Re: Rat Fender Tweek!

My opinion is the fender is bent upward as the fender mount/number plate bracket coming off the frame loop is also bent upward. A rat fender should have a consistent radius distance from the fender edge to the tire (4" on my 93B). You can heat the fender and re-radius, but lots of patience is r...

Re: Twin Rat Restoration

Couple notes:
Only the 93 B came with cleated foot pegs. The 93,93A, 93B DID NOT have the brake switch mounting holes on the front backing plate.
The correct backing plate is an elusive part to find.

Re: 93b Rat Exhaust Pipe

I have considered building a 93B pipe as you indicated. I have the original pipe but the spark arrestor was cut off and a stinger welded on, effectively making it a 93A pipe. The irony!

Re: Nitto Knobbies

My 93B Rat purchased from the original owner came with Riken tires, which were installed by the dealer. The Nitto knobs are not very deep so some dealers swapped out for the deeper knobs of the Riken or Yokahama. The rear Riken is the correct 3.25x18 and in near NOS condition. The front however was ...

Re: Hodaka Headlight

Correct. A 35/35w would work in a road toad and wombat, not an ace100 or B+ which requires a 15/15w

I purchased a NOS tool kit & pouch 3 years ago on Ebay for $100. Contains a 420 master link and carb main jets specific to a Ace 100B+. Recent NOS tool kit sold for $249(wow) but I do not think it had the master link and jets. Yes they are hard to find and prices apparently are going up. Check E...

Re: super rat fenders

The Ace 100B+ front fender is identical to the 93 Super Rat with the exception of lower holes and an inner support strap predrilled for a mud flap. Some options I have done on restorations; remove the lower strap, fill the holes with stainless rod and polish. Metal shop did this for me for $40. Hoda...
