Nice work Kelly. How big is that stapler? I have a dirt bike with a plastic seat that I need to recover……..

We got it from Harbor Freight a while back. It shoots T-50 style staples. We use 1/4" long staples for recovering plastic seat bases.

Still dealing with this evo sporty. Reverse thread clutch backet nut came off and left all it's threads on the transmission mainshaft... Amazingly didn't hurt the thread on the shaft any. Waiting on that.
Did throw the cam cover on.
New oil and filter.
Did the static timing for the ignition. 
Getting ready to pull the rear wheel for the swap there.

Discovered the three year old Yuasa battery in my XS650 has apparently moved on.
It will no longer take a charge.
*Sigh*  :P

I have been able to recover lead acid batteries by discharging with a load, like a headlight, and then charging it up to 15V, several times. Also, you might try a "smart" charger with a de-sulfation mode before giving up on it.

Yes I am going to mess with it a bit. Nothing to lose. It was fine less than a month ago.
