I just picked up this 1970 Honda CT90 for FREE from a friend! Runs great. Just needs a few things here and there. Definitely not a show bike but a great runner to the grocery store. The previous owner gave it to me, but I can't let this thing go to me for free. I'm going to rebuild the carb...

Looking for a Z50 AK3 and up - preferably with a bad engine. I'm looking to build a fun street legal bike with a Chinese 70cc or maybe bigger motor. Doesn't need be in the best of shape, just something I can work with. My HK0 CT70 and AK1 Z50 are registered and plated in CA... looking for a...

I figured I'd write a little post about titling and registering a Z50 with no title - just a Bill of Sale - in the state of California. California can be known to be quite "bureaucratic" and impossible to deal with, even though you'd think all they want is your money, because you know, this is...

I second the AvGas option. Every month or so I pull up to my local GA airport and fill up 5 gallon and 2 gallon gas can full of 100LL.

What year is your Beetle?

Beer money is always a good thing to have! You're in Coronado? I'm in San Diego too... University Heights.

Here are some pics I took today.

I'm so excited and I feel like a kid on Christmas Day. I just picked up this 1971 Z50 today. It actually fit into the back seat of my Honda Civic no problem! Now I own 3 Hondas. :) It runs perfect and idles so smooth. It's in original condition with the exception of the rear fender, apparently...

Thanks, Kirrbby! I'll check it out tonight.

I'm ready to install my horn on my '71 CT70H. I can find the ground wire but I can't find the 6v power wire. Where is the wire supposed to be for power into the horn?

Zanella is a motorcycle manufacturer in Argentina that's been around since 1948. I found out about the brand when I went to Argentina a couple of years ago. I went on their website and low and behold there's a CT70 lookalike. It looks like it has HK0 style speedo/headlight assembly and...

Thanks a lot. I'll open it up and check it out.

I'm still learning about how these brakes are set up on the CT70. I appear to have a bent or warped drum on the front brake setup. I haven't opened it up yet to see. Is it the hub that I need to replace or is there a drum liner within the hub that is bent?

I've been running AvGas (100LL) for the past 180 miles on my 1971 CT70H. It's been running great. I just head out to Montgomery Field here in San Diego, drive my car up to where the fuel truck is, and ask the FBO girl to hail the line guys to fill up my 5 gallon gas tank. It's a little bit more...

JATO rockets on a CT70? Awesome!
