chicken wing chicken wing hot dog and bologna chicken macaroni hello bike
family i have missed you are you guys ready to do some spicy things today the spicy boy
that's right i want to do some things to spicy boy today to make him look a little bit better
just the minor things just got some cosmetic things i want to do
first thing is this thing um this this thing i want to take this piece off because i want to
spray paint it to match the wheels because i think that would be uh just a better aesthetic from like
the front if this was also like a reddish color don't you think like i've seen pictures of of uh
other mt07s with that and i like it so i want to do that to mine second thing that sticks out
like a sore thumb is the lever we have the one aftermarket one and one um original stock oem one
so those are both gonna go and we're gonna put on a nicer pair that's sitting over there i'll show
you later and then the third and exciting thing i'm going to customize my throne with the help of
louis moto so i asked you guys for suggestions earlier about what i should do uh to the seat
because um there's like a ding a ding on one side of it and i want to cover that up i also kind of
wanted to look a little bit better some of you guys suggested different options but in the end
in the end i knew that all i wanted to do was just get a seat covered that looks nice i looked
around to see what was available and honestly like nothing beats luimoto they got the best looking
stuff so i reached out to them they wanted to partner with me and here we are the speakers i've
been okay hold on they come packaged super nicely put that aside and i got one for the pillion seat
and one for my butt oh my god you guys look at the stitching it matches spicy boy like like to a tee
to a tee that's so perfectly matched i love it it looks so nice with this carbon fiber design
the stitching is freaking immaculate i can't wait to get some slow-mo shots of spicy boy with
the new seat on i'll do a before and after oh it's gonna look so good so good by the way you can also
get like custom things embroidered on your seat if you want uh they gave me that option but i didn't
uh want it but i was thinking about getting spicy boy written on it i don't know if that would have
been a bit much actually we're going to do this installation inside because it's easier to work
if you have a table in front of you so yeah they have an instructional video that you can watch
online if you want to know how to install it um i have the option of either taking the original
oem cover off uh by taking out all the staples that are underneath and then just
installing the new one or just leaving this one on as long as you don't have like any
visible seams so i think i'm gonna do that because the passenger seat
uh if you take this off this i'll take off this one doesn't have any seams
and then my seat only has this seam back here and it actually matches up really well with it so i
don't think it's gonna show so i think i'm gonna leave the original seat cover on my throne as well
and just put this one over it and let's see how it goes now the fun part is staple gunning it
down i'm sorry ahead of time that just you might get scared because the staple gun is kind of loud
he's kind of loud that just says hi maybe i should put him on the camera thing actually i don't know
that this staple gun is gonna work because it's not pneumatic so it's not that high powered it's
like for light crafty type just not like plastic but i'll give it a try we'll see how it goes
yeah i don't think that this uh bad boy is gonna is gonna be able to do that for me so um
okay i guess uh brb i gotta go get a different staple gun we're gonna go and
look for a pneumatic staple gun because that one that one's not cutting it i tried again i
tried pushing really hard down it would only get the staples in like a fourth of the way
that's not gonna cut it so we're trying again we're back i've acquired the necessary tools
but i've never actually used a pneumatic stapler so i'm gonna figure that out
either way hopefully this thing's better than the electric one because that one was crap
so
i gotta be doing something wrong because there's no staples coming out
so let me figure out what i did wrong i literally don't know what i did wrong airbrush is good
okay so good news the staple gun works got it working however the staples that i bought for
it are way too long they go all the way through the plastic which is good but they also poke
into the foam like way too much if i push my finger on the other side of the foam you can
like feel it through so that's a no yeah here's the problem here's the staples that are in the
seat i took one out to see how long they should be and here's the ones that i bought whoops
back to the drawing board okay through the magic of editing it is now the next day
can i have the correct size staples this time so we're gonna give this another go
oh my god that looks so good you guys check this out oh i basically just followed the
direction of the manufacturer staples on the back to get it to line up and stapled in between them
oh i can't i can't wait to put my butt on this all right time for the passenger seat
all right there's the feeling seat it looks so good as well
oh my gosh thank you thank you louie moto for this this is amazing i can't wait to
see what it looks like on the bike and on top of that i learned to use a new tool today so
that's always good all right put this little strap on here as well let's go put them on the bike
i will give you guys a better view in a second just let me get this on i'm
like so excited i'm panicking i can't even like screw these bolts back in
oh it looks so good so good and it feels really nice too like to the touch there's different
materials i'm really happy with how that turned out like look at this stitching color it's spot
on to what the wheel looks like that's awesome i'm so happy thank you again luimoto for sending
the seat covers out to me i really appreciate it spicy boy looks excellent i couldn't be happier
if you guys want to check out luimoto's seat covers i'll have a link to the one
that they made for me in the description they make bike seat covers for almost any bike so hit em up
okay we also have to fix spicy boys face here and give him a
little bit more like a vampire fang so let's take this off and paint it red
i'm going to finish with some glass clear
all right there it is spicy boys new fangs how do we like his new vampire teeth i think they're good
i don't know i just like that it gives a little bit more color from the front
there it's not just like one long thing of black with nothing to break it up this
looks way better i think okay we have levers to do next i got these two from
good old ebay they say mt07 on them which i think is cool and i think they'll look nice
okay for a reference i put the ten right on top of the seltzer pack
it's on top of the saucer pack don't forget i will be meeting you later
i was looking at the clutch cable the other day and i saw him like oh yeah it's about
it's about time to replace that and i'm looking at it now it's definitely time to replace it i don't
even know if i can put the other shorty lever on there right now to be honest yeah i might not put
the other uh lever on there for now like i knew the clutch cable needed to be replaced i could see
it but i didn't realize like this much of it was frayed so but i want to leave you guys off with
like a quick thought uh working on your bike is therapeutic despite it also being frustrating like
you saw not everything goes right all the time but it's like a reprieve from the other things
that i have to do in my life that just annoy me like school not that they annoy me but it's
like a nice break from what i'm usually doing which is sitting in front of the computer like
doing bioinformatics and alex it's on leukemia samples so working on spicy boy uh helps me
take a break it helps me sort of to find a balance even though i feel like i almost never have time
to work on spicy boy because of other things that i need to do and stuff that i have going on so
i'm glad that i was able to work on him today the seat looks good the front piece looks good
the one lever that i have on looks good and the other one will look good in a little bit i hope
you guys still have some warm riding weather i don't know how long it's gonna take for the clutch
cable to come in uh if i can find it on amazon probably a couple days but if i can't then maybe
a little longer it's getting a little bit colder here in pennsylvania um some days are definitely
too cold to ride and then like other days like last week we had like high 70s all week i'm like
okay i mean i'm not complaining but it's a little weird usually it's much colder this time of year
so i hope wherever you guys are you're at least getting a little bit better riding other than
uh we are here because here it seems to be like all over the place and you never know what you're
gonna get the next day so thank you guys for watching don't forget to like comment subscribe
it really helps me in the youtube algorithm out and i will see you all in the next one
