    2nd battery

    I have plenty of old coils to experiment with, I may just try to make a 12 volt coil after I experiment with the two battery idea.

    2nd battery

    If i were able to cram a second battery in my ct70 and used the yellow wire feeding the headlight with a rectifier to charge it, would I be able to power the headlight this way?

    fork tube swap

    I was wondering if the inner fork tubes from a 72 ct70 can be swapped to a 74 ct70. Mine are pitted on the 74 and need changed. I know the lower parts are different on the 72 because of the metal cover but I want to use the ones that came with the 74.

    st 90 forks

    Will forks from a st90 be a direct swap to a 1974 ct 70? Are the axle diameters the same? Also if I swap them out will the fork ears still fit? Sorry for all the questions.

    K3 Handle Bar Question

    I am not a expert on this but I think either the clocking or the bends of earlier bars will not work on a 74. I have 2 early 74's and they both have the brake handles. I would try the bar on the bike before cutting off the perch. Also if done right I don't think the structural integrity would be...

    headlight wattage

    Thank you Adam-NLV for the quick answer. So since that's not going to work I have a couple of other questions. Can I use a higher wattage incandescent bulb, say a 35 35 watt and can I install a SLA battery with a larger amp hr?

    headlight wattage

    Is it possible to use a 6 volt 35 watt halogen bulb in place of the standard 6 volt sealed beam? Will this throw the electrical system out of balance and would the battery be able to handle it? The halogen bulb is a 35 watt high and low beam.

    K1 front fork disassembly help needed

    That screw is not the answer to taking the forks apart, as a matter of fact I do believe I read that it will cause a leak that is hard to stop. Look at the top of the lower leg and you will see a snap ring above the seal. Remove the snap ring and take a block of wood and place it on the lip...

    Handlebar Differences

    I thank you both for your answers and I have another question. The replacement bars on Dratv and Chp state that they only fit up to a K2. I inquired about these bars and was told they would not work on my K3 because of a different angle of the bars. Which angle are the referring to? I have an...

    Handlebar Differences

    Could someone please tell me the difference between handlebars for a k2 and a k3 CT70? Could they be interchanged as a set if there are differences? Modified to fit?

    73 K2 Restoration Help

    I had the same problem with the broken bolts in the handlebars. Here is what I did. If you look on the bar you will see a weld spot that holds in the part that has the threads. I drilled the weld out slightly bigger than the diameter of the weld or you could grind it out. You can then use a...

    First let me say I am a long time reader of this site but this is my first post. I haven't had to post because all my questions were found by searching up until now. I am working on restoring a k3 and would like to know what kind of wear tolerance is there between the cam and the journals in the...
