1964 Bridgestone 90 sport Cafe Project

Many years ago, I purchased a 1964 Bridgestone 90 Trail off craiglist for $200. It apparently lived on the bottom of the ocean for many decades:

I set about building a little Cafe Racer, after sourcing a few extra bits. A few of the "in process" shots:

I got it running for the first time this weekend, including a first ever voyage around the block on it:

I still have a few details to flush out on it, but projects like this rarely get 100% finished.

Sweetness!!! Well done!

Woooo... I reiky dat a lot.

Wow! Nice job! That thing looks freaky. Never seen anything like it.

Cool.

Great job, I would love a pressed steel framed bike

thats seriously awesome! Ive wanted to find a Honda Dream project to build into a cafe bike just like that. 90cc huh? seems like a great addition to a magazine if said magazine happened to have a pit bike of the month section...if only such a magazine existed hint hint!

VERY nicely done!! And you stuck with it. Gazillion extra points!! Gotta get period leathers and goggles. Current spec helmet, though.

And photoshop yourself on it at Bonneville, on a board track, or best, one of the more known curves/sections on the Isle of Mann!

Holy crap that is cool!

I have a 65 Suzuki K10 I need to do that to.

That's really beautiful, man!

How bad do you want one and how far would you go to get it?

NICE. Love the number too! Aaron Creamer is smiling down at you sir.

How bad do I want it? Pretty bad! How much do I have to spend is another question. An available title would sure help things though (looking for a take-the-backroads-to-work kinda project, must be able to be titled).

Damn. I don't have a title for the Dream I have. But, I could let it go for very cheap. It's currently disassembled, as it was when I got it. Care to know more, or does "no title" turn you away?

I hate to drag the conversation on further due to a very long wait to save enough cash, but the lack of title does not necessarily mean deal breaker if a title can be had...what kinda price tag are we talking here?

That's cool how it fell apart like that

You have some really cool bikes.

Thanks for the nice words guys. I'm currently pondering my next project. I have the following bikes awaiting attention:

1967 Suzuki K11 Corsair

1964 Bridgestone BS7 Surfrider

Numerous 1965 Honda S90s

I also have a handful of Honda C100 and C110 frames and parts, but I've done a couple Honda 50 projects lately, so I'm thinking I want something different.

I'm leaning toward an S90 race bike project. Like a real stripped down racer with a hand made fairing.

I would use the word "cool" to describe that project.

the rest of your stable is pretty wicked too.
