[QUOTE="Bandit Bill, post: 68366, member: 1741"] Ok, so it was such a beautiful autumn day, that i just couldn't resist to pull the finished project out again, and give it some exercise. Nice little vanity photo there of ugly old me (get a comb dude!) and my C70 Passport and the finished CT70 (CT140?) Minitrail project. And another... Now we get to the bits and bobbles. The 30mm front end with disc front brakes. The bike has plenty of grip with those Michelin Reggaes, and stops on a dime with five cents change to spare. The headlight on this thing is the previously mentioned 8" headlight assembly that i'd had for a streetfighter project, that i'd been collecting parts for in years past. I turned my street motorcycle into a sidecar rig instead, so it went unused. Brand new Germany spec Halogen 55/55 watt assembly. Perfect for burning the wings off moths at 10 paces. Top down perspective of the bike. The handlebars are 3" over in height and width to match my spider-like proportions. The oil cooler is nice and large, as can be seen. The 'CF' upswept exhaust tucks in quite nicely. Still gotta wear jeans, or you will suffer a nice thigh burn when it's hot. The 'Go' bits. Carburetor is the Mikuni VM26 item. It's not quite carbureting as it should with choke fully off. I'll suss this out next season. The other side of the motor. I machined up a custom bracket for a petcock assembly out of aluminum. The wiring to the headlight shell is run externally rather than through the frame. The previous owner 'frenched' in the wiring loom holes, the ignition hole, and pretty much every other hole he could find to lead-fill and smear body filler on - i couldn't be arsed to undo the wiring loom hole, since the ignition hole was almost bodged beyond repair in undoing what he did. And the rear end of the wee beastie. Me like. The next project in line, a '76 frame and most of the bits to put it together. The black frame is a '78 junker, only really good for parts salvage. The 5 CT70 motors, shelved and awaiting attention for the next project. Hope y'all enjoy the photo-spread. Stay tooned for the next project some day soon. [/QUOTE]
