CT70 out of storage!

[Adam-NLV]

Paint it in the bathroom so you can use the exhaust fan to get rid of the fumes.

, Is that how you do it?

Maybe in N. Las Vegas lol... I painted out back and its a Hot one!

At 2700 Ft this elevation makes the sun really biting, long sleeve shirts... are mandatory. All the construction guys wear long sleeves, the sun sucks, c'mon early Fall!

Come over to Florida. We have some strong breezes for you.

 

[cjpayne]

Oklahoma isnt very hot, but is very humid. Its been awhile but it can get to 117 and get as cold as -25.

 

[Adam-NLV]

Hey CJ, I lived in OK when I was four, LOL
I was at Clinton Sherman AFB in 1965. I was made to take swimming lessons there at age 4! It was cold as hell but I've swam ever since!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got The hub on!
The rear hub ... this one took a little more finesse to get it in Right. I had to sand all paint off the sprocket Hub where it connects and even a slight bit of aluminum. Mounted once, took apart,sanded some more, sanded aluminum finely and now it fits perfect! I didn't want to force it, that's all i need is to break the AL.

So now I just need to bolt it on the CT70 and I'm ready to cruise! Gonna wait till the sun falls a little more, garage is kinda a sauna now.
Here's some pics!!!

Woah. Get the correct nuts and bolts. Hint how’s your ribs !!!

 

[Adam-NLV]

So we have a small monsoon storm that's blowing through, kinda makes it muggy and Hot! Oh wellWill wait for the morning to cruise, should be nice after this weather blows through. At least I got some Sun Tea outta of it!

 

[Adam-NLV]

Woah. Get the correct nuts and bolts. Hint how’s your ribs !!!

It was only one rib! The Left 6th and its healed now, Gonna shoot the old tires in the desert lolTHat's just a joke
But Yeah the bolt set could of fit better but it should be ok, we will see manyana~
Holy shit lightning & thunder!
Hope the lights dont go out!

They look like they will loosen up in no time. Did you tighten them to the recommended torque? Cmon man, the bolts look ghetto dude.
Call CHP and get the right parts.

 

[Adam-NLV]

Torquing them would only scratch the Rim's paint and that's a no no.

Check out the Desert storm!

I just found the old bolt set, the nuts will fit and they are a bigger than the HDepot ones. As far as the bolt, i can cut the excess off, should be Ok. Haven't even got my vise set up yet, can't wait to set up my shop..properly.

 

[Deoodles]

Now you’re cooking with gas. Glad you found them

 

[Adam-NLV]

If the freakin weather cooperates, might be able to take a quick ride. Woke up to rain, monsoon season is in play. Also known as flash flood season, it comes & goes but the heat & humidity stays.yuck, hate humidity.

 

[Adam-NLV]

So i cut all the bolts and used stock nuts.

I'm ready to set the 72cc Land SpEEd Record


I used my trusty WEN rotary tool with carbon wheel. Gotta say, that carbon wheel is great, stayed in tact, the bolts didn't.

Use welding gloves cause there will be sparks!

 

[OLD CT]

Great job steering away from the ghetto. Now you are cooking with electric.

 

[Adam-NLV]

Any Idea what I should torque the Hub bolts down to? This being an all aluminum hub & wheel now....

 

[OLD CT]

Yea Adam they are aluminum, but those China aluminum rims are almost as heavy as steel. Bet they weigh more than the stock setup.
Dontcha know...
The torque is ''good and tight''! Stop dilly dallying. Let's see the pics already. Ha Ha!

 

[Adam-NLV]

Just got the weather report and all systems go on Sat before noon!
I will forgo the traditional champaign breaking ceremony and marching band & poss strippers because i feel the need for speed goose! but will do manyana morn.

 

[Adam-NLV]

Ok, Boys & Girls from around the world! THe Rims are installed and its a cruiser!

Its a tight fit for sure but it spins Great! I went around the clubhouse and will cruise it some more. Tomorrow all the construction dudes aren't working so Ill have the place all to myself and will do a speed run.

35mph was the fastest speed today, believe me it had some more in the tank, I bet i may get 45mph on a long straight way.

As far as the handling; it has a flickability now that wasn't there with the ten inch tires. It feels faster than the Ten inch Trail tires.These are a great street improvement, they do make the bike an inch taller tho.Gonna do some more cruisin....

 

[OLD CT]

Looks like the same distance ''on the stand'' from the ground to the tire in the old and new photos, you must be smoking some good . I'm celebrating with a BIG Budweiser... It looks good Adam.

 

[Adam-NLV]

Thanks and Cheers OC! It was kinda the long way to get it done!lol But I learned a lot about these tubeless rims & tires and I can say i'm a big fan!
I found the Flat bolt for the shock so i can put that last side on, and this bike fits in the house, so i can avoid the sweat fest in garage.

Check it out; The bolt from the blinker control vibrated off and the mirror flopped down when I was out cruising,
so now I need that bolt and the chain guard bolt that fell off too Lol, I'm sure i have spares somewhere....found the right side mirror, gonna get that on there too.
Vermont done cashed my check I sent Aug 30th so the Registration should be here this week! Cool Beans

Leo doesn't seem to mind!
