Thread: '74 CT70 - Just finished restoring

I originally bought a '70 CT70 K0 expecting to do a complete restoration on it over the winter, but my focus got shifted when I came across a K3 with less than 300 miles on it. Being somewhat lazy, and wanting a bike to actually ride, I decided to do a “quick” 6 week restoration. This is my first restoration project so I thought a bike with low miles would be the perfect candidate. My reason being the bike didn’t have time to be tampered with and every nut and bolt would be in its proper place. I started in the beginning of Jan. and completed the project 6 weeks later in Febuary. The bike is all original except for new oem fenders and fork boots, plus new paint and decals.

please post ip some big pics if you have them. Looks alot nicer than mine with 300 miles versus over 3000 on mine lol. very nice ct70

Some pics

Looks Great! Very Nice!

Looks amazing! If you could find a good set of turn signals, it would be perfect. That's a K3 without the rear brake cable and hand lever, huh? You don't see many of those around. I love the paint too!

I have the turn signals, they just need to be cleaned up. I love the looks of the older bikes without them so I never put them on. After your replay however, I am reconsidering.

i'm a nube myself, but i thought if they came with them on there in order to street be street approved, they need to be. Nice looking ride, thats for sure!

Nice looking bike and i'll agree with you that they look better without them.

I'm with you. If ya' don't need 'em, leave 'em! I much prefer the clean, uncluttered look of no blink-blinks. And I would venture over to your garden variety Lowe's/Home Depot and get some rubber plugs for the blink-blink holes...

Thanks for the tip.
