Yup test fit before paint so it don't get scratched up. looks like it will be all downhill once You get the exhaust figured out....
Not going to use any spare plumbing You have around are ya? :lol: 8O

Well, I got the exhaust mounted. Just had to use some leftover hardware to make some studs and a little chunk of metal for the rear mount.

Installed the electrical. Hooked up the gas tank. Took it for a ride. :lol:

I aired up the tires. The rear grabs fine. The front? This thing does fine wheelies. Need to be careful going up hill.

The gearing seems to be fine. Needs a chain and a rear sprocket though. There are not too good. I don't know if I can use that kazuma rear sprocket. It is much smaller. Might gear it too high.

Who needs paint when you have duct tape.

You work fast!

I enjoy reading of the progress.

Well. Its still ugly and my camera broke down. All my pictures have a purple background.

Anyway. I took the rear apart to get the sprocket off. It is worn to points. Need to source a replacement. The sprocket on the CL70 doesn't bolt on. It has the drive pins attached permanently so I will have to get one on ebay. It looks like the CT70 uses the same type. Stock is a 49T and it is pretty low so I think I can get by with 45T or so with no problems.

Probably should clean the wheel up while I am waiting for a sprocket and its off. Can do the front when the new tire arrives.

I also stripped off more of the lights and street parts. Since the sprocket will hold me up for awhile I should get to work on the little ATV. It is shorting and blowing fuses.

I added another pic to the album above. I got a set of xr100 forks in the load of xr80s I just picked up. It appears that they may fit the stock cl70 trees and give me about 2 more inches of travel.

Also a nice fender to go with.

Well slight holdup on the fork swap. The front axle diameter is smaller than that of the xr. So eather new bearings and use an xr axle or scrap that idea and just run the stock parts. I will go with the latter as its easier. Plus keeps the beater look going.

Also the front brakes of the CL are shot. I hope that an xr part will fit so I don't have to spend any money there.

Okay maybe this project needs to come back online. Gas prices are climbing again. I already have this thing and I can get it registered too. The current engine runs and I have half the parts need to get it legal.

I wonder if the 110cc engine will allow 50mph. The down side is the weak brakes. Up side is larger tires than a scoot.

Lets get some input on this thing.

If I remember correctly, the CL70 I had would do 60 as indicated by the speedo. I have no idea how close that was to acurate. Mine had a regular clutch and I think it was a 4 speed but dont remember. I think with a bigger engine a higher speed would be easy enough.

The 110 is a 4speed auto clutch. If I can get 60 that is fast enough. My concern right now is braking ability. I don't think honda intending these to go 60mph.

Currently thinking about all LED lighting with a upgraded headlight for night riding. A 35w would be okay for daytime. Not sure what output the little stator has. The engine is an e-start model too.

Finally moved this project into my "shop". It has been out in the weather.

It seems to be low on compression. Was running when I took the wheels off last fall.

Allen

Maybe a stuck valve?

Thats is what I am thinking. I only got aboutu 30psi from my compression tester.

I want to pull the engine to paint the frame. Will need to see if I can find something. Valves seem must likely.

Last night while eating dinner I saw a Sturgis special on the Speed Channel that featured the guy who rode his CT90 to Sturgis from the Southeast somewhere 1,100 miles away. 8O

Here you go. http://www.dualsportridersoflouisian...ing-to-Sturgis

Maybe I should ride it to Daytona this fall. :wink: Would probably need some sponsors.
