Did someone say CT90, I have one of those

 

Girlfriend is registering this beauty today. It's a 76 with 98 miles on it. Her dad bought it back then, put 91 miles on it, lost the key, and stored it away in a dark corner of the garage until we pulled it out, got it re-keyed, and resurrected it. She's done her rider training course with the specific goal of getting licenced to take this beast down the road. It's so much fun to burn around on. I've put the additional 7 miles on it, but promised her to keep my hands off of it so she can have the honor of rolling over the 100 mile mark.

 

That’s awesome!!! 98 miles is incredible!! These little bikes are so much fun, I get more comments riding it then I do on it then any of my other bikes

 

Mine is..... less period correct than y'all those are beautiful though.

Five or six years ago I paid a guy $600 for two CT90s and a CT200 that were half buried in mud. Took the best parts and cobbled them together into one working bike and sold the other two frames and engines and made most of my money back. Then went through and did a full mod on the frame I kept the next winter in my apartment. Did an early CB front end to get rid of the leading link suspension, longer shocks on the back, bobbed the tail, stupid-looking (but I love it) super moto front fender, LED light bar and LED tail light, re-did the whole wiring harness, did a 12v branch circuit off the 6v native system. Yadda yadda. The engine never quite recovered, it would go about 35-40mph after a full rebuild and it would start stuttering hard, my best diagnosis was a bad condenser, but it was a weird one that was extremely hard and expensive to find. Ended up swapping in a YX140 with electric start and never looked back. 1st gear is still short enough and the engine is torguey enough to climb a tree, so I'm not mad about losing dual range, but 4th will go 60mph with room to keep going. I was able to keep the stock exhaust, too.

 

Great job! Looks like a blast to ride!

 

i agree with this... id love an adventure bike but it really wont fit my riding around here so a naked sport bike would be best for riding back and forth to work and keep the klx for supermoto stuff or dirt stuffs



but then i see stuff like this and just want it lol

 

F me! I want it!

 

yup the only thing that sucks is that new cowl over the lights is 500! but id buy it because it looks cool

 

I think I am on my 6th rally fairing I have done in a bike. After about the 3rd ya just don’t care anymore…you will eat PB&J if necessary

 

you got pics of the ones you did?

 

I just may. Had some phones die and I ain’t a sentimental person….as you can see by the way I move thru bikes.
Let me look for ya.
The first one I made myself with cutting up a Lowes bucket. It actually looked great!

we used to make street fighter headlight cowls this way.

 

Im permanently on a ramen diet

 

Don’t believe that for a second

 

ive always thought one for the klx would be neat but only one company i saw made one and its pricey af!

 

The T7 is awesome, and that one looks like it’s ready for battle

 

for real! the thing that sucks is the cost of 10,500 lol just a lot of money for me since i got the truck loan and the car project lol

 

Time for new footwear for the KLR. Giving Shinko 705s a try.

Redneck bike lift in the shop/brewery. Milk crate not included.
