Ten years ago I bought a wrecked CB400-F to get the engine and he threw in this 1972 CT-70 for free. It's been sitting in my storage shed ever since, patiently waiting for me to get around to it. It ran when I picked it up ten years ago so it should't be too difficult to get it running again.
It's missing a lot of parts so the first thing I have to do is collect those I need to get it functional. The kick starter is welded to the kick starter shaft so I'm guessing the splines are buggered on the shaft or the kick start lever. It doesn't have a key, but it started alright when I took it. Do they run without a good battery? I've collected a new seat and the air cleaner parts, but I'll need a lot of others to make it usable. I haven't decided if I want to leave it looking like it is, but mechanically sound, or strip it and make it showroom new.
Thanks for looking, I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions down the road.
