That's why I wanted one. This is an older model, but luckily dynabride still sells all the parts for it. So if I ever need to rebuild the motor I can.

Harbor Freight has the 5 pound vibratory tumbler on close out for $59 and change. I picked one up today and so far it is doing good cleaning some 65 year old hardware. Be sure to check the website before heading to a HF store. Not all stores have them. https://www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-...MI5Z-FvM6khQMVfx2HAx201Q0tEAQYASABEgKiRfD_BwE

Nice, they have one close to me. If I had a need right now I would go grab one. Can't spend the $$ now without needing it though.
First I bought this for pretty cheap. Found out it has no numbers (VIN tag missing and no number stamped on frame)
A few days later I found this one grabbed it. Got less than $500 between the two and will end up parting out the orange one and keeping a few things on a shelf for spares.

That red trail90 is in great shape! Nice score man
I'm pretty tickled about it. For $250, it turns over, came with a new battery and key.
Nice score. When I was a kid my dad use to take me to hill climes. There were always the big power & big noise guys who tried to speed their way up the hill, but I was always amazed at the number of guys who "chug, chug, chuged" their way, clear to the top, on Trail 90s and 125s Tough little bikes.

That makes sense. Someone probably snagged the VIN to use for a better bike. I was very confused when I couldn't find a stamped number on the frame.
I'm pretty pumped about both, I'll take the original rack and the rear seat from the orange one, probably keep the engine on a shelf and part out the rest. The red one should be running tomorrow.

I received a 270* rephase pin for a XS650. I think it'll be used for the one in my shed. I also happen to have a 750 kit sitting on the shelf.
My cafe racer project is in bits again and I have been suffering riding withdrawals so I went looking for a cheap bike I could ride without working on it.
If I got a work that needed work I may as well be working on my project.
This is what I got, a Kymco Venox 250 done only 2000km,basically a up dated Honda Magna build in the same factory with Kymco body work 41mm forks.
This one is 2013 model still fitted with 2012 tyres and factory wax on the chain. It's had it's 1000km service and looks like hoses have been changed because it has nonstandard clamps.
So for now I'm giving it a once over and it will be my ride.

And this, a set of freshly honed, cleaned, and prepared T500 jugs & heads. I'm about 99.9% sure about the T500, they look right and there's a tach cable in the box labeled T500 so I think it's probably right. I'll take bore measurements if requested. They look pretty good, One bent fin on the right front corner of the right jug.

And this. It's two complete banks of four Mikuni carbs. Cleaned w/ all the parts, except gaskets, needed to assemble, set up, and go. I've been through it all and it looks like 100% of the pieces are there. One set labeled 3LK 00 T9Z3 and the other 3LK 10 E8Z1. FZR1000, I believe.

Also a set of '02 SV650 wheels, 17" dia. Both look great. The front is very clean and is ready for new bearings & seals. The rear hasn't been cleaned up yet. Both show no bends, chips, or cracks.

And finally, this Takasago 18" rim, appears to be new. Marked 18X2.15. There are a few light scratches on it but from the looks of the soles I'm very sure it'sn ever been laced nor has a tire mounted.

Rode home from the swapmeet with a very akward backpack. Pre oil in frame triumph frame with hardtail. For $100 it was a good deal.
