    Appears that the CL-70, “back in the day”, was a nice step up to a 17” wheel/tire bike from a Trail 70 (CT-70)… especially now with the Lifan 125 transplant. Also looks like you went with a semi-auto clutch on this one - semi-auto supporter here! 🔧🤙

    • @MiniBikeMike
      @MiniBikeMike 4 дня назад

      @@donsoule6411 Yes, the CL70 is very comfortable to ride. It gives you a little more of a “real” motorcycle feel. When I built those Michigan bikes, I wasn’t sure how much riding experience a couple of them had. I didn’t want to have to deal with burnt out clutch or broken clutch cable, etc. A semi-auto just made sense, from an ease of mind and ease of use standpoint.

    I replaced the carb on my Honda TRX250 4-Wheeler. To my great surprise, the new carb "cap" was a different size than the OEM carb cap that I planned to use. I needed to release the throttle cable from the OEM carb cap, But, that cable was fitted with a circular clip that squeezed down into the OEM carb cap and then released. It was a trapped clip. I could find no way to separate the throttle cable from the OEM carb cap. I hope that made sense. Have you ever encountered this? I ended up using a hack saw to cut the OEM carb cap to separate it from the throttle cable.

    you got less snow than we did. I don't know if you noticed, but I added a rear hand brake lever to my ice bear. It is very handy. When you need to put on hand grips, Hair spray is very slick when wet and dries to a glue. Better than WD-40. Lastly, your turn signals on the front are very nice. I would suggest fog lights with yellow halo's. Wired (with a switch) directly to battery for fog lights. They work without the engine running AND the extra light at night is WONDERFUL while riding. If you make them flip over, they can be used as repair lights after dark. I know you don't plan to run at night. Few do. (Use halo rings as turn signals)

    No need to apologize for the time you spend on your shout outs to the part supplier folks. To those of us who do a lot of wrenching on our projects, it’s all good information. Also, I agree whole heartedly with you on the advantages of the semi-auto clutch and the dual rear brake actuation by pedal and left hand lever. The more I’ve learned about the four design features of the semi-auto clutch and disassembled a few, the more I appreciated the function and engineering that went into it. It nearly eliminates the fear of an unexpected stall !!
