New projects are hard to resist...

Especially when it was only traded for an old Airhead seat...
She runs, she shifts, but she will still be taken apart and resurrected...maybe in time for HD14 if I get busy.
Finally a 90 with the (original?) small air can and boot. The others have had the bigger air can, like the 100's - not sure if this was a common swap or upgrade from the small ones?
Let the fun begin!

Ahh...finished. Test ride was a success, and every little thing works perfect.
I do love these bikes.

Laurie, If you are going to be kicking these things out in a months time, then how are we all to keep pace?! Well done. Gotta love the Ace 90!

Very cool ace 90. Great job and in one month. You must have several elves working in your shop. I like the low bars.

Thanks y'all.
I was lucky with this one - the engine was just a basic, easy rebuild, and just about all of the frame was usable. Most of the rubber needed replacing, and for the first time, I decided to completely re-wire a bike, instead of only replacing the worst. (It was very satisfying when everything worked).
Also happy the tank cleaned up - good use for those anniversary badges!
I sure like those NJB shocks (function-wise), and I'm fond of the low bars too (even if it's not all "correct"). I did have a cool set of original Hodaka grips on the shelf, this seemed like the right bike for 'em.
Can't wait to see all the great bikes at HD!
