Victor you are correct they are RFY shocks, and they are fake! when setting up the frame I needed shocks, and at $40 I figured why not. Lol I know I should have known better, but they were the length I needed. When I first got them I pressed the schrader valve and barely a hiss came out. But at leas...

Thank you Clarence and Ed, I greatly appreciate your comments. Ed I am going for the "biggies" lol, I want to build the bike I wished for as a kid! What every kid riding a Sears mini bike with a 3 1/2 hp Brigs and Straton would want back then! Now that I am older and have tools, I figured ...

I was wondering what modifications you would do, to a model 94 125 wombat for vintage racing?
My frame is almost ready,and I was wondering what modifications were being done back in the day.
Thanks Gary

I just came across a new video on the history of Hodaka that was pretty good.
Thought I would post a link to it.

Max, great story and great vintage photo! I hope when i finish my bike i will have the strength to throw a leg over it let alone do a 2 hour enduro. You sir are a true iron man. Dirty_rat , Great hearing what modifications you did back in the day. and another great vintage photo. Bullfrog, Thanks fo...

So many great stories and photo's!
The stories you all could tell, and the knowledge in the group would fill a book!

Well i see that things are slow, so I might as well tell my tail. I honestly don't remember when I came across it, just a frozen up motor. Probably 30 years ago cant even remember how it came into my possession. It was different it was a Hodaka. I Thought at the time it would make a cool lamp. Just ...

Gentlemen , Thank you very much for your advice.
dirty_rat thanks for pointing out the 94 prefix on the schematic.
If I cant get a complete clutch, it will be very helpful piecing one together.

Hello all, my project bike a model 94 needs a compleat clutch. I was wondering if a model 94 and 94A clutch were the only clutch assemblies that would fit. Thanks Gary

I just ordered the rebuild kit, while doing the job my laptop will be on the workbench with this video playing!
Thanks again.

Matt I would love to see your mounting brackets, I am looking for options for mounting them.
Thanks Gary

Hello all, I have been setting up a vintage race bike, and like the way this bike looks. while trying to form side number plates I ran into a problem. when i formed the plate around the shocks, it stuck out too far and did not look right. after looking closer at photos of the bike , I noticed the to...

very nice bike

all welded up Swingarm stayed level and square and it wasan't as bad a job as I thought it would be.

I added a photo of the finished swingarm, with the bracing for strength.

a grinder and cutoff wheel was used to cut off ears plates held ears in line and level
2 inch sections tacked in place

I was looking for methods to lengthen a swingarm, and could not find much information. So I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I was looking for a way to keep everything square and level, and this is what I came up with. after checking that the swingarm was square and level on each end, I tac...

have you tried it with pipe running on other side of bike?

Matt Thank you very much ,Your help is very appreciated !
These are the measurements of the housing.

. On left is the reed valve body that came with head piston and cylinder. I could not find any names on it. Still looking for reed block to fit.

Thank you for your comment Matt !
I have another question, about the front end.
It is a 30mm front end and I would like to upgrade it.
I was wondering what front ends fit from other bikes?or a replacement that wont break the bank. lol

Photo of my "Frankenstein" project.
So far the result of limited knowledge and far too many tools.

this is the housing I have.

Thank you Bullfrog for the welcome. I am in the process of building a bike for local vintage races. Started with a 125 wombat motor, and picked up a Head, reed valve cylinder and ported piston. I have the reed valve body that came with it, but no reed block. the body has 4 holes to mount to cylinder...
