hey vintage man how do you get the engine so clean?.. do u and blast it? or some kind of solution?

[packhamstruck]

Hey you can buy those tires here in canada, identical to the factory ones the are really cheap, we just put them on a 1983 200e, if you cant get them where you are let me know

[Vintage Man]

To answer the question on the engine being so clean, when we overhaul an engine it gets totally stripped to the bare aluminum cases, all the bare aluminum gets glass bead blasted with and ultra fine grit to give that satin new look , then all the parts get super cleaned to remove all the extra media etc before reasembly, then the outer cases get painted like they came from the factory, its alot of work but its the only way to truly restore a bike.

and on the tires can you get the tires that have the hub molded in the tire like the original or do they have demountable steel wheels let me know on that thanks

The first model US90 had a different zip starter and handle than the one pictured.

hey green human,
thats correct , the recoil is from a 72 us90, the early starters had a male end on the end of the handle and the later where female witch is better so water wont get in to the housing as much, I have seen some late 71 models come through with this style

I REALLY want a US90 to add to my collection. For some reason, they look like they'd be alot of fun. A different kind of ride than the newer trikes.

Hi Tmecars ,
yes they are really cool to drive its like riding on 3 marshmellows very weird feeling. I see in your machine list that you have a sperry rand tri cart, those are great my buddy just picked one up on ebay I am going to do the paint work on it , its that cool 70s lime green almost like the 90. I love the rear tires on those things, put some pics up of it I would love to see it
