Re: Shocks recommendations
Make 1 (or 2) temporary wood 'shocks' for the roller. Different lengths can help determine the length of real shocks you will eventually need.

Re: Thank You Dale!!!
Cellophane was the traditional material for setting the points. A little tape piece for a 'handle' on the cellophane strip helps you put the gentle pressure on it to feel when the points just begin to open.

Re: Source for complete bike?
I have picked up numerous project bikes by placing ads in area market place type sites. My typical ad says "ISO old Hodaka motorcycle for restoration project. Cash paid" . A 'teaser' picture with the ad helps. I'm working on 2 100B's right now that I got in this manner. Where are you, Ammo...

Re: Back to reed valve jetting on a Super Rat
I reeded & ported numerous 93 SRs following the REED CAREFULLY pamphlet from PABATCO and never found it necessary to change the pilot jet of the stock carb, only the main jet.

Re: Cylinder Porting
The Reed Carefully brochure helped turn many Hodakas into a 'different animal'. Chainsaw files and rat tail files (sometimes chucked into a reciprocating saw) gave the low budget operation some options.

Re: Rat Fender Tweek!
The Super Rat fender lacks the holes for tail light mounting; and, yes, that fender looks like the common result of over zealous wheelie attempts!

Re: Kick start oil leak
Thanks for the clarification, Clarence. My 1930 HD had the total loss oiling and required the hubcap catch pan. Any effort to stop the Hodaka kickshaft leak without opening the cases would be my first effort.

Re: Christmas luck
I keep telling my wife that all this Hodaka collecting is cheaper than team roping and probably boating. Just picked up a 90 and B last week.
