Its running like a dream now and my wife plans to use it to get to work.
Enjoy it, you'll find that it's a good, strong, runner for it's size. And if you end up needing parts for it, drop me a line at
sykerocker@yahoo.com - I'm part of the parts department for Richmond's largest Honda-anything-but-cars dealership. If I can't get it through Honda America's parts stores (mechanicals are probably still somewhat available, forget any tinware), I have a lot of NOS vintage sources in the midwest.
I also have a '69 Super 90 in the garage that's part of my rotation for work in the summer - at a 22 mile each way commute, it's just a bit too long to bicycle. The 90 gives me 100mpg. Who cares what they charge for gas!
