I want to lower the seat on my new motorcycle by myself and was wondering if anyone on this tribe was in SF Bay area and would be willing to let me there staple gun. I would only need it for a couple of hours which is why I am reluctant to buy one.
thanks!
thanks!

Tue, February 17, 2004 - 12:37 PM1) take seat off bike.
2) undo the staples holding on the seat cover and use sharpie to mark need mods.
3) with carving knife, cut off foam.
4) when all adjustments are correct, reattach the seat cover with staple gun, replace seat on bike and away you go. -

FYI for Oakland and Berkeley residents--they also have tool lending libraries...
for use only to residents of each of the city's tool lending library. -

Fri, February 20, 2004 - 3:53 PMI forgot to mention your gonna want to get some kind of spray adhesive or contact cement that is safe for foam.
1)Apply let air dry to tacky
2)Put material over work the kinks/air bubbles out of the fabric, let set for a few mins.
3)Start stapling.
you might want to consider some nice c-clamps or an extra set of hands while your stretching the fabric.
goes without saying but be carefull one of my former employees (while working in a different shop) shot a staple through his thumb because his thumb was to close to the discharge nozzle/point and he hit a knot in the wood, the staple went sideways and penetrated his nail/cuticle through his thumb. -

Fri, February 20, 2004 - 5:03 PMsomehow seems silly to warn people cuz you'd think it'd be easy to figure out, but we all do it sometimes, eh?
Why just 2 weeks ago, my friend very carefully stapled herself in the palm of her hand (with one of those mongo T50 staples too).
That was a joy to remove! Good thing she's had her tetanus shot recently... -
