My 1972 Honda Us90 Build

[Akracing]

Some pics of early stages of the project... I really like this little bike... We have been spending a lot of time in the shop... I am planning a order through vintage motorsports for a bunch of Repo or Nos Us90 parts, has anyone here every bought from them, I was looking at there plastics today...

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 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...

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.

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...

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...
