Good information Joe, thank you !

The Captain is right, check with Hodaka parts.com and see what Terry has. The models 97,98,99,01and 02 have the same part number for their fork tubes. Frank’s Forks was closed for a while when they moved but it looks like they’re back up and running when I looked at their website.As far as the quali...

Google Franks Forks and give them a call. I think they would have them or could make them. Might be worth a try ?

Pretty neat looking bike Max. Reminds me of a late war all metal finished P51.

I like the color ! I think it will look great when it’s all together.

Awesome build Max ! That should be a fun and reliable woods machine.

In today’s market $300 is hard to pass up !

You really do nice work Max. The B+ is my favorite model, definitely would like to find the right one for a future project.
My current project on the bench is a trials bike and while not a Hodaka it does entertain and keep me in one of my favorite places.

Looks like another cool project Victor. I think Max and you have blood hound instincts for finding Hodakas !

I always enjoy your projects Max and as usual it’s looking great ! I saw your post on the fb page and thought I’d better check in over here.
Glad to see and read that all is well at the Hodaka Max homestead.

Congrats on the upgrade Matt. It’s something I haven’t done yet but know that I should. It seems when I pull this out that I get looks from passerby’s like I just stepped out of my Flintstone car lol.

Wow ! That is a really well sorted nice bike.

That’s a pretty cool tech tip and I’m sure it made your day.
Thanks for sharing !

I don’t know how to attach a link on this iPad thingy so here is a pic of a place that sounds like they might maybe be able to reline them. I might check with them for doing my ossa plonker front shoes.

I know some of the guys in the U.K. that are on Trials Central have their old brake shoes re-lined up to the spec of their worn hubs. I don’t know if anyone does it here in the states but maybe an option.

Stever has the best solution for the offending pivot bolt. Good idea .

One more.

Stole this from somewhere because it made me laugh.

Duh ! I just saw the M. Allen on the front of the bike in that last pic. I was too busy looking at the rest of the bike lol. I’m sure as well as the whole bike is crafted that the internals of the engine are set up very well for trials.

I’ve seen pics of this bike many times when browsing the web. If I recall correctly the builders name is Mike Allen (?). Just curious if anyone has seen the bike in action and if the cooling idea works ? I have thought about using just a small fan to keep air moving over the head at a trials pace th...

I found this...sorry, not the piston.

That is a really cool replica project and just as cool is the story of Harry winning the Honda car !
Thanks for sharing.

I second JB weld. I’ve used it for the same type of repair About ten years ago and it’s still holding up. Cheap, easy and effective for a rider.

That turned out really nice ! I had an 02 kdx200 and it was an awesome bike, should have kept it. They pull down low real good and rip on the top.
