THIS AUCTION IS FOR A 1970 HONDA MODEL CT70H TRAIL BIKE, MADE IN DECEMBER 1970. THIS IS A ONE OWNER BIKE AND WAS ONLY USED BY MY FAMILY. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED INSIDE AND HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH, MAYBE 5 MILES ON MY WOODS ROADS IN THE PAST 30 YEARS. IT ALWAYS STARTS EASILY BUT THE HAND THROTTLE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED. THE LAST TIME I STARTED IT WAS MAYBE 3-4 YEARS AGO AFTER I CHANGED OIL AND OIL FILTER PLUS NEW AIR FILTER. MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE MUFFLER IS BRAND NEW. THE BATTERY IS MAYBE 6-8 YEARS OLD BUT STORED IN A WARM ROOM. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS TWO KEYS. THE RUBBER COVER OVER THE BATTERY HAS, I THINK ONE OF THE LITTLE RUBBER NIPPLES MISSING. THE OIL DRAIN PLUG HAS A NEW SEAL. ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, I DISCOVERED A SMALL CRACK IN THE HEAD-LIGHT BUCKET. I TRIED SEVERAL HONDA SHOPS FOR A NEW ONE BUT NO ONE HAD A GREEN ONE AND I ALSO WATCHED FOR ONE ON EBAY WITH NO SUCCESS. I PURCHASED A NEW BUCKET OF A DIFFERENT COLOR AND TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP WHO NEW ABOUT THE PRIMER AND FINISH FOR THIS BIKE. WITH PAINT AT OVER $110.00 A GALLON, I HAD HIM MATCH THE GREEN AS CLOSE AS HE COULD AND AT THAT, IT WAS A LITTLE TOUGH BUT IT CAME PRETTY CLOSE. (SEE ALL PICTURES) AS THIS IS A USED BIKE, IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT STILL THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHS, SMALL PAIT CHIPS, DISCOLORATION ON THE ENGINE (NORMAL), A FEW SMALL RUST SPOTS, MOSTLY SEEN IF YOU RAISE THE SEAT. PAINT IS ORGINAL. MY WIFE TELLS ME THE SEAT IS NEW, WHICH MAY BE BUT ALL PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED OR NEEDED, ARE HONDA FACTORY PARTS FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA MOTORCYCLE DEALER. .THE TIRES, I BELEIVE ARE ORGINAL. HORN WORKS. THE FRONT CHROME FENDER HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS IN IT. I WAS ALWAYS GOING TO FIX THESE THINGS BUT NEVER FOUND THE TIME. I HAVE THE ORGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL WITH WIRING DIAGRAM. I DO NOT HAVE THE TOOL KIT. ON THE HANDLE BAR, ONE GRIP IS BLACK AND THE OTHER A CREME?? COLOR. I CANNOT REMEMBER EVER CHANGING ONE BUT MAYBE I DID. 2014 FROM 1970 IS 44 YEARS AND ONE CAN FORGET A FEW THINGS. BUYER TO PICK UP BIKE NEAR CRANDON, WI. 54520 OR NEENAH, WI. 54956. RIGHT NOW IT IS STORED AT THE CRANDON AREA. AGAIN, PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES CAREFULLY. DUE TO THE 4th OF JULY HOLIDAY, I WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK.
