Re: Feedback on Template Please! COMPLETED

et al,

If you are still getting the old image, more than likely, your browser cache is caching the headers for the Forum website. It will eventually clear and you should see the new image within a few hours. The image Gary posted above is the image you should see, eventually.

Gary, I believe you just need to edit the image that is used as the banner and add the image Dale is referring to and render it down into a single image. When completed, simply upload the file to the same location where the existing image is, (assuming it is saved under a different name), and change...

Re: Feedback on Template Please!

hodaka Forum Navigation.png PHPBB takes images and places them to span the entire width of the page where they are located unless you put boundaries on the image. The expanded space is transparent, but anything underneath it is not accessible, but still visible. The Banner needs to go somewhere else.

Re: Exhaust diameter questions......

Victor, Yes, it will fit. It will fit inside the exhaust manifold. Cut off only the flange though. You’ll want to leave as much of the pipe behind the flange as possible. I have a CW top end on my wombat and used a 94 pipe for awhile. The problem is that you will find the 94 pipe a bit restrictive. ...

I can build the wire harnesses for you, with the correct connectors. I already have the Ace 100 harness ready.

Re: Carb cleaning tools!

I’ve seen many of those tank mounting bosses that are not drilled all the way through. If not drilled through the thread area is too narrow for a tap to be useful. Highly recommend just drilling the hole straight through. When I broke a tap in that same location, I used a punch and just punched it o...

Re: Another 1-down, 4 up shift case question

Matt, The “HODAKA” shift cover will fit any 5-speed transmission. It will not work on an Ace 90 because they are 4-speed transmissions. You could convert an Ace 90 to 5-speed with a little machining, and then you can use a 5-speed cover or covert the Ace 90 cover to a 5-speed, again with a little ma...

Re: Another 1-down, 4 up shift case question

Started with the Ace 100b+ I believe. Maybe as an option or standard. Not sure. 94/94A/95 Wombats and later for sure. All chrome tank super rats were 1 up 4 down. The 1down/4 up came available during the 93B and Ace100B+ run, for the Wombats so it’s possible some of them got the better shifter. All ...

Re: Naval Jelly Before & After

When you repaint this, I would highly suggest a ceramic high-heat paint. You will like it. It gives a nice satin sheen that is very durable. I saw a couple pipes painted with a ceramic high heat paint at HD a couple years ago and they were beautiful. I re-painted my Model 94 pipe and it remains blac...
