1969 Honda CT90Sold as is No TitleThis is a very rare 95% complete original low mileage K1Stored in Scottsdale AZ, very little rust A major improvement to the CT90 'K1 was the addition of the Telescopic Front Fork Suspension. This provided a better ride with a longer travel of the front suspension than the older style bottom link suspension. There is a report that the 1969 'K1 telescopic front forks are unique (shorter top bolt) and thus not interchangeable with later years. Additionally, the engine air intake was moved to be "out of the way", on the left side of the frame, below the seat. However, this lowered the height of the air intake, thus restricting the ability of the CT to cross deep streams. This is a unique, one year only shape for the air intake. This move of the air intake, did allow the use of a plastic, frame downtube cover for the first time. The single side cover for the battery and tool kit was the same color as the CT frame. There were some mid year changes to the K1. Some people think the later K1's are called K1b's (many individuals use this terminology), but Honda never created anything like that, all 1969 Honda Trail 90's, are just K1's. The early K1's had a carburetor with 4 screws (unique to this early model of K1) and the later K1's had the 2 screw model carburetor (the screws held the top and bottom together), confirmed on serial number CT90-233448, perhaps earlier. Both types of carburetors had a specific manifold for each type of carburetor (which are not interchangeable). Early 1969 'K1's had a front, fender mounted, amber side reflector (prized by some CT'ers) and later models had the front amber side reflectors mounted on the front fork tubes (one on each side).
