cobraman Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Nice to have this kit back again. Just starting to work on it. Plan is to build it up like the 1:1 I have in the garage. Some chrome needs to be stripped and redone. Not fond of the two piece tires but we can make them work.

cobraman Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello guys. I have just finished this kit. I must say that this was a pleasure to build. It is a nice little kit that builds up well. I can highly recommend it if you have any interest at all in bikes. I built a simple base for it so it would be more secure. Comments as always are welcome pro or con. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Zipper Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nicely done ! I like that.What did you use to attach the seat to the seat frame ? -does your seat flip open ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Very nice work!!! I picked up the kit at Toledo. I spent WAY too much time on a real Trail 70 back in the day. Loved that bike. Buddy had a 60 and we rode all the time in mountains of WV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nicely done ! I like that.What did you use to attach the seat to the seat frame ? -does your seat flip open ?I used Gorilla glue to attach the plastic frame to the vinyl seat. Yes the seat does flip forward.

unclescott58 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Turned out great Ray. Looks exactly like the one I remember my neighbors across the street having at the time. Man I wanted that bike. Now that I have model, I can kind of have one. The only thing is I love the color blue. Does anybody have a good idea of paint that comes in spray can, that would be very close to the blue that Honda offered on those early Trail 70s?Also Ray, can we see more pictures of yours. Maybe with the seat up? Or some closeup shots. I'm still confused on two things with this kit. What and where does the one end of the spark plug attach? And where exactly is one suppose to put the decal that goes on the front post? I don't see it on yours. It maybe blocked from view by the front forks?

cobraman Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 The blue may have been a candy blue. Not 100 % sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Some research shows it was Candy Sapphire Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
