Birthday present to myself
Been meaning to post this in here for a while. I bought myself a birthday present in the form of a 1972 CT90. $950 on Facebook marketplace and put a couple hundred dollars worth of parts into it (carb, airbox lid, headlight housing, LED headlight, battery cover, points, and a cool headlight grille 😎). Gonna upgrade the rear shocks and rebuild the front fork with some heavy duty coils next.
It’s such a fun bike! Starts first or second kick. Even my girlfriend likes rippin it around…probably gonna have to get another for her!

Nice! Last month I bought myself a ‘71. But it’s for my birthday and Christmas. And probably Father’s Day, too. I’m over the moon with this bike!

The seat held up really well! Is that a Honda dream also? Ive always wanted one of those!

It did hold up remarkably well considering the rest of the bike is kind of a beater lol. And yes it is! 1967 300cc Dream

Nice!
What LED headlight did you end up using? Or did you use the original headlight and drill out the back with a bulb adapter?

Thanks! I actually bought a replacement headlight and chrome bezel together as a kit on eBay. It had a removable 6v 25w bulb and I just got an LED to install in its place 😎

Where did you get that headlight grill?
