too. Great combo.
To make the foil more effective and alot less uncomfortable to hear I always put a little bit of dish soap in the water plus I don't crumble up the foil I fold it into small squares its definitely my go to for chrome like yours Brian but theres definitely plenty of other ways to get to the end result I think on the really bad part of the pipe I would use a header wrap just on the bend keep up the great work
Brian, I have used vinegar for cleaning tanks...it works great.
I have tried molasses and water for rust, it works over time but smells worse than vinegar.
My go to for rust is the electric route. A battery charger, a plastic container, a steel rod, and wire to suspend the parts. Negative clamp on part, positive on steel rod or bar(anode), and add some Arm and Hammer soda wash( from the supermarket). Immediately, you can see the action taking place. No rubbing, no harmful chemicals. It will not remove good chrome, but flakey paint will come off due to rust underneath.
I use this method all the rime for bike parts. Great videos by the way.
Great idea with the soap. Will try that for sure. Thank you.
I can’t imagine it being worse than vinegar. Lol. Makes sense to use on a tank that can be capped. Open air? Hell no. Hard pass.
To make the foil even more effective, I leave it in the kitchen for my wife to use.
How many precent US vinegar?
Standard off the shelf white vinegar from the grocery store
@@KeepOnWrenching I found is a 5%. Russian standard white vinegar, that folks use for cooking is 9%. It's a little bit stronger. So since this the dude has funny reaction.😂
The pipe is chrome plated. .... Once the chrome has gone you are left with bare metal. ... Nothing in the world will bring back that shine.
Do the best we can with what we’ve got.
The header pipe is stainless not chrome plate
13:20 starts the fun part :D
Indeed.
The chrome in the elbow is shot to shit, you won't bring it back without re-chroming. Good effort though.
Doing the best I can!
0:30 right, the chrome fell off, it's gone. There is no more any chrome.
Still fun to get things clean.
so this is what steve-o has been up to since jackass
People keep saying that. Lol
14:13 I would rather have a rusted pipes lol :D
Right??? Disgusting stuff.
@@KeepOnWrenching absolutely I just used a water for my case xD
Come on ya big baby use the vinegar lol
It just makes me gag. Or at least it did before I got COVID. Now I’m unstoppable! Lol
Time to put some heat treat paint and wrap it
Nah. It’ll be fine. But yeah. Lol
Bench grinder withe brass wheel then Scotchbrite wheel.
Sock your nuts (and bolts) in coke overnight.
I really want to acquire a brass wheel. Thanks for the tips!
@@KeepOnWrenching I have just re-read my comments - I hope you didn't "sock your nuts" - sounds painful.
So that we wouldn't ask for Coke when we kids my father would order a glass at the begging of the meal and drop some coins in. At the end then of the meal they would come out shiny. Never drink it now.
Lotophagi don’t worry I won’t sock my nuts. Lol. Yeah...soda is bad stuff. I had a dentist do a similar experiment in elementary school.
@@lotophagi711People make such a big deal about the acid in Coke but it's no match for the acid that's already in your stomach.
Distilled white vinegar and aluminum foil. It works like magic. It works extremely fast and with little effort.
Thank me later.
Edit: Yeah it's a very strong smell. But I ain't never seen anyone GAG uncontrollably at the scent of it
Did you see the vinegar part of that video???? Wait yes you did. LMAO
My Hero!! Vinegar SUCKs ROFLMAO!!!!
It’s the worst. Never again
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 vinegar 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like that you found that Easter egg. :)
Keep advertising going
My teacher forced me to watch this 😢
You have a really awesome teacher.
@@KeepOnWrenching she’s not
this guy is so strange. he literally observes the damn thing is working but keeps saying it's not. drives me crazy.
Compared to other approaches it isn’t that impactful IMO.
Put on a mask for pete's sake!!!!
Great point!
Can't do the Vinegar 🤢 i can't🤢 i🤢🤮🤮🤮😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I seriously can’t lol
@@KeepOnWrenching I'm sorry but that was too funny😂🤣😂
This is so fake. You faked all that can't take the vinegar stuff to disallow it & get to your bar keepers friend. Come man, I can't take it, as my fake throw-up coughs can attest. Give me a break. You think we're that dumb? Come on
100% real experience. Swear to God.
