New member and Bridgestone owner!
« on: February 17, 2014, 02:22:13 PM »
I recently purchased two Bridgestones to restore. 1965 BS90 trail and a 1968 BS90 sport (oi) as far as I can tell. Found them together looked like a great project. This is my first attempt at restoring anything. I look forward to using this forum for much needed advice.

They look like great candidates and what better thing to pick to start your restoration life than a pair of Bridgestones! Looking forward to watching your progress.

Hopefully you'll find the site very helpful.

Be sure to take advantage of the resources
on this site and don't forget to ask questions.
(parts & service manuals)

Odds are Richard will have any parts you may need.

Please keep the site posted as to your progress.

After doing more research, I found my BS90 Sport oil injected is a 1966.  It was advertised as a 1969 when I bought it, with a 1965 BS90 Trail.  Both 1969's in the add.  After using Graham Weeks serial number ID guide, I figured out what they really are!  Thanks Graham!

That's great mqtsteve, Mr. Weeks serial number ID guide has been a big help to many folks here. It helped me big time getting incorrect information changed on my titles when I went to the DMV to get them re-issued in my name!  ;D
