I picked this 1977 honda trail 90 2 years ago, on pt 1 we got it running, in part 2 we look into why none of the lights work and what we can do to save the rotted out exhaust,
one mans junk is another mans treasure…

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.
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
