Saved a us90 ATC today!

[250rmanfmf]

Well I was looking on craigslist christmas eve and found an ad that was just listed for a honda 3 wheeler. The pic was poor so it was real hard to see condition. I was lucky to get it. Paid $50 for it. I tried to get it for less when I saw the condition because its pretty poor but the guy said he had eight guys behind me with full price offers. The good is its a atc90. The bad is its in poor poor condition. Tank and exhaust is rusted out, fenders are no good, tires are no good, seat, thumb throttle is also trashed. Lots of rust. It was left out in the woods back in the early 90's. The guy who sold it to me said he bought the property and found it in the woods.

The plan for it is I was wanting to do a nichelson frame hopped up 90 motor for flat track old school racer. I will need a lot (tank, thumb throttle, fenders, exhaust, frontend. I was going to build the motor with honda/poweroll parts. I am pretty far away from starting on this project but will be collecting parts over time for it.

put the 110 style hubs and rim/tires on it and go from there. get a 90/110 tank off of someone on here or ebay and strip her down and start restoring her lol! maybe one day I will get the pleasure of restoring a 70s model USATC90!

Damn, it was probably running when it was abandoned............ how sad:( Good luck! I would have grabbed it too.

Yea, I couldnt leave it. I have a 110 motor that I might put in it. and I will switch to 110 hubs. I will wait till I get a better parts bike to restore it.

Thanks

I'm currently ressurecting a basketcase 74 atc90. I did the 110 axle swap and used trx450r hubs to fatten up the stance.

Have you tired airing the tires up? even if they dont hold air if there is no huge rips or tears you got your money back with them

[JasonB]

Good save for the price, sadly there doesn't look like there's a lot of reusable parts left. Good luck, I really like thelook of the original us90's!

Like it was mentioned...how are the tires on your find? If they are salvagable, I will give you your money back...I am rebuilding a 74 now myself....:p

Here is a GREAT source for any US90 owner...this guy showed me 3 in the back of the shop and he claimed to have a barn full all in various condition. He's willing to part some and has some 100% non runners he'll only let go as whole units. Goodluck www.hondanuts.com real nice guy...the 2 90's on his showroom floor were beyond mint just stunning.

Tyler,
I have either 3lug triangle hubs or 200S hubs you can have for free if intersted to get you started on your project. Let me know. bigworm626

Thanks BigWorn626 for the offer but I will probably will be going with a 110 axle with 250r hubs.

1 tire looks like it holds air for a little while. I will be cleaning the tires up and hanging them on the wall as a conversation piece as even if they are junk I dont want to throw them away.

I am on the hunt for a Nicholson Frame and also a aftermarket exhaust for a 110.
