    fork may be bent...unless your frame is, i say forks, the wheels to close to the motor.

    That a 70? Your frame is bent putting the tire too close to the motor.

    check underneath you fuel tank for a bent frame...teh 70's had a tendency to bend under the tank which causes the tire /fender to rub the motor

    If the frame is bent, will that be an expensive fix?

    Do you know how to weld?
    You'd be better off buying a new frame for it.

    No. The easiest way to fix it would be to just pull the tank and have the bent piece cut out and a new pice of pipe welded in. I would slide a smaller pipe inside the bent section and weld that in there too for extra strength. You can also get a good used frame and swap everything over. I did the frame swap on the last 70 I had because I found a used frame for $20 close enough for me to pick up.

    Less than 500$ for anything that runs is ok.

    Are you sure that the front tire is the correct size??

    sounds like I something I would do...

    I woulda stripped it down and changed frames without even thinkin about the air pressure! YES by all means,,, try letting some air outta the tire FIRST! but I guess it wouldn't hurt to look over the frame real good for cracks.
