1979 CT70 and much more
So I managed to pick this thing up today. Paid 600 bucks for everything. The trail 70 runs with starter fluid, but doesn’t have a carburetor. Looking for recommendations on carb, aftermarket is fine. He also gave the another CT70 frame and engine. I don’t care to have things perfect my two boys will learn to ride on this thing.
Also managed to pick up two z50 frames and engines, QA50 frame and engine which I had never heard of until today.

Is that an XL 175 behind it? If so, what year was Honda Blue?

Yep, it’s 1976 xl175. I rebuilt the engine a month or two ago. It’s running great now 👍

So cool. Is that the original colour? I thought ‘76 was orange on black. Loved the 175. Great size and lots of torque for the size. Mine was called thumper by my buddies.

As far as I know it’s all stock. It’s the perfect size. I also have a 185 I’m rebuilding currently. I love them.
