I want to trick up my 71 CT70. I plan to use it when I go camping in my '69 Airstream. I want to tool around the campgrounds and ride national forest trails.

The cool CT70 bikes I see are street monster machines. Anyone out there got pics of off-road CT70s?

I need a pipe with a spark suppressor. I also want to change the bent handle bars to MX style bars. Maybe BBR. I need new tires, shocks, forks, wheels, engine.

Please help me out. I need to know what parts fit. Please be specific so I can start to built my dream. All ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Well all the same performance parts will work you will just need some good knobbies to work on the trails. So you can do almost anything want for power. Susupension is the same way.

I would honestly get some snowblower tires and rock it just like that until something breaks...then replace it with a performace part..

The shock mounts on a ct70 are way to prone to bending, especially if your going to be doing any jumping. I've got a 1970 ct70, It's a blast on trails, don't get me wrong. Take a close look at the top rear shock mounts, you'll see what I mean.

save yourself the trouble and let me put together a nice little CRF off roader and trade me for your CT so I can make a monster street machine out of it.

Does anyone know what tires are on that rig?

FastMC

They look like they might be the rear tires from an EZ90 "Cub"

If you want to fool around with a CT70, just mount Bridgestone tyres (ML50). They have a very good grip on the road AND in the dirt. And buy a engine with a lot of tork, ex. a Nice 108cc.

100% fun!

That black dax is sweet! Thats want I'm talkin about. Those tires are awesome. I might go with black wheels.

Yes my shocks are already bent. I was thinking about a pair of these ishocks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3 AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=230141819833&rd=1

What about a swing arm? Could I get the shocks now and the swinger later?

That shock is meant for an A-arm swingarm and will be way to stiff. That shock alone should hold up the bike even with the leverage against it with the swingarm. So doubling it up will make it WAY too stiff. There is no way it would move at all. You would have a hardtail CT. But you do have a real nice CT70. Think twice before you take that to the dirt.

You want bmx bars get some 91 bars and mounts from a 91 ct70, for the BMX style

This is Razzo's one.


I myself have a 74 CT70 and im putting the whole 91 front end on mine for the better front shocks and cheaper and easyer to find replacment bars

Rear shocks get some good gas shocks , check out monkeybikes web site in the UK...

Very nice bike. Is that and R&L pipe from DrATV? Do you like it? I guess I could get one of those and a cobra sparky. But that would be $300+ and DrATV is out of them right now.

I have looked at shocks from http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/ I sure would perferr to buy in the US. Which shocks would you recommend?

Thanks,
Bren

On more question about the R&L pipe. My kids like to ride on the back. Would it be a passenger leg burner?

fatcaaat

Imay have a nice set of wheels for you...

glamourshades

Yes... Photos? Cost? I want big tires like that DAX.
