Hello, I have not started a build thread for a while but here we go. A buddy of mine dragged home a deer camp " haul the dead deer out" 1984 Monza Red (I think) CT 110 barn find bike and wants me to get it running - I've never done a Honda bike so new so IDK . Ran from 1984 until 1994 but...

Hello, My wife and I have been here for nearly a week and I've never seen so many Monkey and Grom bikes in one place. They displace your typical Harley Davidson rides easily five to one and just generally, there's a lot of these small Honda bikes around here. And people are having an...

Hello, Work on my 70 Chevy El Camino has kept the mechanical and riding portions of my brain occupied for the last three years. Now that the EC has reached mechanical and street legal stability, I can get back to my mini's. I recently bought a six volt battery and installed it today...

Hello, It's that time of year again. The Texas Tiddler Run at the Boles Field Campground on May 20th 2017 near Shelbyville, TX is back. This is an all day event on that Saturday but there is plenty of room to camp the night before if you would like. I spoke with Dennis Leggett (the...

Hello, After a year of looking, a CL100 luggage rack showed up using the "Followed Search" technique on EBay. It was a little rusty . . . no, a lot rusty but complete and straight. And I only paid $40 USD Buy It Now with free shipping which is an absolutely amazing price. All of the...

Hello, This is the second annual Texas Tiddler Run after the success last year of the first event. The only big change this year is the loss of a bike class above 250 CC's and it does not appear that these larger bikes can run in the non-competitive class. I need to call Dennis and see...

Hello, From the 70's, the top ten list of the best TV motorcycle commercials. But I warn you that some of these songs will get stuck in your head for the rest of your day. Rick...

Hello, Some long forgotten previous owner applied some Red Kote to the inside of my Aermacchi fuel tank. Now I have a badly applied red coat of Red Kote that I need to remove to make way for a better application of POR 15. Some of the Red Kote is coming off but overall, not much. It seems...

Hello, A buddy of mine in the CT90 Yahoo Group is fixin' up a CT70 for somebody and he cannot figure out how #9 in the link below mounts. http://www.westernhonda.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=2570338&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1970&fveh=133040 It's listed as a brake arm...

Hello, My next project is on the HaulBikes.Com truck slowly heading its way from San Jose, California to Louisiana - it got picked up on Friday. I had been looking for something bigger and a little more oddball and ran across an Aermacchi SX175 and an X-90 last spring over in Jefferson...

Hello, My oldest son and I are about to go into test production on my first 3D printed minibike part using his recently purchased "FlashForge" 3D printer. It will be the manifold spacer that is required to make a PZ19 carb that is shorter from front to back reach the air cleaner. I've...

Hello, Not really grim, just what I considered to be a lack of performance. I took a test drive today on a yellow 2015 Grom and the best it would do on flat ground, not much wind and my 183 pounds aboard was 52 mph indicated. The bike had 17 miles on it so it's definitely not broken in...

Hello, It was a great ride though I did get rained on for about fifteen minutes but I was dry again in about the same time. Twenty three people entered and twenty one people completed the run – sixteen were pre-registered. Several bikes fell out within the first five miles but a few people...

Hello, There will be a 200 mile endurance run beginning at 8 am Saturday morning (16 May 2015). It begins at the Boles Field Recreational Area in the Sabine National Forest near Shelbyville, Texas on Farm to Market Road 2694. Its a $30 fee to enter and prizes for the different classes...

Hello, I have seen and have ridden this bike. It belongs to a friend of mine that has been the host of the CT90/110 Tech Weekend for many years. Great bike that is roughly half CT70 and half ST90 with a Lifan 140 thrown in for good measure. I'd buy this bike if it was closer. Honda...

Hello, My 72 Candy Yellow CL100 continues to awaken from it's long slumber and I need to start thinking about a few minor cosmetic issues. The bike is mechanically and electrically in good shape and she'll be a roller on new Michelin Gazelle tires later today when I reinstall the front tire...

Hello, First a disclaimer – this is not on a CT70. However, it is on a 1972 Honda CL100 that appears to be electrically identical to an early CT90 except that the CL does not have a run-stop switch like the later CT90 bikes have. And a CT70 could still suffer a similar fate. The...

Hello, My new to me 72 Honda CL 100 has a stuck tail light lens that simply will not come loose from the bracket gasket. I sweated getting the piston to break free and it did after twenty four hours of Kroil soaking with a little reverse twist on the flywheel bolt. The engine even...

Hello, Well . . . I'm in project mode again. Its been a few years since my Mighty Green ST90 returned to the Land of the Living. I did the one hour drive up to Texarkana last night to pick up my CL100. The odometer still works and I still cannot believe that it only has 323.6 miles on it...

Hello, A buddy of mine in town that I did not even know had older bikes just informed me this past weekend that he has two running early 70's Z50 bikes. I will be looking at them soon but he tells me that one has a rusty, leaking tank. My question is how do we deal with the threads that...
