Mint Oil "Rubber Resto" from Noblehops

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThis was from Friend Nils "noblehops" in his blog restoring a Z1. He had a concoction of wintergreen oil & water heated to soften old rubber 1/2 plastic parts. Maybe a lot of Guys did not see this. Here is his link to a CBX forum about the process:
www.cbxclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=8753 .

Very Interesting. This may help also:

I have done something similar mixing xylene and wintergreen oil. It works really well.
