X90 shortster
I currently own a SG and today decided that my SG needed a baby brother. So I purchased an X90 shortster. I had one of these as a kid and it is what I learned to ride on. I pick the X90 up on saturday!

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.

RE: X90 shortster
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.

RE: X90 shortster
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.

RE: X90 shortster
Kool. I thought maybe. I have an NOS 1971 Viking never riden sitting in my rec room. Someone saw it and said that Harley Shorster was made by the same company and they do look very much alike.
ORIGINAL: x90 rider
The little bikes were made in Italy at Aermacchi, an Italian motorcycle company that was owned by Harley Davidson.
