I believe you can convert the engine to a CDI and 12 volt. Also I have a stock engine for parts if you need anything from it. I plan to just use china power in mine.

I will look. Not sure if its even there. The flywheel nut and woodruff key I probably have, but you may just want to get new ones.

Ahh, okay . Thanks for looking Allen. I can get one off ebay for about $80 shipped I think. I would probably be wise to get it running well before I replace the cover though, I could run my cracked one till then. I see a large electrical parts order heading to dratv soon! I'll grab a new flywheel bolt and key at the same time.

I was considering that paint scheme for a new project bike; I'm definitely doing it now. Thanks Stew.

$80. I have seen whole engines go for less than that. I suppose that is Canadian pricing.
I wil watch the "the pile" for another one. Also I collected some other parts and have duplicates. Wheels, swingarms, brakes etc. Since I now have the elite, I am going to just build the ct as a yard/trail bike. No need for lights and I can keep it geared low. In a few years my girls will be able to ride it. |

Yup, things are pricey on this side of the border . I think it's the shipping here that drives the prices up... Here's a more reasonably priced one
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Honda-z50-ct70-ma...#ht_500wt_1156 I think I'll make sure it runs like a top though before I invest in any cosmetic type stuffs . I'm going to have to get my butt in gear and place an order for the electrical stuff soon, anxious to hear the old girl run again! |

Decided against buying the CT90 and will instead get working on my old 70 . I have decided to go ahead and repower it with a Lifan 125 engine with a semi auto clutch. I do plan on storing the original engine and repairing it at a later date but for the time being I'm dying to try out the Lifan. I went semi auto on the clutch to keep it a little closer to the original bike, and to make it easier to ride if my son takes an interest in bikes . I'm also going to see if I can get the thing registered for trail use (wish me luck on that one!), if I can't I'll just putt around on private land. It's going to take a while to get it all up to snuff though, I have to replace a lot of missing/worn out parts... Probably end up being a winter project. Engine is bought though, and I just have to wait for it to show up. Don't you just hate waiting for stuff to come in the mail?
