I really couldnt pass up this running US90. I spotted it on Craigslist and picked it up last night. I didnt have a flashlight with me but since it started on the first pull, headlight turned on, and the tires held air I figured I didnt have much to look at. The other plus is it has a rust free tank, very uncommon. However the rest of the poor thing is in very bad shape. It had the most battered fender/home-made seat on it and the frame has been welded and rewelded on in numerous locations. Poor thing is going to have to be put down:cry:

The front Ohtsu is very slick and for some reason it has two right side Firestones:wondering

I dont think you did bad. They are all savable, just depends on how much you are willing to put towards it resurection. If the brakes work might not be a bad first timer trike to learn on. Just my opinion though.

I do have another US90 frame, forks, and axle in very nice shape, so I could build another US90. But I am just going to use this tank and possibly the motor for the Joker I am building. I will probably put the tires on my US90 so I can ride it guilt free! The frame, axle and most hardware, sadly, is scrap metal.
