190cc Honda Trail 70 Build | TOTAL RESTOMOD

1971 Honda Trail 70 restomod build video! I bought this CT70 rolling chassis for cheap ($200), and I bought tons of new parts for it online including larger wheels and tires, a Zongshen 190cc 5 speed engine (similar but not identical to the Pitster Pro 190 and Daytona 190), new triple tree front forks, a front disc brake, and more. This Honda CT70 restomod build is wicked!

Oh man! My dad bought me a Honda Trail 70 when I was a kid back in the early 70s. It was my first motorized bike & I rode that little bike all over the woods where we lived in northern Arizona.

I love the 190 engine. It's prone to a few issues but super simple and cheap to work on and mod. With a 212 bore, 4 valve head and advanced timing it puts out 24+hp.

[@GruesomeJeans]

In my years of buying car parts and doing backyard repairs, I've never had a decent bolt on experience. For some reason, everything requires fitment customization. It's a real pain. But, I think you guys have a really good foundation for it. Now it's time to tidy things up and repair stuff.

[@alexseverance2996]

Awesome work

[@williamstamper442]

Love your content. Ive never owned a chain breaker. As a retired forklift mechanic ive only done lift chains with an angle grinder and a punch. This philosophy transfered to my minibike world im in now. Not a bench grinder but an angle grinder...your bench grind method goes to new levels of burning fingers or chain getting caught between rest and wheel! Try angle grinder method. Use a paint pen to mark which link you want to go bye bye. Also for figuring out gearing for each bike i build i use cheap amazon chain then once i nail gearing then i put the good stuff GoPowerSports gold chain on at that length. My post is too long sorry about that gonna finish video now. Have fun guys!

[@715101]

I find on 420 chain I can just drill a 1/8 hole in some hardwood and just punch it through without grinding... I used to use a grinder but I found I had to use similar force with the punch compared to just punching it without grinding

To reduce your swerving and other issues at high speed you should get a steering stabilizer

Steering dampener. The reality is his suspension is not set up properly for his weight. Possibly to much preload. You shouldn't need a steering dampener on such a small bike doing such low speeds.

[@D34Dh3AD]

Beatiful dax! The brake system always goes left on the front! this is to prevent brake power be to much on either side. Also the best way to warm an engine is to let it idle for about 15 to 30 minutes and then go for a drive to about half throttle while sometimes driving a bit faster or slower. This process minus the idling needs to be repeated for 500 kilometers if the cylinder is cast iron and 100 to 200 kilometers if the cylinder is aluminum. I also hear some blowback when you went for a little drive, be sure to check the valves to see if they are tuned correctly. Not only will this increasy the life span of the engine but also the performance and mileage.
