Upper shock is original and bottom
completely refurbished to near N.O.S. condition.

You really can't
see the quality of the restoration on these 1972 CT70 K1 front oil filled shocks.
I first used the 220 grit sanding wheel we purchased from Home Depot, then
polished it to a high shine. A wire brush was then used the same way we
did the rear shocks on Frankenbike. The 1972 CT70 front shocks were
painted with a clear coat like the aluminum brake hubs. To fill a dry
fork assembly you will need 100-105cc hydraulic oil or 3.4-3.6 oz. To
refill after draining use 80-85cc or 2.7-2.9 hydraulic oil. |

The upper most portion of
this shock assembly was sent to get rechrome plated . I used a bolt with the marking
"8" on top just for the picture. The original bolt had no mark
on the top of it. I will replace this bolt with the correct one
later. |

I have just had two
Mini Trail 50 engines overhauled by Enzo. The experience was great. Not
only did he do a great job for the price he quoted he responded via email
to all my questions. It was great working with someone who does what he
said he would do but also does it on time. For all of you out there
looking for someone to overhaul your old engine I recommend Enzo very
highly.

The original stator wire coming from the
engine was in OK shape without cracks on this 1972 CT70 H motor so just
cleaning it with lacquer thinner on a towel was good enough. |
|
|
|
If your motor does not have the oil overflow
hose, you can get a new one from Honda. The new Honda part is larger and
will work fine. If you have your old one try cleaning it with lacquer
thinner and you can make it look like new again. |
|
|
|
All new case bolts, head
bolts, and aluminum timing cover, valve tappet covers and carb over flow
hose bracket. The jug is painted with a nice coat of glossy black just
like original. |
|
|
|
The top head cover gets all new washers and
acorn nuts. The head is bead blasted to remove any and all dirt from 30
years of use and to make look factory new. Here you can see how pretty the
engine cases on the motor look. |
|
|
|
I painted the engine cases the correct
silver for you with an engine rebuild. This is the new Honda clutch cover
shown here. It comes with deep scratches from the new manufacturing
process and must be polished and sent in for re-cadmium plating if you
want it to look right. |
|
|
|
If you have your old oil drain plugs, keep
them and get re-cadmium plated because the new Honda plugs look nothing
like these originals. |

Ready for the install, this
motor has been detailed to mint condition.
