I have a 1974 honda trail 70 and have no chain...Now I want to go get a length of chain and master link to make my own does anyone know what size of chain to get??

Hi folks

I know that a lot of factors come into play, but I was just wondering
how some went about it and what results were had.I have a daughter who will be 10 yrs old come spring, and a son who will be 8 years old come spring. I am itching to let them go ( don't want to be killed by the wife though) but if they fall, they may not want to get back on for a while.
My sons feet don't get anywhere near the ground, so I guess that would be the first pre-requisite eh.

Did everyone see the gold KO that ended for $3150.00 on the Bay.Appeared to be a really clean bike, but i was surprised to see it bring that much with the 1400 miles on it.
Hopefully prices keep rising.:41:

Hi

Got a great deal this week and couldn't pass it up. Bike is in great shape and starts on the first kick. Problem is that the bike will run with choke on but when i turn the choke off the bike revs up as if the throttle is pegged. I cleaned the card and the low speed jet was clogged. I fixed that and carb seemes to function correctly but has zero throttle control. Did I miss something when i assembled it? Cable is connected and the needles moves up and down. I'm stumped. I'm told it should have a Type I carb but this appears to be a Type III. It has 7HA on the flange. Not sure if the carb is right. Note: after i first cleaned the carb the throttle worked as designed but the jet got clogged after it ran for about 3 minutes. After I disassembled the carb and cleaned it again is when the trouble started. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Glad to be part of the forum. I had one of these when I was a kid. Now my daughter has one!!

Thanks

New CHP handlebar pics are located under The CHP Handlebar thread. Please check them out to see what they look like on my trail 70. I'm redirecting everyone cause I can't post pics worth a crap. Thanks

I just picked this blue one up at a very reasonable price. It's a 4 speed conversion. From what I can tell it's a 72 3spd body with a 72 4 spd engine. It is painted to look like a 71 & has an early muffler & tail light. Even though it's not original someone did a really nice job on it. The bike had been sitting many years but with a carb cleaning & new battery it runs like a champ & all the electrics work:







Here is my 75 'mighty green' I actually ride this one to work now & then as I am only a few miles away.:monkey:

I have seen regular motocross bike handle bars on some of CTs in the gallery and I think i'd like to go that direction.

Is there an adapter I need to mount them on my triple tree and mabey what would even fit, xr75 bars ect...

By the way? whered my gallery link go. I use that for inspiration:77:

I got the first set of handlebars from CHP today. They are awsome. Anyone who needs handlebars I suggest you get them while you can.:4:

Ok, this ongoing issues with forks is really Umm.. tickin' me off.

I had to get new forks for me k3 as they were severly pitted, I went to Ebay and got a pair they too were pitted, then I went BACK to ebay and bought a set of k0 (71.. I think) which I like better anyways and yep.. although not BOTH are scratched up bad to the point one has a flat on it.

Actully, can u guys tell me: What DID I buy eBay Motors: honda trail CT70 front forks no reserve (item 170274921289 end time Nov-02-08 07:43:05 PST)


So.. does anyone have a set of forks to sell or mabey I can get a link to some reputable site.

How many miles are they good for? I need to get a general ideal for my tour.

If under 2 thou I might have to ship them ahead.
