I got dibs on a CL70 kickstand from one of those parts bikes!

I removed mine when I was a kid for performance reasons. I would ride the countryside and up and around mountains. The kick stand would drag on the sides when I would scrape my knee too. So it had to go. I put it somewhere but I haven't been able to find it in years so I give up looking.

Hey Will, those batteries are pretty cheap. I think I got mine for $15-$20, but since there is know magneto, it needs to keep a good charge. You can put a magneto on it, but I have been told it work just fine the way it is if keeps a good charge.

Just go buy a lantern battery from WalMart or somewhere and go fire that thing up!

Ok I'm just impatient.... probably not a good idea.
