CT-70 WHY is it? Who has one of THESE parts?

#1
This is Ricks CT-70.. It's a 12-69 build date and pretty sure it's the 4 speed model.. The thing I have never seen is this intake manifold with cooling fins.. Who has one or knows why it is like that? Only one I have ever seen....

Not a 4 speed model they were not available at that time on the Trail 70, Late 1970-73 you could get the 4spds. They were only ran for three years here in the USA with four speeds and all other's were three speeds if there still original and the frame numbers will tell you if it is the a true four speed. Looking at the pictures its a three speed bike. and is that the one you hack the neck off of.

I got one of those manifolds in a carb kit for my z50. they were offered by my Honda dealer in 1969, they were manufactured by Webco.

looks like it offsets the carb to the left for clearance or is that just my imagination? cool lookin' intake, I'll have to keep my eye out for one for my '69 K1 :thumbsup:

Yes it does tip it to the side some... Yes, this is the bike that go it's head cut off. :hang: I still have the ID badge sitting here on my computer tower and it's a Niiiiice one. :thumbsup:
..Soo you guys are saying it is an aftermarket or special option piece from Honda to ad a large carb, AND cool your fuel supply some.. 1969 Honda Intercooler. :thumsbup... I heard the 4 speeds had a spark advance on the flywheel and I was thinking this bike had that... It may have been the other..

Four speeds did have spark advance. Three speeds auto's did not.
You can buy new intakes that turn out to the left and they make adjustible ones also. They are not as fancy with the cooling fins. I have several for my Trail 70's with the 85cc-110cc Lifans engines on them that I run 20mm kihein clone carbs on. And they also work on the originals Honda's
