Ok I was cleaning up all my bike stuff. You know get rid of everything before somebody sticks me on TV as a hoarder. Mark/Kram sends me all these pictures of what you can turn a small Honda into. I bought one just messing around and thought ,hey if they can do it I can too.This is what I'm starting with. A brand new junk 1971 Honda trail 90
I paid $75 for it and it dosent run, but it was cheap. A guy here in Houston sells the repop Honda motors they get from China for $200. I got one of them.
Electric start and automatic trans. Then the fun part started. I found a frame a guy was selling that had some cool mag wheels. He wanted $50. I thought it was a deal since it had new tires. I didnt like the old forks because they were all rusty under the covers , so I picked up some tubes from an old Honda xl125. The guy didnt have the triple trees ,so I found some off of a china dirtbike. I had to have the holes for the tubes milled out a little. Then its just a matter of chopping the frame up and extending the tube a little to make it longer. Right now I'm in the design /kinda welded stage , but here is what I have so far. So if anybody has wondered what I have been doing....it Marks fault!
