You can get most everything you need at dratv.com and I would check ebay also. Factory turn signals are not available NOS but you will not need those for a 1970 bike. The wiring harness, if it is stock is not set up for turn signals. I know dratv has aftermarket headlight buckets and headlights. The original speedometers you will have to find here (post in the wanted section) or on ebay.

If you check the resource section here, there is a list of vendors that carry parts for the CT70's besides dratv. I find that site very easy to use especially just starting out, lots of pictures,descriptions and diagrams.

What engine is in it? Is it a 12v or 6v set up?

Does it need the entire seat or just a cover?

Post a picture of your new bike.

Just bought CT70 1970

I just bought a CT70 (1970) yesterday. How do i know if it is a K1 K0. etc?

Where is the best place to get parts to restore -

This one needs minor stuff, brakes, front light housing, carb-boot to air cleaner, seat and maybe new HONDA stickers. :monkey:

If it's a 69-70 or 71 it's a KO . 1972 would be a K1 . Dratv.com/ Cyclepartsnation.com and many other places are good for parts .
Good Luck with your project .

nice find, looks like a 12 volt lifan engine. Also, looks like a KO. I have a stock Honda air filter and a battery box you could buy from me, I saw you had a weird air box and no battery box.The air box you could buy from me would make that original Honda, so would the battery box. Congrats and the best of luck to you,

-Zack
