What are the most appropriate tires to put on a 1970 CT 70 restoration? Or rather what would have been OEM for this model? Thanks!

Hornet, I do not believe the bike to have been painted, and if it was it was done well. There are no signs of overspray or hidden colors under parts or scratches. I think it is just an antiqued version of the factory candy blue green from that year. Perhaps you know better? Also the photos...

Hey guys, Looking for some thoughts and opinions. I just picked up this 1970 H model last night. The #'s on it are all correct and matching, and it runs. Seems someone did a top end on it recently, and I got all the parts missing in the photos. Paid $500 (too much?) What do you think...

Found a local buyer and this bike is SOLD, gone, 4/19/2011 ...Thanks for looking Hello, I have decided to sell my bike and begin another project. The bike for sale is a 1972 Honda CT70 K1 in Special Candy Yellow color. The bike is in good shape, and runs fantastic. It is unrestored and...

Bad timing can also cause many problems that you may believe to be carb related. Biggest improvements for a running bike are timing related....

Damnnnnn! I want an orange one so bad now!

Wow, This sure is heated for stuff you can find out with a Clymer's manual....

Guys, I am close enough to Phila. and offered the seller $600 for the Green one. I doubt he'll take that offer and I'll be outbid, but will let you know...too good to be true?!?!

Hi all, I have been having real strange electrical demons on my K1. Lights that work intermittently, dim, burn up bulbs, etc. Also my horn does not work. I have a new battery and recently installed a new rectifier however am still having issues! Anyone else have experience with these type...

I would do a "roll out". Start with your valve stem at exactly 6 o'clock position and mark that spot on your floor. Roll the bike forward so the wheel goes 1 full and precise revolution, then mark that spot on your floor. Measure in MM, inches, CM, the distance between your 2 marks. May be more...

Its like you said, beside the obvious... If when you take your wheel/brake cover plate off and the bearing falls right out, then it is no good!! The bearings should take a punch and hammer to knock out from the opposite side. When they are in there as they should be it may even take a little...

I wanted to share a technique, for problems with loose fitting cartridge bearings, that I have learned through my years as a bicycle mechanic. Technically it is known as knurling. When you have a press fit cartridge bearing that is no longer "press fit" due to wear and or poor tolerances you...

Thanks to all who chimed in. I have the rectifier on the way and am optimistic it will cure my ills. Will keep you posted...

CT70 K1 as i got her... Only had this bike about 2 months. This is how she was when I got her. Getting better every day. I'll keep you posted. Got a bad case of this hobby! Happy New Year! Kevin

on the 1972 CT70 the fork spring covers were metal "cans" rather than rubber boots. I would love to get my hands on a set of stock "Special Candy Yellow" ones, in good shape but might consider any I could take. See attached picture. Thanks, Kevin

Happy new year to all, My CT70K1 has some real strange electrical demons. Lights that sometimes work, sometimes not. Quickly burned out bulbs. Dimming, you get the idea. I of course felt like these intermittent issues would be caused by a ground short, or bare wire rubbing, but have yet...

Fuddrucker57, I'd be interested to know what the carb kit that your reputable engine builder suggests. CAn you provide his info?
