Larry, in a good note, might you’ve seen their Yamaguchi’s 250 YMB, SPB, or Cotton Cobra- as those all came thru PABATCO to represent the Distributors overall contributions.

Re: Seeking Webco Big Bore kit piston

He said version 1 only lasted a ~5 months then did this version 2, Jensen head and Curnutt shocks in Swenco front end but kept Arnaco shocks as they sponsored him. He said they acted poorly so eventually put curnutts on back also. Hard to believe an evolving Hodaka!

Re: Seeking Webco Big Bore kit piston

Well, tank mystery solved. I posted and picked brains for a good 6+ mos. Sometimes, you have to go to the 'source' and Jody was very responsive and helpful. Its was a Cycle Craft tank and found one in NY. I'm torn a bit as it yellow, as his backup Super Rat so have to paint. He did 3 generation of h...

Re: Seeking Webco Big Bore kit piston

Thanks Captain.

They bolt from top. The profile and RH...

Re: Seeking Webco Big Bore kit piston

JW’s article says Clarke tank but they looked at pic and said not do that one. Maybe staff changed over but not seen another Hodaka w/ that tank. Some say CZ sidewinder. Other than piston, Tank is only part not in hand.
Trivia question: what is this tank and who has one can sell?

Re: Seeking Webco Big Bore kit piston

Yes, I wouldn't be seeking a specific piston for an otherwise complete top end for a stated replica build because its a good use of time. Only If anyone out there has one or may know some leads, then PM me as per the original post. Thanks in advance.

This was good test as IRC's are more available to if tread correct, can use them and technically OEM. The F1 has 1 Nitto back and Taisei Front. The latter being a new name...
