Hey everyone. I was able to get a few things done today. Here’s my seat latch. And after installed.
New Guy Honda CT70 Build

I got my seat fitted to the hinge and installed. I needed to put it on so that I could fit in my tail light.

Ok so I took the bike off the stand. I needed to install the engine guard and foot peg assembly. I’ll have to admit, this engine guard was rather difficult to install. But I got it. Seemed like all the holes weren’t lining up. I had to assemble everything real loose then tighten it up all at once.

And here is the foot peg assembly. Had to do some serious shimming to get it to fit. When I ordered it, the description said that it was the right assembly for large engines. But it kept hitting on the right side of the engine. I had to shim it about an inch down and cut off a small tab on the right foot peg holder. I’m not sure if this is right or not, but it on there. If anyone has had experience with this, chime in. Thanks

But overall, I’m please with the way it’s shaping up. I got to sit on it today. I can’t wait to ride this thing.

Hey man, I took your advice while I’m waiting on my rear hub assembly to come in. I went ahead and ground the head of this lower shock mount bolt down for clearance. I hope this is enough!!! Thanks

So I’m installing my brake pedal and lever and run into a little trouble.
My pedal is hitting this engine guard.
So I decided just to trim it up a little bit... not sure if I should have.
But it doesn’t hit anymore. I also put a half inch spacer behind the assembly.

Does anyone know a good fix for this. It seems that my right foot peg isn’t far enough away from the motor and kick pedal. Does anyone make about a 3” foot peg extender for this??? BTW... that’s my dog “Toby”. He really likes working on the CT70 too

You could always just fit only genuine honda parts (including the engine) throughout the build and have a trouble free experience cos everything would fit correctly. You'd have no stress, you wouldn't have to do any cutting, shimming or modding and you'd still have a cool bike......... sounds like a plan to me LOL

Alrighty then...I got my front end in from PhatMX today, headlight mount too. Let’s get them installed!!!
The triple clamps went on pretty easy...
And then the fork tube/shocks with headlight mount went on with no trouble.
