Did you source that exhaust system off of Ebay or locally? You found a nearly perfect one I see. So the engine is running like a top? Mine has had a good amount of use over the years and I can still ride wheelies without much trouble. These bikes are little billy goats. |
I had to purchase new foot rubbers and rear pegs. I got both from ebay, the foot rubbers are probably china i purchased from tammy.... can't remember her user name but she has a bunch of stuff listed for a cl70.
I treat all my rubber with 100% silicone oil. It's non-petroleum so won't harm the rubber, good stuff give it a try.
The exhaust is new, except the heat shields i reused. The thing had been sitting on a dealers shelf for years. I had looked for a year and couldn't even find a used one, then this popped up on ebay as well.
I baby my little cl70 for the most part, but have a cx500 that i give hell to.
