[QUOTE="Bandit Bill, post: 76853, member: 1741"] Been a long while since i updated this posting - so this time i'll do it with a few youtube videos. [video=youtube;eTO0zMD1iKU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTO0zMD1iKU[/video] This is of the CT70 that i put together out of mostly cheap chinese parts, last summer/early fall. I found motivation to order a headlight that took replacement bulbs, and changed out the 8" Bandit shell i formerly had on it to the stock headlight shell. The reason why i did this, was that i found inspiration in an '82 CT70 speedometer that i had kicking around. With the large headlight, there simply was no room to mount it. I have only 1 good '76 speedometer in my collection of parts, so i wanted to reserve it for my next project. I fabbed up a custom bracket to mount it on, and threw a horn on the bike to complete. I'm still playing with the idea of reconfiguring this one, in the process of building up my 2nd CT70 out of parts. All dependant on the mix of parts that i order in prep for that project. Time will tell, but for this summer it's good to go. [video=youtube;gwPy9QB0Blg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwPy9QB0Blg[/video] This is the '82 Honda C70 Passport converted now to solo seat version. I have NOT done anything in regard to the motor so far, it's still stock. I'm not going to do anything with the motor this year, except run it. I'll save motor work, for 'down the road', so to speak. It's known as the "Rubber Chicken Special Edition", for fairly obvious reasons. :) As can be seen the swingarm and the tail-light bracket are off-color - I didn't realize that the paint on the replacement swingarm was so badly mis-matched until i got it out in the sunshine - but the bike passes the 10 Foot Rule for appearance, so it's ok at this time. Mebbie next winter i'll take it off and try again. The exhaust is quieter now, than in the video. The other day i fabbed up an insert for the exhaust from billet aluminium, to reduce the exhaust outlet diameter. It also took care of some of my carburetion issues in the process. Hope to have this one on the road before summer's end. Still can't ride after surgery in December, but good things come to those who wait. [video=youtube;H4H2ePL7Zg8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4H2ePL7Zg8[/video] And finally, a 360 view of my 'lil Honda collection as it stands on 2 wheels, for now. Good times. Sorry for the jerkyness of the video - i was hobbling about with a gimpy leg and no cane :( . [/QUOTE]
