The K1 front fork assembly is much different than the KO. The shocks are oil filled and much harder to get apart because of the screw type clamp. I have had many CT70 enthusiast e-mail and want to know how to get these fork shocks apart. Now I know why. These front shocks rust themselves to the fork and make it nearly impossible to remove the shock assembly. We found that prying a screw driver with a hammer down into the slot that holds the shock will open it. At this point make sure the top chrome bolt is screwed back down to keep the shock oil from squirting out the top when you go to pound down on it. Having the top chrome bolt in will also keep from mashing the aluminum shock housing out of shape.
If you have a Honda Mini and need a title for it, C.A.R. Classic Automotive Registation in Cleveland, Alabama can fix you up for $75.00 pre 1975. If you would like to get more info call them at 1-888-878-1172.
Here is a correction for your website. You state that you can get a
title for your minibike through C.A.R. This is not true if you live in
some states. On C.A.R.'s website they state that their service is not
available
if you live in Washington (were I live) Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, or
Minnesota. (See their "Rates" page at the bottom).
I went through Titles Unlimited 1-800-325-8136. They cost a little
more
(100 dollars versus 75 dollars for C.A.R) but I was able to get a title for
my restored CT70 with no problem.
See ya

With the fork sitting on top of a vise or something solid, put a piece of wood on top of the chrome nut and hit with a large hammer several times pounding the tube down. The first couple hits you may not see it moving much but keep hitting it and you will notice it moving down. Both of my tubes slid gently out with about five or six good whacks.
Again I am not going to go
into detail about tearing one apart. I think most of us will find this the
easy part.
Wow, in one weekend I managed
to get two bikes torn down and ready for sand blasting.
More coming soon!!!!!! Please stop back!!!!!!!!!
Thought you might like to see what you helped an ol' country boy from
Alabama
