Cool. I never thought of using lemon Jell-O as a seat cushion.

Lol stuff is weird for sure!

Back is feeling a bit better, got on the floor and did some fitting for the fender. Going to bring the fender to work tomorrow now that all 6 bungs are at least fit on so I can have a friend (Who actually knows how to weld) tig weld them. Also got the front seat bracket bung in place. Going to stop at the local tailor/upholstery guy tomorrow with the seat to see what they can do for me. If they can get it covered in a week or two I will most likely let them tackle it.

You are making some crazy progress, do you have a day job? Looks good for sure. Love the look of the exhaust. What is that knob on the exhaust, some kind of adjustable baffle? Is the outlet close to your leg at all? Keep the pics coming.

Lol it's been a tiring process. I work 600-230 Monday through Friday as an Engineering Manager. Get to spend some time with my 1 year old and 3 year old until around 730 and then if the wife wants some alone time (Usually needed after a day with the kids lol) I get to go in the garage until 1130ish. Sometimes longer but I usually regret that pretty quickly in the morning.

The baffles on the exhaust are called snuff-or-nots. Popular in the vintage Honda scene. I had to make larger baffles for this pipe size but they work just the same. Once I get the bike started up ill have to take a video showing the difference in sound. My leg clears the exhaust pretty good although i did just put turn outs on them so I might feel a bit more heat than usual. I will try to get a picture of me or the wife on the bike as an example.

Snuff-or-Not, gotcha. Almost like cutout exhaust on cars (not quite the same), change the tone/level with the twist of the lever. Looks very old school from the looks of that original ad, $1.95

[Bnag0]

I should be riding this thing by the end of the week!

I like that technique where you saw part way through the bar stock, bend to the desired angle and then weld up the gap! Nice

[Bnag0]

Adapted old seat to new mounts temporarily.
Removed kickstand and cleaned up area
Pictures of foot and exhaust placement for reference.

GREAT Fabricating skills and pictures of your project BnagO. Thanks for your sharing.

[Bnag0]

Thanks Duke!

Had a friend at work tig weld the intake mount.
Got the new kick stand welded on
Made up a sissy bar, not sure how much I like it but needed something to mount my tail light and turns to (Not done yet)
Attached my plate to the saddle bag.

Really at this point I just need to rig up the rear lights and I should be good to go.

I've been thoroughly enjoying this build thread Bnag0. Your bike looks like something straight out of The Road Warrior.

Thanks Ironman lol. I don't know if ill ever be able to paint it.... I just like the ratty look too much. Maybe down the road if I can score another Roadstar Ill build a second pretty bike. It just seems like I am always wanting to change this one so if i ever did paint it, it would have to be weld through primer lol

[Shores]

We need good straight on left and right profile photos of the entire bike. All the little bits and pieces look great but I don't think I've seen a side profile photo in a long time.

Walk around/start up video is loading.

A few last things to button her up...

Still need a resistor for the blinkers.

[D-Fresh]

Once i get her outside I will have the wife do a little photo shoot to get some updated shots.

Startup video....

No doubt folks will weigh in to tell you that your idle is set way too low, but it sure sounds cool!

Battery failure yesterday but today ended with success.
