Honda trail 70

[squirtnmyload]

Anyone into these things? Any good parts sources?

 

[CampbellCarl]

I was able to locate lots of parts from good ol EBay for a Passport 70 that needed a few cosmetic items.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Used to ride a friends back int he day and always wanted to get one. They sure are pricey

 

[Rickybobby]

Does this count ???

 

[Paul65k]

They are very cool :thumbup:

I had a 70 model back in the day that not only had the folding handlebars but also had been modified with a hinge in the middle of the frame (like a swing away tongue) so I could fold it in half and take it with us in the back of the airplane:cool.....they are a blast and seem to be woth the $$$ now.........wish I still had that thing:grumble:

I just picked up a '71, mostly original and runs great. speedo, lights work and everything. Just needs a few cosmetic things and a once over to register it for the road.

Like ritchey said, it looks like people are asking alot of money for them all done up. This one has a permanent home though, its fun as hell!

 

[white tortilla]

i got a 93' its fun. got a bigger rear sprocket so i can run 55 around town

I've got a '71 Aqua-blue one with 4 speed and manual clutch, I'm told that this model is fairly rare without the auto-clutch dealio. I dunno.

Thats what i was told also. Mine came from a buddy who bought some guys whole shop out. Ended up with a dozen bikes in all stages and one was a 4 speed manual. I do believe he got an extra 4 speed tranny in the deal, along with a truckload of other spare parts, engines, etc

Just got it back to my shop, can't wait to start cleaning it up tomorrow!

Damn, it looks brand new, nice score!

 

[obnoxious001]

My brother in law messed with a bunch of those small Hondas years ago, I can see if he had any good sources.

 

[squirtnmyload]

Was just turned on to this site...here we go lol

Not sure what the market is now, but for a while these things were smokin red hot price wise bc all of us who either had one when we were kids or always wanted one... now had the greenbacks to pick them up.... there is a whole bunch of RDP similar forums for these things and of course some guys went off the deep end and have restored them to museum quality and were gettin over 5g's for the restored versions!!! Jr and I each have one and our plan was to just fix them up to bomb around the pits at tracks days..... we did get to run his at laguna seca flat out around the track once, it was a blast !!!!

I could use some parts for mine, if your buddy has some extra stuff ????

sml
that is a sweet bike, they are super easy to work on and you can get almost any part for them. Most of the parts are chinese made and you gotta watch the quality but lots of parts and yours looks mostly complete.... nice work.

 

[aka619er]

Ive got two. A 71 thats the wifes and my 72. Both bone stock. Lots of fun. I get all my parts on Ebay.

Ours is same color as this one. 631 miles. A friend of mine used to restore these and gave some parts to do ours. I need to get new cables, fuel line and a battery. He also recommended Beatrice Cycle for parts. http://www.dratv.com/info.html

 

[imirsh1]

I'm salivating. While on on putt with my own scooter I was passed by a guy on a trail 90....... with his teenaged son on back
Be cool to get one :thumbup:

 

[SummitKarl]

those things are awesome :thumbup:
click it into 1st hold the shifter down rev it up side slide the foot and it's wheelie time

you can blow into a empty beer flapping your lips and it's sound just like a trail 70 and I am sure one of you will try it

 

[mobldj]

Mine had a standard clutch as well.....now I really wish I still had it :grumble:

I sooooooooooo want a couple XR75's and to make a track in my backyard

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I have rebuilt and restored many CT70's. Dratv.com (Beatrice) and ebay is where I've purchased most of my stuff from.

 

[BigSteve]

We put a few 70 motors in our 50's :thumbup:

 

[mjc]

I have used Dratv with good luck so far. You can swap in a Chinese 125 or bigger motor if you need more power.

 

[BHC Vic]

I've got an old Indian I guess I'm out on this one [emoji4].

 

[TPC]

I used to be into them.
Only advice I can give is use the more expensive carburetors. The cheap-O carbs are crap and or headaches.
Mickey Rooney (Mikuni) and Keihin no longer make replacements last I restored one. That may have changed.

eBay a good source and sellers rep is real important. Heed the reviews.

 

[LuckyStrike]

Get a hold of Mark Allen..He alwys has a shit load of parts for them:yikes

 

[sirbob]

Just saw one of those for sale at Montgomery Motorcycles in San Clemente. It was the light / aqua blue and they wanted $2700.

Man, that thing almost came home with me! If it were not for the fact that I'm trying to put 2 kids through collage I would have bought it on the spot.

Very cool little bike.

 

[squirtnmyload]

Thanks for all the tips! Some good sites posted.

Here's some more pics, i'm pretty happy with it.

 

[coolchange]

My buddy had a perfect original one with wire wheels. I asked him why he sold it. Cause I'm a dumbass.

 

[aka619er]

Congrats on a great bike. This is a crappy picture of the wifes 70 K0 model. It is a bit of an oddity. The frame comes apart in 2 pieces at a hinge. I have Googled the heck out of it and found nothing. I ran into an old Vietnam pilot at work that told me they use to take these bikes with the on the planes since the collapsed and could use them behind lines although I haven't been able to verify this. Still amazingly fun bikes that get smiles everywhere we go. Old pic but its the only one I currently have.

I had a QA50. Busted my head open big time, the forks seperated apart while I was jumping.[emoji33]

 

[RitcheyRch]

Not a bad price either

Does anyone have an opinion on what replacement carb would be the best to use?

I think mine has a aftermarket carb. I rebuilt the carb and it still seems to have some slight issues and leaks out of the fuel cut off.

We should do a group buy on a bigger drop in engine...lol

The good carbs are about $100.00
Under $30 ain't worth $5.

Sniff around and their are a few new carbs out there.
Worth the few extra $$.
The trick is draining them when not riding.
The carbs rot out.

 

[mobldj]

got around yesterday to taking pics now that the little girl is done,runs better than it looks....

I may get one of those for my ct70, I want the one with the 4 speed.

 

[squirtnmyload]

Had some time to start to clean her up. Ordered a new seat cover and a few other items to get ready to register it.

That motor comes with a 4 speed semi auto tranny!
