picked this thing up for 500 needs the pull cord replaced and a new shifter other wise its in nice shape these are really rare around here so i think it was a fair price 141843141844 its pretty clean previous owner kinda butchered the rear fender a bit but it has a lot of the warning decals and all 3 tires still have the nibs on them. the handle bar is also a little tweaked ill be bending that back.

Its not a bad looking 70 you got there. Yeah I guess the air filter does kinda look like a dish washing sponge. It should have a hole a hair bigger than the tube that goes through the filter.

thats probly not the best on it, dependin on the conditions and how often you ride it. thats just lettin the dirt get in your motor and chew it up easier

They are few and far between around these parts as well, that seems to be a pretty standard price for a clean little 70 around my area... If you want it, and have the money to do it, then I would say you did just fine! (and it looks like the frame isnt even bent!)

$500-600 in complete running condition around my area it seems. I was luckY to pick two up complete non-running for $200.

If the front fender isn't rubbing the engine, I would say you are doing good... (or at least better than me and my 70)

Not worth it for that price. missing parts, bent handle bar. IDK.

so far it needs a pull start spring (my fault). air filter, shifter and a carb rebuild kit. i rode it around today up the drive way. very quiet! i figure ill be in 600 for it by the time I'm done but they are pricey here theres one listed in a lot worse shape then mine for 1500 and another in slightly better for 1500 LOL

^^ I think that is! My OEM filter is grey foam, and resembles a "magic eraser" more than a sponge....
