This 1972 Honda CT70H custom left the shop with a new owner this week. Sporting a headlight from the 1971 CT70 K0, alloy wheels, 88cc cylinder and piston, 20mm carb and intake, high flow air filter, oil cooler, temp gauge, and Honda SL70 head and cam, it is quick and fun. It came with a factory 4-speed with hand clutch. This is the second year of the CT70, and the first year for hydraulic forks.
Lots of extra bling, and accessories like stainless steel dual exhaust, ignition key-matched helmet holder, grab bar, rear rack, folding shifter, and chrome engine dress-up kit. The seat is an ST70 model. Tires are Bridgestone from Japan. A smaller rear sprocket and larger counter sprocket are there to take advantage of the additional engine power and provide a higher top speed.
Hand controls and levers are from a 1971 Honda SL70. That silver thing on the left handlebar is a drink holder. CT70’s are popular as pit bikes and at swap meets, and a drink holder comes in handy. The footpegs are from a Z50 K3 model.
Another bike heading out the door with a new owner was this 1975 Honda CL360 seen in past blog posts. Still one of my vintage favorites as far as handling and looks. The Mikuni 30mm carbs make for easy starting and impressive acceleration.
Another bike searching for a new home is this 1971 Honda CT70 seen in past blog posts. Tons of new parts, a 108cc engine, it runs strong and is ready to go. This picture is from the Dentonmoto Movie night and bike showcase, where we had four bikes for sale.
Finished Fabian’s tank and it is now back on his bike, “Morrison.”
A pulley guard made for Jason’s motorized bicycle.
The guard mounted up. When I first test rode the bike, my leg contacted the exposed pulley, prompting this mod.
