Install Spacer

This is the hardest part of the assembly.  You can feel the excitement build as you now realize how easy it is to put together.   Just insert the wheel spacer and axle.

Engage Hub

Be sure to have the hub engage the new inverted CT70 forks.  Install the flanged Axle nut.  Be very careful not to 'kink' the speedometer cable or else it could suffer damage and break later.       As a matter of fact, it's actually better to unscrew the speedometer cable from the hub before installation to save any possibility of damage to the cable core.

Cable Straps

Next install the Cable Straps to keep your speedometer cable and front brake cable from flopping around.  Keep in mind we stock a better cable holder (wire type) It works great and bolts up to the same screw holes.

Hook Up Rear Shocks

Just hook up the rear shocks by removing the washer.  Remember only one washer goes on the rear and it fits on the outside of the shock.  Do not over tighten the shock bolts.  Use Loctite to keep vibration from backing the nuts off.

Pop The Seat

Now you want to pop the seat to access the battery box area.  Please note that our Trail Bikes are available with trail tires instead of only street.  *Please specify this when you are ordering. (options limited to stock)

Disclaimer:
      Please Remember that it is the customers responsibility to check ALL bolts, nuts and screws for looseness before & after riding.  An excellent solution for assembly is Loctite brand thread locker.  Loctite is a liquid that is applied to bolt threads to prevent them from vibrating loose.  Loctite may be purchased at any hardware or automotive store.  We recommend Loctite #242 for all general hardware and Loctite #243 for areas that encounter grease, oil and other lubricants.  If you own a motorcycle you are going to want to own some Loctite!  The instructions below are meant to help guide you and are no substitution for reading the manual and practicing safe mechanical habits.  Please acknowledge that Retrobikes.com is not responsible for disassembly, misrepresentation, overlooked details and shall be held harmless and free from any liability for any advice and instruction provided.
