well youtube did not want to wait until sunday morning to publish this so l guess you get to see it 12 hours early, enjoy guys, see ya on the next one,
I remember when I first started learning about these motorcycles, started working on them the first thing I did was blow out a set of bulbs after getting the engine to run! Oh well, you live and learn. Mustie what a brilliant fix you made to this muffler and I do believe your fix has it breathing better. I don’t have all the tools you have and would have been forced to buy a new one and they’re not cheap.
I remember my dad always telling me to heat manifold nuts/studs and then while they are really hot to hit them with water. What supposedly happens is the heat and water turns the rust to a liquid. What are your thoughts?
I don't know what you got running in the background sound like a fan or some s*** why don't you turn that off for somebody I can hear you
Mustie1, you amaze me! Your relentless approach to trouble shooting, is inspiring! I enjoy your videos!
That thing sounds like a 175 instead of a 90. Awesome job Mustie.
Let's see what we have in the stash to use as a muffler. Lead pipe. Old tailpipe. Baseball bat. Samurai sword. Angle iron wedges. Meh. We'll figure it out.
So much fun to watch. Thank you. Back in 1965 when I was 11-years old growing up in Anchorage, Alaska several of my 13 year-old classmates rode Honda 50's and Honda 90's ten to fifteen miles to school. In those days Alaska was still a bit wild and having a license was not always a requirement. For example, after a good snow we used to ride our snowmobiles on downtown Anchorage city streets. Today than only be ridden in designated areas far outside the city. Getting my first ride on a Honda was a thrill never to be forgotten. A few years later when I was 14 we moved to Southern California and I convinced my Dad to buy one. It was a 1966 Honda Trail 90, a couple years earlier than your yellow parts bike. Unlike the later red one in your video that used a hi/low switch to change gearing, mine required two different rear wheel sprockets. The only way to go hi or low was to manually take the back tire and chain off and then change the sprocket which was very time consuming. Since I was a kid, I rode that pour little Trail 90 like a moto-cross bike. It responded as expected and I was fixing it as much as riding it. I rode it to high school each day and then work afterwords. Watching your videos brought it all back. Love your attention to detail. At nearly 70 years of age I'm still learning. I've got an old 1950's Cushman scooter that is going to be my next project. After watching how you do it I will have your experience looking over my shoulder. Thanks again.
The last thing we need is a loud noiseyn exhaut systeh=m,
Sometimes a Pozi drive works better than a Phillips
I used to work for a guy that would cut the back section of exhaust off of his truck and weld a drive shaft on. They did sound good.
I was thinking that isnt. To obnoxious
Great video.
Now that 1:02:35 well spent ….really enjoyed watching 👌
With a tool box of every tool. A patience’s of a thousand people. Gosh knows I would be saying every bad word by now. You do masterful work! Keep up the good work! I know this is an older video. I just decided to watch it again and say hi. Thank you for what you do.
Having owned several Honda bikes, a CB350, a CB450, a CB750 and a GL1200A Aspencade, I believe this bike is one of the ugliest ones they ever made.
Braze all the holes up with brass rods
What kind of cleaning solution do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner
Great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed it. But you joked about sun glasses, I am sure its fine on video, I just can't watch welding in case of arc eyes. It must be habit? Hay ho…😎
Can you take the pipe you’re going to put on there and kind of split it make a little wider and
Spread it open some to where it will Go over your old pipe and then will be
Yeah that should say they clean up real good.
Those fire extinguisher you have back in the stash. They probably ship real good and they make one heck of a lamp. Inside them is another small by 3 inch round 10 inches long it’s where the sulfuric acid goes to make it work it makes awesome looking bank. Interest in getting rid of them
Fantastic job on the muffler!
Can Do !
kick this virus in the tail bud get well soon !
start it up
you shouldmark where the spring is
I would of welded another pipe to the inside on and mabey cut some baffles in it
ist heat wonderful
you mean the drive chain. not the timing chain
Were else but mustie land do moped and scooters come out of the woodwork to be reborn.
You did a fine job. Good work I like it…
Both the muffler and the gas tank are salvable. The muffler just needs a little silver solder in a spot or two and the gas tank will be good to go if rinsed out with a little water.
*FASHION PINK SPARKS!!!*
Sounds great
Awesome job Mustie! Thank you.ðŸ‘ðŸ»
Great work & good memories Mustie1.The Honda 90 was my first "vehicle".Very relaxing, your skills are tops,cheers from OZ.
Take it to muffler dhop and have it beveled
Loved it!
This is just a honest suggestion you should not run it without a exhaust pipe for more than a few seconds as it can warp the valves particularly the exhaust valve.
JUST A SUGGESTION FROM A OLD MECHANIC.
Starting at 21:00 , when you're drilling like that, don't you use a lubricant? I've always tried to use some sort of lubricant to make it drill easier, and extend the life of the bit. Just curious. I do the same when using a hacksaw.
I just got one simulator to this one but with no key. How would I go about bypassing that???
I stopped at the 33:21 mark. Guys I'm cringing over here watching this exhaust fab. A little constructive criticism, if you would have only cut off the inner portion of the outer shell you could have cut the stock you had and metal knocked that in shape in no time. Then cleaned up the pieces and welded them together and it would have been a lot better and easier. Mr. Lord
That is awesome keep up the great work!
Put mini glass pack
54:39 otherwise known as 'safety squint'
Mustie, now the grinder sparks are pink!! You were cutting headlight ring bolt!!
Would it be simpler to use the cutout reversed and put that into the hole it came from?
Katana in the bin! :O What are you going to repair with that?
