I ran across that the other day.

There are a bunch of similar ones from the same creator (who, or whatever, that is).

Yeah, it's definitely AI.  I saw basically the same video a few days ago about restoring classic cars.  It's interesting for sure.  I wish they had used different visuals though.

Yeah that's quite a custom built Grom. I imagine one thing left from the original is the Vin. #'s. So what's the biggest two stroke engine put in one of those I wonder?...Banshee powered, I have seen that.

cranks seals are pretty specific on these. otc isn't going to work well IN THIS CASE. but the rest of the seals, I agree. ive had to get some weird ones before,  in particular a nagging leaking one for a t500 oil pump.  or the sky ones I had to get for the fork seals on the tzr

I usually hit the local Bearing and Seal Supply store and buy OTC. They typically have what's needed on the shelf, and most seals can be had under $10 for top name brands such as TIMKEN, Fel-Pro, SKF etc. If in doubt, bring the old seal(s) with and have them match them up.

there's lots of great, and not so great grom builds. I mean, I get it. ive had one since day 1, the aftermarket is absolutely insane. you  can build one from scratch, with all aluminum perimeter frames, etc. its nuts

Super nice build.

I don't see anything that is related to a Grom.
