Hi relic, are you still on club site?

There's several amazing details about this trip you kicked this thread off with. One is he slept in a trapper's cabin in AK and had some snow in May-June to contend with. His trip was up into Fairbanks.

Hi Dale, Where is the Wheeler Alaska Fairing today? Going to the Athena museum I hope? Cool photo.

Matt, here you go. Spoiler alert, 1963 CC. So many wonderful restorations.

They have a PABATCO Cotton on display and rotate Rozee’s Yamaguchi’s. It’s a dream experience.

Here’s a Rickman Metisse frame chart from FB showing frame differences.
Z or H stamp is a dead ringer.

I’m no expert but believe all Rickman Hodaka were all blue glass and tanks were glass, with indent at gas cap ( seeking one btw), not metal.

Thanks Bruce Young at Hodaka Parts Idaho for helping on this.

Anyone have a badly damaged (or sacrificial) model 92, Ace 100 OEM expansion pipe they can sell the bolt in chrome end? Chart R, Items 66-69. PM if can. Thx.

Book says 200 made and handful came to US. Please send frame & engine no’s on thread or Bruce Young who is doing a list. Be nice to know numbers and ~qty.

Is there an ex-dealer or personal list of Hodaka’s OEM tires used for each model (& year-if changes) with Nitto model no. to merge w/ sizes on HPI and other sources? With as many owners and quality restorations done, it’d be surprising some list doesn’t exists. If anyone has, can you upload it? ...

The search us over.

correct tire model is #86, if that caused confusion. Thx

Does anyone have a good used 3.00x17 Nitto 86 universal rear tire available? Last item to correct and rebuild an 69’ Ace 100. Please PM me if you can help. Thx

Trying to correct some bikes, AND yes, tried the main options first.
Plz PM me if anyone can help with:
Dunlop 3.50x17 universal trials tire
92 rear- Nitto 3.00 x 17
100 B+ Rear- Nitto 3.50 x 18
95- Rear Nitto 3.50 x 18 NT-117 knobby
Thx!

Plenty of Super Bee decals out there- Might have add a rebrand 71 to the growing list of projects!

Sorry to be MIA on thread- travel and log in challenges last wk. I’d talked to Vancouver WA bike seller- his frame & motor are Ace 100. Listed as SR b/c said bike titled as such - odd for non- street legal bike. Thanks everyone for the input. The frame no is B37348, an early 69’. Assuming M-moto...

Kudo's to Thal for a 69' SR roller frame. Does anyone have correct M- motor or inner, stamped case to work with? 1969's as I understand engine numbers started with 1001 and were 2800, so ended around M-3800. Would be a bid help to build a good rider. Have most major remaining parts. Thx!

Is anyone in the Hodaka circle willing & able to do aluminum case welding repair for some 8-15ea? Referrals of specialty guru welcome too. Thx

Hodaka- most modified bikes so Ive read. Well here one....What front end and shocks & hub are mix-match on this Yamaguchi frame?

Flyin like a butterfly, stingin like a Super Bee! Thx Kelly.

Matt & Joe,

Photobucket has this bike of avatarrdbrooks14 CW. Seems sticker floated to Lindell’s Ace. Was frame/bike do you recall seeing it on? thx

Here’s a ref on this forum, at bottom. Bike I saw was 100B/+ , the plot thickens, as they say. User avatarrdbrooks14 Re: We just lost another good guy! Mon Nov 30, 2015 8:57 am Harlan was the first person I worked with when I did my Hodaka Redo in 2002. He became a good friend and Mentor to me. I sp...

He showed me a front-exhaust side angle picture of the bike. Sticker and air can features were not visible. He bought 2years ago, the sticker pealed to point of removal by seller before Lindell but said outline of it was 5”. Wow, it’s a real adaptation bike. Cool it’s verified. If anyone has photos ...

HC, Returned to Hodakaland (EO), and spoke to an old Hodaka dealer, Lindell’s in Pendleton. The owner opined he had a Super Bee. Said it’s a 71-2’ Chrome tank Ace 100 w/ SR like air can and a 4-5” dia Super Bee sticker on top of tank by seat. Said it was a limited group at end of the Ace run. Does a...

Clarence, unable to find these photos? Thx

Does anyone know a custom gasket builder that can do these sandwich copper plated head gaskets with impregnated fiber in between? Note the copper bottom came un-laminated from shipping but was a single piece off the motor. Tried Cal Stender and coppergaskets.us- neither can do. Thx in advance.
