I have the kazuma engine sitting there ready to go in. The honda engine is to the side waiting to go away. (Sell it to pay for parts)


Plans are to use the kazuma wiring and incorporate it into some of the stock honda wires for the lights etc. I am going to use the "new" battery from the 250 ninja so that I can hook up the starter and have battery for lights. Might need them on the trails.

Also going to use the kazuma foot pegs and the handlebars and controls.

Might new a sprocket. The honda ones are done.

Also might need to use the brake parts and cable for from the kazuma.

Will probably use the CT70 exhaust that came with the CL to start with.

Can't wait to see how it goes.

It should make a fun little bike to play with. The trails I ride don't have big hills or mud. I am working on some knobbies for it.

Allen

man that homemade exhast on the kazuma cracked me up lol reminds me a bit of the straight through exhaust pipe i made for my suzuki ts50

It actually sounds pretty good. But it is leaned out with it. I want to keep it stealth so a stock type exhaust will be used. I don't want to irritate the neighbors when riding it.

Allen

Must have been a plumbers bike :lol:
" don't worry son I'll fix that exhaust and tank in a jiffy, Honey where are the bungee cords??"

I used the CL70 that I had for trails. That thing would climb anything that I pointed at. very rough ride compared to todays suspention. But I didnt know any better.

I also remember going several miles back into a secluded riding area with a buddy. It was in the 20's and the ground was frozen. As it warmed up, the ground turned to mud. The fenders would clog up with mud to the point that the tires would not turn. My buddy had to pull me all the way back with a rope and MX bike. I was much more aware of mud after that.

I am aware of the mud fact too. Fortunately I stay out of it. I have some plans for improved suspension. Just depends on budget. That can come later.

I got a new front knobby on the way. The rear tire hopefully will work for awhile.

Added more pics to the picassa album posted earlier.

Got the engine bolts in. Fit perfect. Chain test fitted. Trying the exhausts out. The better condition CT70 exhaust doesn't fit the head right.

The rusted out CL70 pipe fits better, but the mounts are off slightly due to the large engine I believe. I also need some exhaust studs.

Next need to mount all the wiring and get it running. Then get the brakes functioning and take it for a ride. :lol:

Sorry. It is not going to get a fresh paint job. At least until I have it all the way I want it.

Allen

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.
