TC90 Blazer part 4

After cleaning all of the fork parts I put them back together using All Balls seals and dust wipers. While not listed for the TC90, the kit is part # 56-105 and is used on many older bikes with 30mm forks and fit perfect. This bike uses the old type forks with steel lowers and a screw on seal holder. A Craftsman strap wrench works great for these.


Here is the front brake plate.

Here it is cleaned up and disassembled. Both brake plates had peeling paint.

I stripped the paint and cleaned up the aluminum.

The hubs on the bike have a factory paint also, but no peeling, and cleaned up nicely.

The tires are Inoue (IRC) Scramble, and in great shape. It uses a 2.75-18 on the front and 3.00-18 rear.

The front tire has a date code of 191 and the rear is 201, so the 19th and 20th week of a year ending in 1. The bike has a 6/71 build date, so these are most likely the originals. For a road bike I'd never use 40 year old tires, but they should work for a play/trail bike.

The wheels ready to go.

And it's a roller! With the very low miles, and generally nice shape of the bike, I ended up having to spend very little money on the chassis, and now time to get going on the engine work.
