Sure hope the skid pan lines up better than the original. That was the hardest thing putting 1968 Hondas together - lining up the bolts for the footpeg bar that went through the skid pan into the frame.

I dig it. That looks sharp as all get out.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

What a peach! When I was younger we used to gear up with all the new dirt riding gear with our XR’s and CR’s, KTM’s and ride out of a friends house. He was an older guy that had a couple of CT90’s. He would stay behind and off we would go. You couldn’t get me to ride a CT 90. Now that I have a hard time walking around the block I realize the CT-90 does just fine. I smile and remember my friend every time I see one. Rip James.

I'd be interested, except I already have a '71 with a Chinese 125... Electric start would be nice, though.

That's the downside with owning an old Trail 90.... They're so hard to kill that you never get a chance to upgrade.
