CD90Z - seat is reborn.

Well actually the seat wasn't reborn but I was very lucky to pick up a late S90 seat which was in pretty good condition and has the same fittings as the CD90Z.

CD90Z - shocking.

Another job that's now been sorted was the rear shocks. A bit rusty and in need of attention as can be seen from earlier posts.

They were given the same initial treatment as the tank.

A useful tool, cheaply made from a bit of old hardwood and a couple of 10mm threaded rods was this spring compressor - worked perfectly.

And fitted to the bike they look much better! Just need new washers and dome nuts.

CD90Z - tanked up.

A bit more on the S90 fuel tank recently purchased. It was in pretty good condition and a reasonable price.

Using the Rustseal system the tank was de-rusted cleaned and brush primed in a rather nice blue.

After a light sanding I gave the tank another primer coat.

Finally the first of many top coats in black.

CD90Z - blow it!

It's been a while so here's a bit of an update. I sorted the wiring out a bit and temporarily joined wires (I have since put on new connectors and some new wiring). The horn wasn't functioning which was resolved by drilling out the rivets and cleaning the points inside the horn - a bit like contact breaker points. This did the trick and I now have a decent sounding horn for a little 6v model. The horn bracket was also rusting nicely away so a bit of sawing and filing and I made a new aluminium bracket which secures the horn perfectly.

Just the cover to paint.
