Newbie here, first CT70

[tgabby]

Just picked up my 1st CT70. Always wanted one when I was a kid. It has a Silver tag on the neck. From what I can tell it's still mostly original except speedometer and headlight housing.

Titled as a 1970.
Candy Gold
Frame # 104974
Engine # 104863
Mileage unknown, it has a 4sp speedometer on it.

Nice score. Check your rear brake pads ASAP. They look extremely worn, or the actuator arm is installed in the wrong position.

Nice catch! Got new shoes and cables. Also replacing wheel bearings.

Someone changed the original silvertag exhaust to the newer oem K0 style. They rust out from the corrosive Honda packing for the front section muffler shield. Nice original seat.

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize that. The seat is not that nice, it is ripped and has tape on it. I put a new one on from CHP.

Hang on to it. It's special to the ST bike. Tool holder is bolted on.

Was the CHP a good quality seat?
