Thanks - Reread the article - Guess 1966 was later then 1962. I was 16 when they did the ride but knew about Hodakas from the beginning. I remember a lot of stories - probably Adds talking about the Hodakas being so small going where the other bikes feared to go - or something like that. Quite the r...

OK I remember the Hub Bub when it first happened and seeing many write ups over the years but I can't exactly remember the actual names and dates and surprisingly enough I can not find it on the internet and thumbing through the Hodaka Book I didn't see it. I'm sure many of you know the real spec's....

OK Thanks - I guess I'm not as bad off as I thought. LBM

Has anyone gotten their frame powder coated- Wombat/ 01/02 size frame? If so did they charge the frame and the swing arm as separate pieces ?? If so what did it cost?? Thanks - LBM

Well so much for Charts vs actual. I dug out the 21/18 Road toad wheels which I believe are stock and measured the interior width with a Caliper. I found a DID mark on both rims and a 1.85 mark on the rear. The front 21 measured 1.57 width inside about right for a 250/21 tire vs 1.85 in the chart fo...

Thanks for the input I finally found a rim width chart on the web - 2.75 - 3.10 Tire = 1.85" wide rim, 3.25 - 3.60 Tire = 2.15 wide rim & & 4.00 Tire = 2.50 wide rim. I knew there was a standard just wondering what it was when I was looking at new rims. Any one stick a 4:00- 19 on a &qu...

Thanks Rich - always a way with your skills. Looks Cool! LBM

Been looking and kinda find bits and pieces - But------ What I'm looking for is - what is the correct rim width for 3:00/21 front and 3:50/18 rear rims? For non nobby - dual sport type tyres. Also is it any different for 19" front 18"rear if I decide to go for the Flat Track look - how big...

It might be sacrilegious but - - - Has any one put a front disc brake on the front of a Wombat????? If so what did you use - wheel - disc - master cyl , caliper???


I know it's not legal to race. Just wondering. Might be more trouble then it's worth but might be interesting!

I could use a Road Toad complete harness, I have an 01 Squirt that I'm converting to road legal so an 02 Toad harness should work good for that.

So a few people looked at the post but no comments - curious.

If you want to read a pretty good write up on the why and where-to-for on reading spark plugs then pick up a copy of the current - June 2018 issue of Hot Rod magazine. There is an article called Spark Plug Reading 101 written by a guy - Don Ward - who has been in the spark plug business for 40 or so...

Also if you do an online search for oil mixing ratios there are a lot of charts and even some calculators - but it is a very good thing to know how to do it "Old School" like Clarence explained! LBM

Good Idea I'm going to need one pretty soon. I checked EBay and found them and then I checked Amazon and found the same thing for about $5 but free shipping. Turned out to be a few dollars less total price so I picked up a couple there.

I just found out that a DVD was made of last years CZ/Harry Taylor Cup race and is now available. You can check it out at - CZRiders.com or https://czriders.com/2017-dvd-1. Down load is about $8.00 & DVD hard copy is $27-28 bucks or so. I checked out the site and it looks like it will likely be ...

OK - Thanks. LBM

Thanks - any idea of the month???? Jan 1 2006 or???

LBM

Just curious - when was the Hodaka club first formed and dues were first charged - someone knows

LBM

I want one also! LBM

Hard to loose that many trees but it doesn't sound like any one was hurt and maybe no structure damage??

Anyone hear how Paul "S" is doing after the Tornado hit them????

LBM

I think Paul sells block off plates, possibly Dan over @ Hodaka-Parts and Bruce Young @ Hodakaparts also have them. I also seem to remember seeing them on Ebay but as you said if you have a few skills all it takes is a simple block off plate and a gasket or some "goo"!

Cool - never noticed that before. LBM

Just saw it was up on the Club Page - it worked good for me on my desk top. But--- is it just partially up? I didn't see the For Sale and archive sections.
