Headlight Bucket | Honda CT90 / Trail 90 (K2 & Up)

OEM Headlight Bucket | Honda CT90 / Trail 90 (K2 & Up)

Factory replacement headlight bucket for the Honda CT90 / Trail 90 — genuine Honda, made in Japan. Restores or replaces a cracked, faded, or missing bucket with the correct OEM part.

Why You Need This

This flat black plastic headlight bucket is the Honda factory replacement for CT90 K2 and later models. It includes a mounting bolt hardware kit for easy installation. You can also mount this bucket using our front turn signal stems to add turn signals to Trail 90 models that do not have the specialty handlebars with built-in turn signal mounts.

Note: This headlight bucket is designed for speedometers with a trip odometer. Early CT90 K2–K5 models did not include trip meters, so the bucket was solid on the left side. Models without a trip meter will require the trip meter plug add-on (available as a checkbox option on this page) to fill the opening. The CT90 K4 is believed to be the first year with a trip meter speedometer, but fitment can vary — confirm your bike's speedometer style before ordering.

Specifications

Does NOT fit: CT90 K0–K1 models, which used unique speedometers and a different headlight bucket.

Installation

Difficulty: Beginner

1. Mount the bucket using the included bolts and nuts. If you have the OEM Honda specialty square nuts from the original bucket, reuse them — they locate inside the new bucket and let you tighten bolts from the outside only.
2. Place one flat washer on the outside of the bucket between the bolt head and headlight ear. Place one flat washer and one split washer inside the bucket before threading the nut.
3. If using the trip meter plug add-on, notch the bottom skirt of the speedometer gasket to accommodate the plug so the speedometer can slide in easily. See our product photos for reference.
4. Press the speedometer into the bucket until the two large attached clips expand and lock it in place.
5. Adjust headlight aim before riding — loosen the mounting bolts to change the vertical angle.

We recommend using anti-seize compound on the mounting bolts and lens retaining bolt to prevent seizing over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my CT90 K0 or K1?

No — the K0 and K1 used unique speedometers and a different headlight bucket. This bucket fits K2 and later models only.

Do I need the trip meter plug?

Only if your CT90 has a speedometer without a trip odometer. The bucket has an opening on the left side for the trip meter reset knob. If your speedometer does not have a trip meter, the plug fills that hole. The K4 is believed to be the first year with a trip meter, but it varies — check your speedometer before ordering.

Can I add turn signals to my Trail 90 using this bucket?

Yes — mount the bucket using our front turn signal stems instead of the included bolts. The stems thread into the same mounting holes and give you a place to mount turn signals on Trail 90 models without the specialty signal handlebars.

Does this come with the headlight lens?

No — the bucket and lens are sold separately. Our Headlight Lens, Bulb & Trim Ring Kit fits this bucket and includes a replaceable 6V bulb with pre-wired socket.
