Looks good ,,glad you could make something work out of it.. I would go black as well..

Got 9 flawless miles on it so far..so far all is good..

Look up Burbank plating..you want silver or clear cad not zink.

As a transmission rebuilder for near 40 years I can say “Knipex“ makes the best snap ring pliers no question..just buy the right size that close or squeeze not open the ring..

Haha,,I stripped it and repainted it..that wouldn’t have been a bad idea but during that time in my ct70 career I was painting everything non candy colors as well as mixing up frame and engine numbers!!!

I had a red frame that most have sat outside leaning against a house for a long period…one side was near perfect the other side was faded to near all silver.. I should have took a pic of that!

Yes I’m 99% sure that is it…thanks for unlocking the mystery!!

there yours for free,,,just pay shipping. These were thrown in with the $2300 shed find bikes an parts i bought if you remember..I’ve literally tripped on them several times over the years so I’ll be glad to see them go! Lol Just post your good work so we can see how they turn out…could they...

Gotcha,,, if your going to try to make something I have this that might be a good starting point..it’s Honda but I have no idea what its for? Maybe an old passport?

Great job and looks amazing! Are the turn signals on those year models round or square?

I ditto everything Kirrbby said!!! Great work and great thinking!!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments,, I really like this color,, the weather here now is perfect riding weather so I plan on getting some miles on it,, for airblazers question ,,, whatever miles I put on it will be present at the show… it’s way too much work to pull the speedo and disassemble...

Well it’s finally done and all back in one piece.. got it all juiced up and it started on the second kick ,, motor is quite with no smoke runs and shifts perfect..50+year old rebuilt carb needed no adjustments!!! ,,,,,the chain guard on it now is a 50+ year old original Honda piece rather then...

Good one to save!! That things going to look great!!! Keep the pics coming…
