hi guys i am new to the site i purchased my little Honda st 70 in the late summer of 2012. when i purchased it the bike a 1973 model it had been standing in a barn for the last 20 years. the bike had only covered 3600 miles from new but was in a bit of a state. it was complete minus the front & rear fenders & rear tail light & mounting bracket. i did not do anything with the bike until march this year when it was totally stripped. some new genuine parts & a mixture of after market parts where fitted bodywork was powder coated a few items re chromed seat cover was a mess so new seat cover i new rivet's fitted. when i purchased the bike there was no paperwork or reg no with the bike so i had to get it registered on an age related plate which was a bit of a nightmare but worth it in the end anyway here's some photo's of the bike before & after the re build

Hi there, I've recently joined and posted a wanted ad for an ST70, I was looking at your article and you mention that you may possibly decide to sell the bike. If you do, perhaps you would be kind enough to let me know and how much you would want for it? No problem if you have decided to keep it, I'm in no particular hurry and have only just started looking. All the best, Michael

this is where i purchased the fenders from i was a bit sceptical about ordering from bangkok due to the quality & delivery of some of the parts you can buy but was more than happy when they arrived 100% satisfied with the fitment & the chrome is better than an original & only took 10 days to arrive

Is that really powder coat candy red ? What does that cost and is the finish comparable to paint ?
