No wonder this S90 project was so cheap to acquire. There was a title, but the motor arrived as a box of rusty bits. I was fine with this, but I noticed a few months ago that the exhaust mount was sawn off. Not only was it gone, it looks like somebody drilled a bunch of holes to make the cut. (Also, the battery cage was all cut up, but I'll get to that later.) The things people do to these old bikes...
Anyway, I found the right piece of the frame on the Ebay. It was nice not having to get a full frame shipped. Also, I verified that the single-hole muffler mount was the right one via this site, which is the best resource for all the weird/stupid changes the S90 went through over its life cycle.
In order to make sure I weld it up in the correct place, I made a jig out of two pieces of angle iron. Once I weld them together, I'll have the alignment triangulated for these three points: swingarm hole, centerstand hole, and exhaust hole.
