Here ya go sweat. Just got it runnin today. Set the timing and put some pre mix in her and she finally runs after 27 years! Best thing is that I opted not to replace the crank deals and it doesn't seem to need it. And... Just wait till you see what my crankcase catch can is. I'll have to post a pic of that soon

Ps I'll post another video soon I didn't have a front brake and was sketched out. Fast bike

Nice to hear those pipes again! It sounds like it is gonna be a ripper!

 

[ivar]

Fuck yeah!

x2!!

As for the seat, I suggest gluing together layers of sleeping mat to the desired height, then sanding to shape.

 

[Craigore]

Ivar, thanks for the suggestion. Dave, thanks again for the pipes and suggestions couldn't have done it without your help!

Thanks, now on to the next project. My first motorcycle: Honda s90. Been sitting for 15 years behind my parent's house. Who wants to buy the rd!?

been working on the bike a little bit
new hand-made seat welded from steel - the puch moped seat wasn't doing it for me anymore.
some paint (for once) - albiet from a rattlecan
also some ratbike mesh side panels (only one shown) which are also hand-made
and... it finally has a front brake (new M/C and braided line)
needs to be tuned - running lean (gah)
