1970 Yamaha HS1 90cc twin

5-port, 5-speed, 75MPH so far...

Bought this from an old guy at church for $75. First thing I did was put on the drag bars and clean the carbs.

I was able to get it up to 75 a few times according to the speedo so the original front brake was quite inadequate. I modified a TLS brake from a yamaha YM1 305, that did the trick.

I laced the hub up to the tiny HS1 rim. It's working pretty well other than the fact that my spoke tightening may have warped the drum...
