EP12 - Honda C70 EXTERNAL FORK SPRINGS

- In this episode I replace the standard internal shocks with some YSS shocks. I mount the externally inline with the front axle to reduce the classic Cub front end bounce.

Great video. I have two Super Cubs from the 60s and a C70 Passport. I like the look of the bikes with the forks on the front but the metal is so thin I just wonder with repeated jolts if the bracket might start splitting the metal they're welded to.
Hi, the super Cub is my favourite hence the resto and no modifications other than the engine which is a bolt on mod. When we got the bike it had a 110cc aftermarket lump but I have sourced an original 50cc Honda engine which will go back in at some point. Regarding the front shocks, while doing my research I noticed all sorts of mounts have been used with no issues. Even so, when designing mine I made sure to take this into account. The majority of the forces are in shear I.e parallel to the surface of the fork. There is a small rotational moment about the bolt hole but nothing really that would require and kind of stiffening IMO. While designing the bracket I took these forces into account and that is why I settled on the shape I did. I have also welded the Inner brackets to the seam of the fork adding additional strength. All of this hopefully translates to a very strong anchor point.
@@metalmorfcustoms I appreciate the details of the mod. My 83 Passport actually has 53k miles on it. These things really hold up over time.
Wow that’s crazy! I have heard they are bullet proof. I will be using mine for some commuting next year hopefully.
Hi,
Seeing as this video is now 11 months old, I assume it is on the road now? If so can you give me your opinion on the ride quality on these springs? Reducing the classic front ends bounce, and how firm is the front end ride?
I am currently trying to find external suspension options for my cub build and struggling for any feedback from people that have done the conversion.
Many thanks
Hi George,
Not finished yet unfortunately, I’ve had to look after my son who had a bad accident. He’s on the mend now so I will be starting back out there. I have risen the bike though before I pulled it apart the last time and they feel nice compared to the originals, they have eliminated the lift when braking that the originals did. Not as good as a normal set of forks obviously but I’m happy with them.
Thanks for following along
Cómo se instalan en la llanta. gracias
Hi, I will do a video on what’s needed soon. There will be 2 spacers needed that allow the axle bolt to be tightened without pinching the lower shock mounts.

Hi, they are YSS springs. I got them from EBay.

Hello, I have a C50 with some modifications. I'm from Peru, and I would like to send you some photos so you can give me some improvement ideas.
Hi, feel free to email me. My email is in the About section.
Tengo una c70 modificada se amplió el tren delantero y se pusieron los amortiguadores sobre el eje que va en el centro y quedó demasiado rígida la amortiguación se podría decir q no amortigua. Por fa espero respuesta si lo hago tal cual cómo está en el video como lo instalo a la llanta gracias
