I was a victim as well with the same response.

Awesome! thanks very much for the knowledge and help!!

Makes no difference to me at all. I dont mind if its used; just want it to work.

I need some help from the gurus. Sourcing a signal switch for a 76' is a migraine... Can anyone tell me if the 77-78 year CT70 signal switch will work with a 76'? 77-78 was Honda Part Number:35200-102-772 with the stamp of HM-11QB-T under the LH/RH switch button. The 1976 signal switch was...

Hi All, Im in desperate need! Ive been tracing back for a while and found that the signal switch on my 76' must have a short it in. I even took it a part and cleaned everything and still have a short in the switch. Is there a possibility that anyone may have a spare or unused switch laying...

Heres the best review i could find where you could also see the inside of the extractor. Depending on how close to the head they broke off, i would definitely give it a shot. If you are flush to the head, then theres nothing to grip. If theres enough there to put vice grips on, than the stud...

thanks @kirrbby! Patience goes a long way, and honestly that extractor tool worked flawless!

Thanks Racer! I actually used my Dremel to cut through the side of the collar in a few spots; than a few hits with a chisel took it out. I tried cleaning the surgical nicks, but may have to go back over them. Would the nick, the way it is, cause any type of issue or it is merely cosmet...

Hey all! Just wanted to update, after 4 hours I was able to get the rest of the exhaust collar out. I cleaned the exhaust port as much as possible. I also used the stud extractor to remove the studs. I would recommend the stud extractor to anyone that has to remove them, it was worth its...

Also, can someone provide details on if everything inside the read should be removed? I am going to try and remove the broken exhaust from the head using PB Blaster, possibly heat, and i also read some guidance to use a chisel to help remove the broken piece.

Would it make more sense at this point to try and source a new cylinder head?

Darn it. I didn’t want to here that. Is this something that could be repaired or fixed by myself? I’m quite handy, and tend to think I may be able to fix it.

hi all! I noticed last week a strange noise; which led to an exhaust leak right at the manifold. Today I went to take the exhaust off, and even with days of PB Blaster, the nuts snapped at the exhaust studs. I the exhaust basically fell off the manifold. Looking in the exhaust hole, it almost...

...there is hope lol

ok. ordered the OEM gasket, i was using gasket maker to make my own. Ill also try a larger bolt; 25mm/30mm when the gasket comes in. I could not feel a leak by hand when the bike was running, so hopefully the bolt not tightening is causing a vacuum effect and that is the root to all this lol
