Today my clubman Z-bend bars came in the mail, too bad they make the reat of the bike look even more trashed than before. I still need to trim the bars but i'll wait to see if this bike is even worth building, i.e. See if i can get a title and see if i can get the engine unfrozen. Otherwise ill just save these bars for a CB bike.

My general ideas
At this point my goal is to get the engine unstuck with marvel mytery oil, its soaking as i write this. I also bought the bike without a title or a key, so i would like to try and apply for a lost title and i found a website, www.hondakeys.com for a replacement key and im looking into that. I just purchased a set of clubman Z bend handlebars for the bike since the stock ones are trashed. I want to build somewhat of a cafe racer out of this to prepare myself for a more street bike like a CB350 or something along those lines. The bike has a lot of problems in that there are dents in the fork tubes, both fenders have more than a couple of dents and it appears there is a crease in the gas tank right at the top of it but for now i wont bother with those, i just want to get what is necessary for the bike. Ive also thought about running a different hinda tank, but ill see about that.
$80 Later
Ive been scouring craigslist lately just dipping my feet into the world of motorcycles and after a couple of months of daily viewing i found this Honda S90 nearby for a price i couldn't refuse so i sent an email, after driving around denver thrifting for a while i got an email back from the owner who gave me his number, then i headed out to Thornton Co and managed to squeeze the bike into my Isuzu Trooper, the mini-SUV. Anyways after hopping on the S90 yahoo group i had a guy tell me i could find the year of my bike on the wiring harness inside the frame beneath the gas tank. It turns out it's a 1965 model.
