1974 CT70 K3 Original Candy Riviera Blue
VIN# CT70-2302390
ENG# CT70E-2302133
Mileage 7338
Build Date 6/73
My brother and I bought it used around 1979/80 and proceeded to beat it up. First order of business was to remove the uncool turn signals. I still have them, thankfully, although one housing is broken. It's mostly complete but the exhaust needs replacing, the thumb sliders on the bar switches are broken off, seat is trash and the bars are a little bent. Headlight ears broke off so being some enterprising teenagers in shop class, we made new brackets. I have a half decent replacement set I picked up a few years ago. Last ran in 1984 when I noticed the casting where one of the rocker arm pins sat was cracked. High miles, so I'll definitely be doing a full rebuild on the engine.
