Some tear down pics, didn't do a lot to it, replaced the front fork boots, coil, rear shocks, tail light, replaced the metal gas tank with a plastic one also redone the wheels with cloud silver and new bridgestone trail wing tires..... also changed out the front and rear fenders.....

Mighty fine collection! Looks like you have 1 or 4 of every model year. 😄

I have in the collection so far at least 1 of every year and every color from 1969-1985 and 1991-1994... missing is the 1986 model..... My Favorite the 1977 models there are 7 of them, 2 are just rider bikes and 5 that made it to the Bike Room...

Very cool. The 86 is RARE one for sure. You're a Wizard though, shouldn't you just be able to make an 86 model magically appear in both our garages??? But I'd settle for a even a rear turn signal bar for an 83! 😉😁

The 86 is a rare one for sure, I haven't seen any for sale. I would like to find a nice White Lady Dax too. it seems the wizard's magic is broken at the moment.

I'm watching all the time for an 86 to pop somewhere in Canada, but few and far between. The last one I seen was in Quebec, and the guy wasn't very prompt or willing to even reply to my questions. It was pretty clean and original looking, and it wasn't outrageous money. Unfortunately I couldn't commit to making the 10hr drive at the time.

That, is SUPER impressive!! My hat is off to you, sir.
I believe you have the best CT70 collection that I've ever heard of.
I do remember you posting about it once before...discussing humidity level in your bike barn maybe..? Did you get that cured?

That would have been a long trip for a little Ct70. When I bought this 1974 model it was only 2 houses below me and I didn't even know it was there I was asking some guys where I could find any Honda CT70's and one pointed to a small building and said there is one in that building they might sell it. you never know what you might find or where.

Some time when I have 4 or 5hrs to spare...I'll try to make a list/count of just how MANY bikes that would be...every year and color. It must be more than 12...lol.
I think this is the thread that I was remembering..
How To Prevent Condensation Sweating & Maybe Mold On Little Bikes..
where its cold at night then hot thru out the day which leaves these little bikes in storage sheds that's not heated or cooled sweating and then starts to put a black like mold on the bikes, starts with the engines and wheels then onto the frame little black dots etc....anybody else have this...

Awesome tho...for sure.
