Honda S90 Project Part 3 Clubman Bars

Honda S90 Project: Part 3 - Clubman Bars

The stock bars and controls came easily off of the S90. I ordered a set of clubman bars to replace the stock ones. The stock bars had the wiring ran on the inside to the light switch, so I'm going to have to figure out how to adapt the wiring/controls to the new clubman bars.

I got the clubman bars this morning and you could tell they were made for a cb350. They stuck out to the side way too far. It was a easy fix, I just sawed 2.5 inches off of each side with my trusty jigsaw. At first I was to lazy to put on glasses while cutting, and as a result I got a piece of metal in my eye. Heed my warning and wear eye protection from the start when cutting anything.

Trimming up the clubman bars:

I put a new style throttle on the clubman bars and test fit my levers. Ah, its nice to feel the throttle to actually snap back on one of these old bikes. I still need to sort the carb out, sort out the petcock issue, and work on the taillight wiring. It shouldn't take too much longer to get this bike going. I've been lusting after the Takegawa 178cc big bore kit (which also fits the gpx150 and should more or less bolt into the S90) which should give me a 190lbs 20+ HP mini cafe racer. Maybe even it could be a Ninja 250 killer. Stay tuned.

What throttle assembly did you use on the clubmans? I can't stand the original slide throttle on the S90. Your looks "60's" correct instead of the chrome or plastic ones you can get today.
Thx
