I just got this one up and running. It was a friend of mine's, who passed away. The guy didn't believe in check ups, or doctors, and it caught up with him. Anyway, it has a low hour Briggs 5hp and a nice Comet TQ set up. I didn't like the stock briggs carb/gas tank set up, so I replaced that with a Tec Clone carb and one of those Ebay sourced manifolds. It runs strong now...strong enough to make me a little scared on the flats! I do like the CT 70 rear 10" with the General wide wall 6" front wheels...it looks good as is, I think. That said, there's a lot of corrosion, some surface rust, from the bike sittling outside for 10+ years.
I've got like 5 other bikes to work on...should I buff this one out further, or just leave it as is? Anyone have any idea what the frame originally was? My pal added the outrigger bars and footpegs when he put it together.
