Wow, killer deal! That paint does look original, and that chrome should polish out. They are a lot of fun, and a great bike for people to learn on, but you can hot-rod them up too. Your plan to keep it original with new rubber is a good one. Though it is kind of a chore, replacing the fuel lines is highly recommended. When one of these starts leaking gas from inside the frame, it is unstoppable till you pull the tank.

 

I hear people talk about silvertags, would this be early enough and how would you tell? Thanks. Buddy

 

Read THIS on the silvertag.

Your tag is black. The silvertags were a generic silver sticker without the VIN.

 

Thanks, now I know what a silver tag is, I will start my search for an exhaust, would rather have original than aftermarket, might have to save up for that. Who has the best seat cover? my foam and pad are in good shape, only a small hole in the original cover.

 

Great purchase!! Looks good as is already!

 

Nice score!

 

Been a while since I posted any progress on the CT70, I have started cleaning it up, been rebuilding my QA50.

Thanks guys, I've been working on these bikes for a couple years, when I get my my Z50A finished, I'm going to drag them to a few bike events

 

If you're needing a seat for your CT70, Bartmoto has a nice one for $89.

 

Got the top end painted and blasted, installed new oem std. rings and a new intake valve that was bent from upside down piston. Ordered an oem exhaust and air breather along with front brake cable, lower exhaust guard and a few other misc. items. Hope I can get it buttoned up in the next couple weeks.

 

About to wrap up this project, just need to install carb kit, I should be cruising in a couple days.
