Motorcycle Repair: Honda CT70, honda ct70, lock cylinder


Question
I have a 1972 Honda Ct70 but cannot find the key for it is there anyway to get another one? And where can I find one. Also if I need any parts for it where is the best place to find manuals?

Answer
Jeff,
 Here is a link to the manual:

You can either try to locate another ignition switch with it's key OR take the lock cylinder to a locksmith and have him fit a key to it or cut a new key to new tumblers.  My strong suggestion, remove the lock cylinder and fit a makeshift knob to the ignition switch, bypassing the key altogether OR permanently connect the leads to each other and eliminate the ignition switch entirly.  As for parts, you'll have to do some research on the internet.  I found the link to a manual in just a couple of minutes.

Good luck,
Mike
