    Resto list, Orig Battery CT70K0 ?

    Starting my restoration list:
    Bike has sat for over 30 years, battery is original, can it be saved or do I need to find a replacement ?
    Most likely old fuel has crudded the lines, tank & carb, so those will need to be pulled cleaned, any info, pointers you can provide will be helpful ?
    Any parts suppliers reccomended ?
    There is a Honda dealer local to me, but haven't check in with them just yet.

    A battery that old will most likely need replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased for less than $20.00 dry. You'll have to buy battery acid from a local auto parts store to fill it up. Be certain to charge it up afterwards. The original NOS green batteries are hard to find. www.bikebandit.com sells oem replacements and DR.ATV sells aftermarket replacements.

    If you're not set on a stock battery, there are sealed batteries available.

    www.dratv.com and www.hondanuts.com are two good suppliers for aftermarket and OEM parts that you may need.
