SUITCASE CYCLES
This new and unique kit is now available to owners of full size 50-cc, 70-cc and 90-cc Hondas for quick conversion to suitcase cycles which can be transported as baggage in light airplanes, boats, campers and automobiles.
No special tools are required, and converting the Honda consists mainly of replacing a small number of original Honda parts with S & k manufactured parts. Assembly or disassembly takes only three minutes and can be accomplished without the aid of special tools. Included in the kits are quick disconnects for the frame, seat, throttle cable, brake cable and wiring. Also available is a folding brake pedal, folding footpegs and vinyl covers. The significant reduction of dimensions has not adversely affected appearance or performance. The conversion kit enables the Honda to be reduced to four separate units the main frame, the front wheel and fork assembly, the rear wheel (chain unaffected) and the seat. The main frame is carried in a fiberglass tray, (with two small wheels), and secured by shock cords. Kits are available for four Honda models-Cl00 (50ec), CM70 (70cc), CM91 (90cc), and CT90 (90cc Trailbike).
Two suitcase cycles can be carried in the rear of a station wagon by disconnecting the front section and seat. For carrying in a light plane, the rear wheel must also be removed and folding footpegs and brake lever installed.
Kit prices start at $59.95. Additional information is available by writing to S & K Suitcase Cycle, Dept. CW-11, 3013 Airport Blvd., Santa Monica Municiple Airport, Santa Monica, CA.

TELESCOPIC TIE BARS
Cycle Products of Calif, has announced a totally new concept in securing motorcycles and mini-bikes. Unlike products now available, this new securing device will hold motorcycles while being transported without the use of straps, chains or ropes.
Cycle-Ty is engineered to secure motorcycles using pyramid leverage from the handlebars to the floor. Securing clamps are provided for use on the handlebars or grips and are coated with a rugged, heat-resistant, rubber-like plastic to prevent wear or damage to grips or chrome handlebars. A telescopic adjustment (from 28 in. to 48 in.) with locking wing screws makes for easy loading. In using this concept, leverage is applied to the front and rear wheels to completely secure the motorcycle.
Cycle-Ty can be installed in minutes to trucks, campers and trailers, and is fully detachable when not in use. Completely detailed installation instructions are included with each unit.
The new Cycle-Ty was designed to accommodate the small bike owner and is recommended for cycles up to 250cc. Due to its rugged construction, eight months of testing proved them very substantial.
Retail price is SI 6.95. Available through your favorite motorcycle dealer or contact Cycle Products of Calif., Dept. CW-1 1, 11413 E. Firestone Blvd., Norwalk,CA90650.
