Just bought my first US90

**whyzee** · 03-13-2010, 02:53 PM

quite a bit different from all the R's i've had, but this things looks like so much fun to ride without tearing up the yard and getting fully geared up for riding the R. Sometimes I am just too dam tired to ride the R, but need my "fix" , hope this satisfies

Wow, that's real nice... is that "parrot green"? I want one.

**whyzee** · 03-13-2010, 03:45 PM

a restored 'parrot green', might be called mighty green ?? I really do not know anything about these things . I will let you know if it is fun to ride . I hope they have an auto clutch because I do not see a clutch lever anywhere???
Seller said evrything was perfect, he seemed to know a little bit about these. I will ask about the clutch unless someone here chimes in

Very, very nice US90, I love the green,blue and yellow ones, they are so out of the ordinary. I'm not sure, but I think they might have put the yellow decals on the wrong sides of the tank. A very nice trike, that I would love to have.

Nice looking 90.

**atc350xer** · 03-13-2010, 07:02 PM

I read an article on another site... they are auto clutch

**Vealmonkey** · 03-13-2010, 07:03 PM

I'm pretty sure those yellow decals on your tanks are upside down on the wrong sides of the tank. Also, if you plan on riding this alot, I would get the wheel adaptors. I would put those balloon tires up, covered up in a cool, dry dark place. I would hate to see you puncture one. And also yes, the 90 is auto clutch or maybe semi-auto clutch would be a better term. Your foot actually operates the clutch every time you upshift or down shift. With a little practice, you will be foot popping the clutch to some amazing wheellies! LOL Nice trike. Protect the wheels. Have fun. Have you folded it up and pulled it apart and put it in the trunk of your car yet? That's what these were made to do. Get yourself a shop manual, owners manual and find you a couple brochures and old adviertisements. The color you have is mighty green. Parrott green is the lighter green color of the earlier 90s.

thanks guys for all the info! feel much better knowing it is an auto clutch , but nervous now that the guy who restored it put the tank decals on wrong????
Veal Monkey, I just bought the bike in California , so it will take a couple weeks to get it shipped to CT.
Pretty sure the tires alone could sell separatly for close to what I paid for the bike ($1100) , so if it is a bomb, i can recoup my $$
still really happy about the bike, looks like so much fun to putt around on. Can't wait to see if it fits in the back of my wifes jeep!! that would be cool!
open to any and all info, you guys schooled me already, ty.

**whyzee** · 03-13-2010, 09:59 PM

thanks for the pics. I will be changing them asap! tell me more about the rimsa and tires you have on your bike in the pic. i need to get that setup so i don't ruin the original ones.
Thanks guys

Those are just stock rims probably with 22x11x8 tires. The parts you need are the adapters. They will let you bolt stock 110 wheels onto the us90 hubs. You can get them from vintage motorsports who is a member on here. They will hook you up.

ahh , thanks VM. Vintage motorsports is really into the US90, I was checking out thier website before I bought this bike to see if parts are impossible to find. They actually started to make hard to find parts and sell them to keep us running! Awesome!

Nice trike for the money! I think I saw this on E-bay the other day..And when I did, I noticed the tank stickers looked a little funny. Easy fix.

**vintagemotorsports** · 03-14-2010, 09:21 AM

Yes I have everything you will need to fix that 90 right up . I was looking at this 90 on ebay last week and emailed the guy to let him know the tank was painted upside down he sent me some wise ass comment. I would use the term restored on this bike very loosely for 1000 you probably cant go wrong if the tires are good but pictures usually make things look better than they are in person and i am seeing alot of wrong things that were done but wait till you get it in pop the rear fenders off and shoot some pics and we can tell you whats right or wrong good news is most of that stuff is easily fixable still for 1k not a bad deal
