Rusted Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Sourced a cheap Honda CT90 off TM ($20). Basic plan is to strip it down to bare essentials, paint it and tart it up with cheap mini bike parts. So now on the hunt for a Honda supercub C50 engine if anyone can help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Good luck with the C50 engine into the CT90 frame. Will need mods for sure to fit. Im loving that Aermacchi!! More pics of that please! Whats it go like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 A lot of those pit bike engines are a straight bolt in to C50 frames. Apparently they are not that much more work to get into a C90 frame. Would be better than trying to find a good second hand one. Plus the pit bike engines are cheap. Like $350 for brand new 8 horse power model.

Chris.QCR Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Fresh just brought a pitbike engine for his C50 . 125cc for about $500 bucks. they will also bolt into a C70 & C90 but they will not bolt into a CT90. CTs are different engine design and frame design to Cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 More homework may need to be done. I'll throw a few more pics up tomorrow of the 350SS and a few of my dailyied GSX550. Never ridden the 350SS as the odometer says less then 1000miles. It's tidy but far from mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusted Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 So I've got my idea for this project and the CT frame just isn't cutting it for me at this point, but I will progress. First basic strip. For I have envisioned the rear Took out to much meat from the rear arch, but have pumped it out and added some wires. Playing with some paint. Feeling the love with the exposed front springs. Having some trouble with the wide front wheel... Current stance fitted with XL100 front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
