these are a good bike, we did one but thru out the stock rotary valve engine & put a china 125 in

 

[GooseMan]

how'd that go? much modifying? I though of doing that cause I got a spare yx160

Yep, I've been lazy wiht this thread. Finally got everything painted and put back together now,

As you can tell its no shining trophy bike, lol.

nah i reckon it looks good,
i can honestly say i have never seen a better one !

haven't found a rear fender yet? there are a couple on ebay US around $120 delivered, bit rough and dear though.

the old cut & reweld mount did the trick

 

[GooseMan]

CHeers craig, I think the 125 has a thinner tyre then mine does though. will check anyway. I think craig at bikelec has one he is thinking of parting out soon, so will check up on that with him.

now i see why, it's at Yamaha retro spares, very expensive there !
check out their CT70 too.

 

[TomaszBurcon]

looks kool how are those handlebars though? bit low? i recon some pootapers would look ok

 

[GooseMan]

Height wise there fine, its just that there really wide and it feels funny, I guess it is to help turn that quad bike wheel up front. If I had more time I would probably have a yx160 in it by now, then it would be alot of fun.

have you had any luck yet getting a rear fender?
I'm doing an RV90 resto at the moment here in Perth and am searching for a front fender. Have been looking for one the same as the one on your bike (mounted low a on frame close to tire). I think this front fender style suits the bike much better than the higher bracket mounted type.
I've got a spare RV90 rear fender that i'd be willing to swap if you've got a spare front fender?
In any case good to stumble across another RV90 enthusiast - i joined forum as soon as i found this thread.
If i figure it out i might post some pics of my project(s) on here

Nice work Gooseman, I just rescued an orange rv90f off my oldies farm, thinking about doing a resto myself how did you find getting the parts mate, think the forks are stuffed on this one. Anyway will do some research and see how i go. Good work on yours, looks good

 

[GooseMan]

cheers mate, didn't really need to buy any parts though, wasn't really a resto just a make over with what I had in the shed ay. Good luck with it all though, fork seals aren't too hard to find.
