The Honda CT series had a very long production life and was sold all over the world so parts are world wide available. Ripoff versions are still made by other companies. Sadly most of them don't...

Breather tubes on the transmission, transfer case, and differentials like you put on the Sammi. Re-grease the u-joints at the end of the days I did water crossings. Check the transmission, transfer...
