Ok, in this clip, we're going to talk about the protection you need to take on the vehicle itself. We have these fancy covers; you could use a good clean towel, to put over the tank. We're going to let dumb dumb's lift the bike here and what we're going to do, we also use painters tape, we're going to tape, underneath here, which we've already done. Greg's going to do the exhaust, the rocker cover assemblies, just in case. You don't want to scratch anything; this is to ensure that nothing scratches. Here's an example. There's a scratch there that was there already. We don't want to accidentally drop a tool, to where we're going to add to these scratches. That's the whole key, is to not change the shape of the vehicles, as they're in here. The reason we use the painters tape is because it doesn't really leave a residue, it's easy to peal off, makes it a little easier to wipe the bike down, when you're done doing the job. "Don't forget to do here too Greg."
