Good job keep us informed!

[Akracing]

Thanks... will do... I was waiting for someone to comment I needed some motivation

I have one of those chromed axle carriers with the hitch built in on my soon build... started with the that carrier with the chrome aftermarket brake drum and US90 axle and a Joker frame to start and then aquiring other US90 parts to hopefully start assembly before the end of the summer/year. Figured I wanted the US90 folding footpegs and the twisty turn steering handle bars! I picked up a set of the axle adapters from VMS second hand. I think you will find Mike a great guy to work with there.

Thanks for the input I have heard good things about them and will be ordering some parts from them...I would love to track down a joker and build my own but This 90 is for my wife to play around on... This is the first trike project I have ever tackeled... I am learning a lot and buying a lot of new shop tools for sure but I get frustrated because I want every aspect to be perfect but I have to come back to reality and try and control the spending lol... Sometimes I gotta do stuff like "just clean it and use it" or "just rattle can it" because I am on a budget... But its a great feeling to just stand back and see what some time, money and hard work can do... Plus I see my 250r on my shelf in a pile of parts and its hard to resist from digging in lol but I'll get um both done in time for trikefest 2014 I'm sure...

173785 173786 Got some ambition yesterday so painted my frame....

My US90 is one of the first 3000 produced... an Aquarius Blue one a "K0". Mine is original, not restored and noticed Honda painted the head tube and front of frame to match rest of trike. Not sure on a 72 (K1??)...

Dansville... not far from Raffa's.

[Akracing]

Oh cool that's only bout an hour from me... You guys ever go on any rides out that way?

[350x'inNY]

I haven't done much riding since the patter of little feet a few years ago. My family has a farm I ride on with trail riding there and I ride with some friends down to Limestone NY a couple times a year. Have a 300R studded for the Ice so I head down to Raffa's for the Ice Fest. About it... how about you?

[Akracing]

Well i am new to the whole scene and just bought my first trike about 7 months ago, well first since childhood... We sneak around a bit and ride the old Rr tracks... Other then that just ride on some family's property... I plan on hitting trikefest next year... Its funny I spend way more time buying/selling/bartering/ working on three wheelers then I do riding them... Not really sure of anyone or anywhere in NY good for riding...

[350x'inNY]

Majestic is nice from what I hear.... down by Limestone NY /Bradford PA. Also there are a few little ATV parks around... one in Cohocton NY and a "Tall Pines" or something like that around Andover/Alfred-ish NY. There is another park I stumbled upon on some back roads around Watkins Glen and Ithaca NY too... seems like it had Rock in its name...

I like reading these restoration threads.I've got a question and what is a US90 and difference if any to normal 90?in my area there were two 110's on cl for $160.and one had round headlight other was square.keep up the good work and post more pictures.makes me want to tear mine apart now and give it a good freashing up.

[Worden18]

Us 90 vs atc 90 there are a few differences. Us 90 had balloon tires able to break down to fit in a trunk diffrent foot pegs axles etc.... The 79-82 110 had round lights and a points ignition. The square headlights where on the newer machines.
Machines looking good keep up the work!

[MattDragontamer]

Looking good! :thumbsup

[Akracing]

Found a donor bike for $50:p... We had to ride out and pick it up at 11pm but we Now have a Decent exhaust, good headlight, Front brakes, Good 4 lug front axle, 3 Good tires, and many small parts that were needed .... Best part is I avoided the High price of E B A Y... lol 175839 175841 175842

[coolpool]

Your build is coming along nicely! That parts bike is a nice score. Interesting megaphone type exhaust. Wonder if there are some goodies in that motor?

[Akracing]

I have no idea... All I know is the kid posted it for $100 or trade on Facebook at like 1030pm and 25mins later I was there picking it up lol but a ton of people were interested in it so I figured if I didn't go right then it would be gone... He called it a 1977 110cc even though its a 90 and he said it runs and rides just needs coil.... Anyway I bought it as is the only thing I looked at was the exhaust .... The cheapest I found just the exhaust when looking last week was for was $80 alone so this saved me some $$$ for sure ...

My guess is that the no spark issue is simpler than a coil. Plug, points?

Cleaned up the new exhaust and mocked it up...176039 176040 176041
