I’m looking at restoring a 1969 Honda CL90, does anybody have any tips, tricks or advise regarding these old Honda’s? How about good resources for parts? I don’t necessarily need exact stock parts, I’m actually looking to do more of a cafe racer style build in the future on this bike anyway. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This caught my attention, a neighbor "gifted" me an old Honda 80 Elite and when looking for a shop manual for it I also found this ... https://www.manualslib.com/manual/989554/Honda-S90.html?page=3#manual

Thank you! That will definitely be helpful when I start the rebuild.

I will be needing to replace the fuel tank on it, do you know if this frame will accept a "universal" tank seeing how the frames on these bikes are stamped and not standard tube steel?

I'm jealous. I bought a 1969 S90 but had to sell it before I could get it running. I bought a generic cafe racer seat for it off craigslist.
-I like the cafe racer seats, but I'm not so big on the clip-on handlebars. I like a more standard seating position.
