Question Bill,
I need at least about 4 good soild sites for ordering parts for a 1970 CT90K2 I'm restoring. Could you help me? I appreciate your help with this issue. I'm trying to keep the cost low so No site in Canada or Austrialia.
Thanks
Bruce
Answer Bruce after 36 years, the supply of parts for your bike is pretty thin. Honda hasn't made any parts for them since the early 1990s, other than generic parts for the engine and gaskets, etc. www.westernhillshonda.com in Ohio is a Honda dealer, that specializes in vintage machine parts.
The hardest parts to get will be exhaust and body parts, including the air cleaner items, which changed repeatedly through production years.
Other places to do research are www.vjmc.org to find like minded enthusiasts. Find copies of the parts books for that specific year model, plus a good shop manual. They may still be available at www.helminc.com
