The French ST70 White

Hi all here is my White (1974).

We live not far from Bordeaux, Médoc ( france)



I'm repairing the ST.... I hope to find some answers and advise here on the forum.... Yes yes the tires were chinese but I've mounted Michelins S1 yesterday.

Very nice original bike!!!
Welcome to the forum.

Thank you Waynus, this was the bike when I adopted her.... a few months ago... You know the "barnfind" kind off bike ....
Some good old polish (Simonis) and a bit off gray motip paint ..... the funny thing about my little honda is that she started with no problems.... I did change the feultank yes a bigger one now.... 3,4L.... the old one was like a little bit to rusty inside... so the little carburator didn't like it at all.... I do need to find a new "old" swingarm for the bike.... I realy would like to find one in the same colour... I realy don't want to respray..... The bike is great like she is now, so the swingarm should be the same....
"Dans son jus" like the French say...

Very nice original ST70 white.

I bought a skidplate on ebay for my little White..... it does need a bit of good old cleaning cloth....

I did still have an modern chromium exhaust, so I dicided to paint the inner side black like on the late CT-70 bikes... It looks rather more off road... the old ST-70 6v exhaust doesn't.

A little drive to the beach....

A chromium CT spark plug guard and CT seat are on its way from the states.....

The seat oh yeah....



Now I'm happy...

A nice CT-70 6V look.......

What do you guys think... which exhaust?

Nice,

Defo the older type "Ladder Exhaust", that one looks so much better

All the best Si

I prefer the original, that said however. The later style is the exhaust i intend fitting to mine,is there any difference in performance between them ? And more importantly , what is the exhaust sound like on the later pipe ?

Its a lovely bike, shall we swap

The later style sounds a little bit less hard..... the speed seems to be the same 70km/h...

Ok I'll keep the "ladder" 6V exhaust one on the bike.....

Hard ?
