Howdy All...

I've got a early 70's CT70 coming in soon and the guy wants a "bolt in" motor. He's not doing any resto or mods. He just wants to flop one in and go...

He's looked on ebay and (like me) is confused by all the choices. He wants to spend $300 to $400 for a complete solution...

What do you suggest?

(NOTE: With all these builds I have lately, you may get the impression I run a commercial shop... Nope. All of these are bikes are from my neighbors, their family, or friends. I work only for "fun" money and beer...

And to repay a few debts...)

GPX and any Honda Monkey Intake should clear the frame. Get a lighting coil, voltage regulator and swap all the bulbs over to 12V. Dratv.com has jumper harnesses and walk-throughs.

Jim, Rich and I just stared with a 1991-1994 CT and built up the Honda engines since they were already 12V CDI mills.

eBay Store - Fast Trails Performance: Chassis and Suspension, Complete Engines, Big Bore Kits
If I was gonna buy a motor from ebay, it would probably be from this guy. I've never bought a motor from this guy so I'm not endorcing him. I'm just in the market for something around a 140cc motor and his are the most modern one's I've seen at ebay at this time. I've not really made up my mind yet. I may still buy a motor from sgr-usa.com or Ahp Minis
