I think we're gonna make the seat out of wood. I've seen some really nice tail and seat sections made out of finishing ply and expandable foam overlaid w fiberglass. Lucky for me I have all the wood working tools i need at my disposal.

hahaha...
The driving was unreal. We were in a Magna rally version vehicle, was a small track but they really let you give it to it in the car.
We got some HD videos of the experience, so I'll put em up soon!
Would def do it again!!
Nah not yet, I've actually pulled my carbs apart pete, as I was having hanging idle issues, so they are soaking now in parts wash, and waiting for my rebuild kit to arrive (should be here tuesday or weds), then Ill put it all back and the seat will be ready by then!

Is it supposed to be good for old gunked up carbs tho? Most stuff I found was just to weak and pathetic to do a good job and you need the real caustic bad-for-you stuff to do it right...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

I'm sure i'll find a purpose for it somewhere else, always more things that need a cleanin!
Its spose to be really good for carbs and gummed up gunk. I think alot of places use it in the ultrasonic cleaners. Speaking of, I was looking at buying one (a small one) and do one carb body at a time. It only takes a good 5-10 mins in the ultrasonic. Watched some youtube vids on it. Looks the part.
Hey Hoosier,
I did lots of reading with the whole lemon juice thing. I noticed that the carb bodies go chalky afterwards and lots of ppl complained about it.
Not sure if the distilled water helps. Did you find this happend with yours?
Cheers

The ultrasonic would be good actually, but doing carb parts you'd need a quality one I think rather than the plastic ones I've seen that are cheap...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie
