Acid spills on GS500

[Electrojake]

Stainless Steel Staples?
Probably a tad more difficult to locate than brass tacks. <heh-heh> But I do like your pull em' and then replace them one at a time concept. That's what I'm going to attempt to do.

As for my seat staple crisis. . .
It's a matter of principal.
I have revived some old nasty machinery over the years, but that's not the point here. This bike is not a 70's vintage GS850 that I found in some old man's shed. On the contrary, it was new in the showroom a year ago and has only seen 1200 miles of road!

Rusted and patched is simply unacceptable.
The poor thing should have a proper childhood (so-to-speak). It was made "un-new" too soon in it's life. It is therefore my duty to make it "re-newed".
O.K. then, I feel better now. . .
Time for my meds.

Aaaah one more gstwinner goes insane ... man its been 2 this year already and its only the 6th of jan.

In my defense I found a honda seat that was a straight on fit on the XS I am fixing up and makes it look rad.
Anyway I went nuts 1985 so its not counted.

SS staples ... you could use brass, just something that wont get eaten by residual acid ... see foam and plastic are resistant ... just that steel isn't. SS or brass should work.

Cool.
