Tumeke Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 This is a CB50 that needs all the things - namely brakes, less rattle, more ali-express seats etc. I swapped it for one of my CountryCalender.mp3 bikes. Will probably build this one up in the near future with some hydraulic disc front end and some XR100 goodness. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tumeke Posted January 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 Because everyone else has a CT110 CT50 and @UTERUS says they are good, I grabbed this low mileage example from Turners auctions. These have been going for stupid money lately, however when an auction ends on new years day and everyone is still too dusty to bid, some bargains are there to be had. It's blue due to ex contractor and has only just been run in at 103k. Rack box has since been removed and seems to go pretty well.

Truenotch Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Nice! Is that on of the CT's that were used to collect rubbish off the road? I used to see one driving around Hamilton every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems well serviced too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I held out for an ag one and tbh have never NEEDED to use it. 12v of a post spec one is much better than low range IMO also post ones have better forks, apparently more robust frames and bigger rear brake from what my eyecrometer tells me. And a rev limiter. Which only slows ya down. Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumeke Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 This one also has a flashing orange light on the back to alert other road users that you've stopped to have a piss / roll a durrie / sharn the benefits of 2 extra strokes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumeke Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 CT-CREEK 110/125 My brother has a Cub with leading link suspension - not ideal for cape ride. Upgrade searching began. I found this amazingly cheep CT110 on marketplace that some bloke found in a creek at the back of his house. GC even dropped it off with his truck. I was told i'll never get it going cause it's seized and shit - which is fine cause I just wanted parts. But then.... With a bit of old ATF fluid, some spanners and about 6 Haargens, pulled it apart and made it spin again. Threw some spares I had left over from Cooks Transport at it And went and did some skids. Goes good. Then got bored and threw a spare Lifan 125 in it and did a 200km shakedown. Now cape-readyish. ALSO SPECIAL THAMLS TO @BLIZZO FOR NEW RIM(JOB). Didn't even take the tyre off it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
