thx for the help...up and running, lights and all

I've put it all back together and now have one extra wire (gray, from the horn button). So, not only do I have an extra wire that I don't know what to do with, my headlight and odo lights don't work either. Am looking for a wiring dia. Anybody have one out there? thx

ha...thnks to all...especially for the positive vote of confidence in diagnosing the problem. turns out it was a newbie move. forks on wrong side. i have been so focused on just getting it back together, without any of my own pics, that i managed to overlook the obvious and i just tossed it...

thanks, I'll take a look. it must be very small. I didn't see anything when I put it back together.

recent restoration on '72 CT. Now, my front axle will turn along with the wheel when I apply the brakes, up to the point of pinching the brake and odometer cables. I've torqued the axle nut about as much as I think it can stand. any suggestions on how to stop the rotation?

could do, but once I withdraw the bolt from the shock to re-install the honda o'ringed bolt, it'll shrink back due to the coil spring action. any thoughts?

front forks was wondering if you could share with me any tips on how to get the front forks reattached to the steering plate. I can't seem to compress them enough to attach the upper bolt any longer. They're about 1" shy of the hole in the upper plate that the handlebars attach to. PS: nice...

Joe, Your pictures are outstanding. I'm right in the middle of putting my CT70 back together and would like to have access to your pictures but I don't know how to download them for a print. Do you know how to do that or could you make a file available for me to use. thanks, Durad

does anyone know how to remove/replace the shock cover on the rear shocks of a K1 without scratching it all up?

shock q joe, can you give me a tip on how to handle the shock spring loading to get the freshly painted shock cover onto it without screwing it up!!?
