Just picked up two 1971 CT90s. CT140 Time? - Page 3

I got the new cover today and starting undercoating the frame. I think it will look good and I can easily touch it up.

I can't find a 3/8 bit to drill out the engine mounting holes for the stock bolts so I will have to go down to the store tonight.

Also I am goind to have to make a lower rear mount for the engine. I may have it running next week.

Drill the holes to 7/16" and got some new bolts, but I mismeasured and will have to go back and get longer bolts.

Went ahead and ordered the custom lower motor mount so that I could put the lifan into the ct90 frame. The price was good enough not to mess with making my own. I needed other parts too so did so one stop shopping.

When those come I should be able to make it into a runner.

The undercoating doesn't seem to be holding well. I may have to strip it and start over on that. Maybe I bought to cheap of stuff.

I have a second frame if anyone is considering one of these projects.

Did dude ever get back to you on that stator cover?

Not yet. UPS claim in process. They were suppose to contact the sender next and then I guess get back to me.

I got a new cover already and that is ready to go.

I just want the cost to replace the cover. Not a big deal.

ImEasy. The intake didn't fit. Wrong angle. Carb hit the frame.

I found a longer one that angles to the right. Have it coming.

Sold most of the stock engine parts and made all my money back plus some that I gave for both bikes.

Got my box for DRatv with the conversion mounts.

Bought a couple of new bolts. When the intake gets here I should be able to make it run.

I think I am going to give this bike to my Dad.

Darn, that's a bummer. Add it to your scrap metal pile... :wink:

I am going to put it in the forsale section for next to free if someone can use it.

The exhaust looks to be a winner though.

Didn't get a chance to work on it yet.

Sure hope it works for ya. It definitely looked purdy.

katoranger · 06-30-2008, 05:54 PM

I got the engine bolt in place and the lower motor mount in place.

The new intake came today and it still didn't angle enough. I clearanced the frame with a hammer and got it to fit.

I guess next step is to see if I can get it to fire up.

I got a seat. Need to add some foam and make a new cover for it.

CTs are getting parted out. I think I am going to try to put the 125cc engine into my nice clean dr250 frame.
