Smart move. 5 years ago, I rebuilt my 69 Honda MiniTrail. It was a full restore. I decided on a Big Bore kit to up the cc's and a new cam shaft designed for torque. The other thing I did was to go with a smaller front sprocket heavy clutch pack, and a racing carburetor. The end result was a torquey little beast that could easily pull my 290-pound frame around the farm. These little Honda's are pure fun. Congratulations on the build!

Hi Peter, thanks for the comment! Its really cool to hear about your build. Sounds like something that will be similar to mine. They are great bikes, looking forward to getting it built and enjoying it, no plan on selling it at all! I'm after that stock look with the performance benefits. Thanks for watching !

Glad you enjoyed it. That sounds great, I bet a 108cc kit really moves well on one of these! I am looking forward to getting mine finished and out for a test ride!

What kit did you use from Kitaco? I want to do this to my SL70 but cant even find number for your CT70

@MasonsWorkshop Ай бұрын

Hi there, I purchased the top end kit from Bens bikes UK. Link below: www.takegawauk.co.uk/product-page/kitaco-88cc-std-bore-up-type-6v I also got the kitaco clutch kit but this was from Shire bikes. and finally... I have a Kitaco exhaust as well which you will see in the next episode!

Like to see the details of the ignition conversion assuming it would run without a battery for my project which is a custom and simplified as much as possible...jf...

@MasonsWorkshop 5 ай бұрын

Hi there, Yes no battery needed as there is 6v provided from the ignition to run basic system such as lights. Same function as the standard points ignition system but much improved. I would recommend it!
