1958 Honda C70

[jadahonda]

I have finaly got my 58 model C70 home to Norway after much "paperwork". After a few months, I have not found so much info on the bike, so if anyone have some information about them, please let me know.

I will come back with more info later. There is some wrong and missing parts, but not so much.

It is bike no. 6941 of 27253 produced.

Hi,

I really admire your perseverance to get such a nice bike to Europe.
Your one of a few, I will look into my books and manuals to see if I can find something about these nice bikes,

Thanks.
Yes, there is probably not more than a handful of this in europe, and the one and only here in Norway.
At first sign, it looks much like a C71, but when you start to study the parts, there is very much who is different.
I have bought a later C71 left muffler from Jelle, and need a right ones. I am still not sure how different the early and late muffler is, but hopefully I can modify the later ones to looks like the early.
So, if someone have a right C71 muffler for sale please let me know

Love the bike. I've seen just one or two. Someone made New Stainless C71 mufflers, I'd have to track them down, fairly expensive, but probably worth it. I do have a copy of the owners manual somewhere here... Great find! Paul

I will try to get an original C71 muffler before I buy an stainless, if I find one.... The owners handbook you have, is it in japaneze or english?

I got out to look at the little manuals, one is C71/C76 and the other is C90, both in English...

Hi,

better late then never, I found a parts manual for these bikes and a repair manual. The repair manual in in Dutch, but the parts manual is printed in English

This copy is printed in 1959, the parts price is printed behind the part number, boy, I wish I owned a time machine,
