Congratulations to Ken Crites of Huntington Beach for winning Bike of the Month with his 1970 Honda CT70 Custom. Ken won a $20.00 Beach Burgers gift certificate provided by Beach Burgers.
Ken tied for Second back in November when he brought this bike for the first time. Our meet seems to have a soft spot for these mini Hondas.
He purchased the chassis two years ago and he started to go through it, cleaning up every weld and covering every hole. The Monster is powered by a 160cc LIFAN four stroke engine fed by a 20mm Mikui carb.
With a 2 inch extended swingarm, air shocks and inverted forks, nothing on this bike is stock. Mike Chiavetta helped with creating the seven custom hand laid carbon fiber parts and Grant Lappe machined the front fender stantions. Mike and Grant are both from Huntington Beach and no strangers to the custom scene.
Thanks Ken for bringing this cool bike to our meet. View all the photos in our January Gallery.
