SpecialEd Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, all-- I'm a newbie rider eagerly awaiting the completion of my vintage 1970 CT70HK0 Honda restomod project which, by the way, is costing me fairly big dollars: new, larger 110cc Honda Nice engine, oil-damped triple tree with inverted forks and disc brakes, "real" rear shocks, 12-volt CDI, LED lighting, 65+ mph capability, and much more. Any of you who have memories of the CT70 during your high school years will understand my love for this bike! Back in the day, I could never afford one, but now it's my turn . . . This build has been in the works for two years, and is slated to be done within a couple of weeks; I am more than ready to take a rider course and hit the streets! I am a high school English teacher, and am eager to participate in this forum. Are there any other CT70 street riders out there in our home state?

max power Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 An old friend of mine has a CT 70 sitting in the spare bedroom in excellent condition. I hear he’s into pills big time these days. I should probably see if he wants to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialEd Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Will post photos once the bike is finished. I have an expert CT builder in Detroit doing the job. This project is supposed to be completed in July. For those of you who care, here is a photo of what it will look like. The pictured bike is a finished product from the same guy who's building mine. My CT will be Victory red with lots of shiny metal componentry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) You’re gonna get the fever and have to go buy a real streetbike. Careful, this hobby is addictive and expensive. Edited June 29, 2018 by max power 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
