Honda CT70 clone - turn it into a 1978 Honda CT70?

I needed to take the tires off this bike and use them for testing on the Amigo Rocky, so……. I decided to tear the entire bike apart, in preparation for rebuilding this Icebear Champion into a 1978 Honda CT70 replica. This is the first of many rebuild videos for this bike.

I'm having a hard time deciding on buying a clone or the actual bike, i have a 190cc 5spd motor on my pitbike i plan to swap onto whatever i buy

[@shinu1043]

din't have to cut the ground wire you could just have disconnected it at the engine, it's connected to one of the engine covers

[@MiniBikeMike]

Unfortunately, no. Both wires came back together on the underside of the battery box. The only way to remove was cut the wire or the box.

[@shinu1043]

@@MiniBikeMike ah, it's prob bit different from my bike than cause i remember the wire when i did my engine swap (2017 Zhenhua Zh-CjL50-1 full automatic swapped with a lifan 50cc manual) EU version

Hey Mike. Loving the series. When you do set the bike back up to the 78 style would you link or say where you source the speedometer from? The original speedometers are super pricey on ebay. I was just curious what the alternative is for the aftermarket. Thanks.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks! Yes, speedo’s, like everything else, have really jumped in price. I found a round alternative that I’m hoping will work….we’ll find out together. 😄

Hello Mike can you fit 130-90-10 tire on the black champion you are currently working on ?

[@petervandenbrink4860]

Hoi Mike ben benieuwd hoe de bike uit 1978 er uit gaat zien
Wat ga je met het typeplaatje doen aan de zijkant van de bike
Succes

[@gjames57]

What is it like out of the box and do you know who the Chinese manufacturer is?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Lots of videos on this bike. Brand new 2022 Icebear Champion.

[@7un05]

Does this have the 5.5l tank?

[@MiniBikeMike]

I don’t know. I’d have to look at the owner’s manual and see if it lists the size.
