Front fairing stay

The bracket on the front of the frame is mounted on 2 bungs that have been welded onto the headstock of the frame.

They have 8mm threads in them for short 8mm bolts, original honda offcourse, with the "8" on them and 12mm heads.


The bracket is made from thinwall tubing with a threaded piece brazed in it for bolts to adjust the amount of steering, usefull if I will fit a fairing. But I might just run it with small oval numberplates to start with.

Tacho mount added to the front stay, made from a puch maxi front fender stay, it is a bit heavy, but it had the perfect curve to fit my homemade rev-counter.

The making of the front forks.

Original brakestay has been removed in a way that it is still visible as a modified original part.

Bracket for steering lock has been removed to save weight

Original top plate with blinker stays, mounted with original 24mm bolts.
New bolts now have 19mm heads, would be lighter but less authentic. I have an extra set that I might drill out and make holes for locking wires when I have the time.

The making of the Clip-on bars

Homemade clip-on bars before brazing



Made from thinwall 22mm tent poles to save weight



brazed with silver, endcaps were made from steel bar for the top end, the bottom has a rounded end just like original honda bars, made from M16 domed nuts that were turned on the lathe.

when finished you can hardly see that the rounded end was a seperate piece, here painted and mounted on my project.

Also visible that the front hub has been laced to a DID 18x1.50 rim from an MT125R productionracer, rear wheel will be done later.

Front forks are original CS90 with new stantions from a CB125J that were shortened by 6cm.
Chrome rings under tripple tree were replaced with alluminium rings to support the springs.
The top plate has been left original, including winker stays, as this is also visible in the pictures of the early "factory" CS90 racer. Maybe I will change it for something alloy someday to save weight.

The front hub was drilled between the spoke holes, to get the look of the honda CR93 hubs.

Brake cams were drilled to save weight, but more for the looks.

Also on the other side, big holes were drilled, mostly for looks, but also to save weight and maybe improve cooling

Fitted with bearings that have metal enclosures, for less resistance.

Every little bit helps

CS90 RSC

making nice progress on my CS90 RSC project.
have found a 4th gear to be modified for my old style S90 gearbox, to get a closer ratio.

here is my project as it is now:

Wheels fitted, forks shortened, tank and seat only loosly put on, as I am looking for a replica of the original RSC90 tank.

more pictures of parts being made will be posted later on.

Racing at Enter

Last saturday I raced my Honda CB50 racer at Enter in Holland.

Had some problems with the clutch, just like the week before in Veenendaal, I hope I can get new clutchplates this week for the races in Basse and Purmerend.

Otherwise I will have to ride like it is now, not to big of a problem, only when we have a red flag and have to do a restart.
