here are the 2 bikes i bought this week. the first the 81 250r i found on craigs list. i had to drive to the bronx to get it. it was listed as an 85 for $450. he didnt really give me a good description other then it ran this summer,plastics good and tires hold air. so for $450 i didnt think i could go wrong. well lone behold it was an 81. very happy still. as some of you know i have been looking for one. anyho he had other people come, as todd (200xman) and myself got it loaded.the other HUGE guy showed up. and man was he pisssed i bought it already. we tried to leave and his buddy in the other truck blocked us. we sat for a minute thinking if we should smash him outta the way. but then he realized it wasnt my fault and he went looking for the seller.

then on the same day i won a 1972 US90 from the orginal owner off ebay.picked that up today. he also has an 85 atc110 he bought new too. but he is keeping that until i bother him enough to sell lol anyways i need tires for the 90. two are orginal but one isnt. all three leak air. can i get tubes for the orginals???? well enjoy the pics.

you cannot get inner tubes for the us90 as the tires are molded to the rims. If you were desperate you could maybe use the spray insulating foam to fill the tires? Those tires are only rated for 2lbs of air or so and there is a specific measurement to see if the tires are out of shape-ruined, or not. It is a measurement around the outside of the tire when it is at the proper inflation.
