Patton gave me the idea to require a washer. So here it is !
It´s a ultra sonic washer filled with water and some degreasing.




Rubber comes out nice after a few minutes.



Aluminum needs some time in the washer for the greas to come off.






Finally installed the machines in the work shop

My man arnoold- with all your fab skills, I have an idea for your bike stand, and, I got it from here originally- the plans that is- so you can easily roll that bike off and on that stand, without a ramp, by yourself. It would take you less than 4 hours to weld one up- it didn't even take me that long IIRC.

Now I so far behind on the build so I need to focus on mechanical stuff.

Spygon Thanx, tank and side covers will get painted in original inspierd colors.
