Just started going through a Us 90 i could not sell so Has anyone delt with vintage motorsports for parts? I was looking at the plastics just wanted to see if anyone else has tried them? Also any recommendations for rims and tires? I can not leave the trail pros on there lol.... Any advice on any part of the build is greatly appreciated...
I suggest decoding your VIN to get the exact year. I still don't think that machine is a US90. My bet is 1977-78 ATC 90. It dosn't really matter except searching for parts will be easier. eBay will be your best bet for rear fenders, (they're fibreglass) and easily repaired if not too bad. Seat foams and covers are offered on eBay also. Put that extra set of tires on it. They look nice and will fit the period of the machine. You'll need to decide if it's going to be a rider or trying to make something special out of it. The costs will differ. VMS has lots of nice parts but they come at a cost that you may never recuperate.
I checked the vin the day i got it on this site.... It came back as 1972-1973 Us90... Also on the motor its is marked Us90... and what year did they stop using the collapsable handle bar mounts? The guy i bought it from was the original owner and he said it was his as a kid he rode it and eventually stored it for many years... I have never owned any 90 so I would not have a clue... I have it compleaty tore down and I'm just gonna clean it up so my wife has a trike to ride... She has really been enjoying the build... I don't plan on making money or even recouping any money... My hobbies are racing and trikes I don't plan on making money with either lol... I was gonna order a set of plastics from VMS... She wanted the green ones....
I checked on a few photos of 1974 US90's and don't see collapsable mounts anymore. My best guess is that it's in between the K1 and K2 model. That is using a frame and motor from the 73/73 and the fenders from the 74. The tank is from another era; my guess is that whatever machine donated the rims and tires donated the tank too. Keep us posted on the build!
Thanks for the great info... I bet your right... I have a thread started in the trikesylvania section for some reason I can't load pics here?
Bye the way i checked out your profile and you have some awesome machines!
I inquired why it's so difficult to post pics here but that's just the way it is. Thanks for the compliment. I'll chime in on your post in Trykes'
