So I was thinking about this bike today, and kinda realized Ive taken it all over the place.
 
Brought it from the naki, riden everywhere around Wellington, took it on a 12 day road trip around the whole south island (back on page one, down the west coast up the east), taken it to Napier swap meet and rode it around there,
took it to lead foot and rode the drive way and then around the coromandel,

So after taking it to lead foot, and riding around up there, the motor was struggling to hold onto all of its oil

So for my 30th just been, my misses organized everyone to chip in for a new motor. Thanks to everyone that did, ended up with more than she needed for a 125cc replacement, so upgraded to a 140cc

I needed to get the motor in, running and all setup for man camp, Hence the rear shocks
28269643604_ed97f6191b_b.jpgHonda C90 20 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr

Got a CT110 seat and bash guard
28602219300_ed388224e9_b.jpgHonda C90 19 by Hayden Rowe, on Flickr

Some fairly aggressive knobbies

Modified a CT110 rear sheep rack, and decided that the low narrow bars weren't gonna cut the mustard

So I templated up this adapter to run a normal set of bars, and then got it water cut out of alley

So Im waiting on a whole bunch of parts to come in, but figured I can start cleaning up the frame and what not.

I want to run some really big tires, as big as I can without widening the forks, or extending the swing arm, but will mos likely flare the rear of the frame for clearance,  If anyone can shed some light on how big I could possible go, that would be a big help in giving me somewhere to start

 

Cheers

Just fitted a 110/90 17 on aarons rear wheel which is stock. Thats as big as you will fit on a stock rear end. Same with the front too. You should do a front end conversion while your at it dude. It transforms the handling of them so much and if you get a ct90 / 110 it bolts on

So I made a start on the rear duck tail tonight.
Thanks to Russell (LOW'N'SLOW) I got a CD90 rear guard section that I could work with

Needs the other side finished and some more shaping, but overall pretty happy with it,

Once it gets a layer of humus and bread sticks, should look pretty sweet

found a couple of photos of how I had it after man camp, had to ride it to work for a week while my ute was at the panel beaters,(someone backed into it)

Was good to use it regularly again
