hi folks
just bought my self a Cub 90 12v after much searching. its a bit of a rotter, missing loads of parts, various bits seized up, horrible repaint job, you know the type! taken a gamble on it as there was no V5, so ive applied to the dvla for one, fingers crossed its a genuine barn find! will no doubt be on here for various parts in the near future, in the meantime its nearly down to a bare frame for a blast and re-spray, then hope the engine fires up now its back in one piece (it wasnt!). having lots of fun working on it anyway, tinkering at its best!
look forward to getting it out on the road in a month or so all being well
new in north east

Sorry it won't let me add my pics, file too large? It was the nice red colour, but has been resprayed/brushed a darker maroon...badly! Seized stand and rear mudguard, no lights or indicators, cracked plastics, missing lots of other bits! Need to find a good sandblaster in north east now. Work in progress

Hi welcome to the site. to post photos look at the guide above these posts , they have to be hosted elsewhere some where like photobucket.
Check the bike is not stolen before you go spending too much though once you have a V5 it will be worth it.

Re: new in north east
happy days, V5 arrived yesterday so its a green light for restoration!
just need to find some foot pegs, indicators, mirrors, chain guard and a fuel cap and she'll be nearly there
