    Hi Jonathan. A 88cc upgrade to your original engine is a VERY common modification. It's not too difficult to do yourself...if you are at all interested in taking it on...we can help.
    Otherwise, you could contact a engine builder to install the, 88cc big bore kit for you...or to maybe sell you a complete engine.

    The OTHER option is to install a aftermarket engine.
    I'll find the link for you...

    Here it is.

    Lifan engine swap - start to finish

    All the parts installed totaled $450. I would have swapped sprockets, if I had them. Bike does high 40’s mph with current setup. A 16/33 combo would push closer to 55mph. I chose to stay stock exhaust, but something free flowing would also increase performance. Sorry, this is a long video.

    Hello Kirby,

    I should know this but whatever became of "Bob - RacerX"? I never see him post anything anymore.

    Many thanks,

    I have been away for a few years as well but am back and here to stay for a while. Sent a few PMs but no responses from any of them so far.

    Any update on Bob? I thought he was a mod here? Does someone have his phone number?

    Hey Kirrbby,, do you have any idea what those sl70 headlight ears are worth? I’ve had them so long I don’t remember what I paid or how much I paid to get the one set rechromed…honestly I think the rechromed set look better than the nos set…. I know there getting harder and harder to find.. good thing is I have 2 sets of the nos….

    Hello, was wondering if you still had a lot of parts for sale? If so do you happen to have any ST90 Parts?

    Hey Kirrbby I bought some motors off you a while back. I live down in Toledo and was wondering if you might have a HKO frame kicking around? I have one that has a rot spot in it. Hope all is well? Thank you

    Hi kirrbby you seem to know a lot about clones. Please give me your honest opinion on my 03 jenching trail 70 buy. It has 26 original miles on it and looks like new I paid 400.00 for it someone offered me 1000.00 I’m going to keep it what I’ve read the Honda CT70 group seems to think that this was one of the better clones you’re comment please. Thx Anthony. .

    Hi Anthony.
    I really don't know much about the clone bikes, other than what I've read and seen here over the years. But, I do know that you did verry well buying that one for 400. You can get that bike up and running, then just ride it, making repairs and improvements as the need arises...same as with ANY bike.
    Welcome to the addiction. But be careful, little Honda's seem to multiply.

    Thank you kirrbby. I'm new and trying to figure out this website how to like a post and other stuff like that. How do I post something for everyone to see? An idea about an experiment for example

    Hey Kirrbby - Sorry to bother, but I wanted some wisdom from a fellow Honda lover and I see your Buddha and figured... THIS is the guy with wisdom and knowledge! Running into some financial issues.. where would you price my 1991 CT70 with 540 original miles.. and it IS like new.... ANY response and guidance - much appreciated... Thanks- Rick in PA

    Is it normal for a condenser to have continuity from the outside case to the center pole when installed and the points are closed? Mine is new but maybe I overheated it? With both coils and the points wire installed, I get continuity from the condenser case to the center of it.
    kirrbby
    kirrbby
    Yes it is. When the points close, it connects the points wire, that goes to the condenser, to ground.

    Thanks! You've been very helpful through this 2-year project! In a panic for an event this weekend (can’t take chances) I ordered an entire stator rebuild kit. Expensive, and likely unnecessary, but the wiring on my coils and harness pigtail were in very rough shape. Multiple bare wire spots. Likely repairable but for $45, an acceptable piece of mind. Sad thing, I now have a spare condenser, points....and coils. :)

    Hi Kirrbby, I received the eBay stuff. Thanks!
    I am wondering if you have any H K1 engines or numbers side cases? I'm looking for a 203284 or something close.
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
    George

    Kirb, I just picked up a 1970 CT70 that needs some attention and I really don't know where to start, do you recommend getting a repair manual? I was told it ran a couple years ago but it definitely looks like it has some wiring issues.
