Hello all,
New to this forum but not new to forums, I hope to follow the rules and I am open to advice, input, whatever, if you dont like it thats fine but dont needlessly hate. I am hoping to document my slow build of my recently acquired 1973 Honda Trail 70.
Starts with a story that started last year and two friends who rebuilt and restored 2 CT70s, I wanted one but ended up with a Honda CL90 instead. Drove to Idaho one afternoon to pick up a blue and red one with a friend and now he owns both.
Mine was the red one here:
Wasnt my fancy so I sold it which brings me to this spring...picked up a '78 Puch Maxi 2 HP moped in good condition last Friday:
Found a guy on craigslist who was selling a Trail 70, called him up and traded the Puch for the CT70! Bike is 95% there, not running and the head and cylinder are off it but look like there are in good shape. Ill get a pick up later tonight when I have some time.
Plans are:
Naked bike look without front fender possibly nothing on rear as well, Lifan 125CC 4 up engine swap, new harness, cables, red rims, white walls, satin black paint, white pinstriping, etc etc. I know I am new to the forum but if you need parts for a bike message me and I can hook you up with the parts I wont be using on the build.
