[QUOTE="b52bombardier1, post: 167977, member: 5931"] Hello Eric, Very . . . . very nicely done and you should be very proud. It appears that you got lucky on the two hardest parts of any ST90 restoration. 1 - those rear turn signal mounts on the tool box were not torn and shredded beyond hope of use or repair. And 2 - you appear to have a functional speedometer cable . . . very hard to find. Run a followed search on Ebay and the original turn signal mounts will eventually show up. The third hardest thing to find that you might never want is a luggage rack for behind the seat. "Triple-A" made the best one back in the day, IMHO and both of my ST90 bikes and my CL100 all have a Triple-A rack. In fact, you can widen your search a little because the same CL100 rack from that company fits an ST90. In any case, make sure you get the two support pieces for this rack because its useless without them but I could fab you up a set if you needed them. I also had no trouble with that black handlebar switchgear on either side but it is also tough to find. Fortunately, your micro surgery with the CT90 stuff was sufficient to get yours going again. And a same or nearly the same year CT90 wiring diagram works well. Only the wire lengths are different, AFAICT. A lot of people don't like that topaz bike color but I love it for the reminder of some almost forgotten kind of candy I used to get as a kid that was the same color. I'm gettin' homesick just thinking about that candy . . . But again, nice job and thanks for keeping another ST90 out of the smelter. Rick [/QUOTE]
