Picked this up today off CL.  It will definitely keep me and the kids busy...

that thing is sweet. what kind of work do you have to put into it? did you get a good deal?

Got a couple of those myself. Haven't done much more than clean the carbs... But I'll get them going soon enough.

Welcome to the club.  These little bikes are tons of fun! Did you get clear title? I'm waiting for the DOT to answer my application.  The seller had no title, though she was able to give sale documentation four owners back.  Hoping to ride on the road by spring.  

Looks like you have some work ahead of you.  You'll be surprised at how easy it is to find parts.  Check www.dratv.com, and eBay.  Pretty much everything you'll need can be had somewhere on the internet.

Good luck!

Looks like an early one.
Almost everybody would love a CT90, very cool.

It's a K0 for sure but a later one.  The really old ones had the two sprockets on the rear.  The engine is locked up along with a number of other cosmetic and mechanical deficiences.  I got it for $100 including a motor that needed a head.  No title at this point.

I've had more fun with my CT90s than any other bikes I have owned. I still have a 1970 model but I recently sold my 1969 CT90 and 1965 CT200. The CT200 had the leading axle fork like yours but it had the old push rod engine and no dual range tranny. It had a large and small sprocket on the rear wheel. You had to bolt the large sprocket onto the small one and add a section of chain that was in the tool kit.
I recently found some ammo boxes that I intend to mount to my 1970 model for "adventure touring". 
One thing that I would caution you about is that these bikes seem to reproduce like rabbits and next thing you know you'll have several lurking in your garage.

Well hope fully it doesn't mate with any other of the other bikes I have in the garage.  No telling what I'd end up with then   Just saw an auxiliary gas tank for these bikes one eBay.  They thought of everything!

Wow, I did have a thread on this.  Picked up parts here and there (Barber's, eBay, Dratv) over the last year or so and I got it running today.  It ran great.  My tank, while looking real nice on the inside, was all rusted on the underside.  I have another one on the way.  I filled the bowl with gas and rode it around my yard.  New front brake cable, throttle cable, good seat and other stuff still coming.  I like it!
