RE: X90 shortster
Nice buy, I have 4 X-90s, 2 with titles(street legal) and 2 without. They are a blast to ride around town and easy to park. If you need some sources for parts. let me know. The best that I have found is Jim's Harley in Mendon, Ohio.

Those are so cool. Unfortunately for me, by the time they came out with the Shortster, I had already graduated up to slightly bigger bikes. By the tank graphics, it appears to be a 1974 model. They changed the graphics yearly and I had a 1974 SX175 with those graphics on it.

1. Shop manual or parts book - ebay.
2. You can use any good motorcycle 2-stroke oil in the injector tank or premix at 50 to 1. Originally Harley wanted the oil mixed at 25 to 1 in the 1970s but with todays modern oil I mix at 50 to 1.
3. The manual calls for 2-stroke oil in the gearbox but I use SAE30 motor oil in the gearbox. It takes 1.3 pints.
