1971 CL70 Project..... 117cc.
Hey Guys and Gals!
I've been itching to do a small cc bike for a while now and finally found the right bike. I picked up this mostly complete '71 CL70 yesterday. The engine is free and has good compression and it came with a small box of spares.
I plan on polishing up the frame and fenders. I'll clean the inside of the tank, but I want to clear coat it just like it sits. Some fresh rubber, etc.
The big plan is to swap in one of the Honda clone pit bike engines. I'm undecided at this point between the Lifan 125 and one of the Piranha 150-160cc engines. Any advice you can offer I much appreciated.
