Bob...didn't the Honda Trail 90 have dual sprockets on the rear?  Did you
try it with the smaller sprocket?  I know it was 30 years ago, but i
remember that bike.  The gas tank was under the seat, wasn't it.  I had a
Suzuki 120 c.c. about the same vintage...it had dual sprockets, too...and
we'd use the small sprocket for late-night phantom runs on the public roads
and down main street with it WFO the whole time.   Not much to do in that
sleepy little town when you were 14.
