Great work Rick !! He is the future and you are a great teacher to instill the correct lessons in life.

Thank you Steve. Your reputation has you as a "great guy" in the sport and I can verify this. I promise that you will not be disappointed in meeting the new buyer. Gives him and his wife a great reason to get a passport and visit your beautiful country.I hope to meet you someday face to fa...

Thank you Steve I have them posted here now. I sent you an email today also Steve about a great friend in Oregon that would love to speak with you about this bike please.
Thanks

Crazy long shot but I need to ask you... Do you have access to or know of anyone who may have a copy of October 1972 Cycle Canada :-) I told you it is a crazy long shot but while I had your attention and know that you have been around the Canadian motorcycle scene for a while you might know of someo...

Thank you Steve i look forward to seeing your photos!! I am not familiar with Rick Russell but I do know that Terry Faust was the owner of Gemini Industries as well as the Canadian Distributor of Hodaka motorcycles. Terry has passed so the information I have about the Challenger and Gemini is a litt...

Hi Steve,
If you email the photos to
[email protected] please I can get them posted for you.
Gemini was the distributor for these bikes and they were located in Vancouver BC.

Does your bike look like the one in the photo??
Thanks for your post
Paul

As always Ed is dead on correct. One thing I missed is that the frames.chassis were made by Sprite
Thanks
Paul

Hi Steve you must be from Canada??
Cool bikes !! They were called the Hodaka Challenger

Great to know Rich I had never heard that before. Always time in life to learn new things. This makes all in life fresh. Thanks for sharing this..

Several Hodaka dealers did build three wheelers for their customers.Larry in Iowa was one of the larger dealers to do so.

As I make a lateral move from Strictly Hodaka into the Preston Petty Products it is becoming clearer and clearer to me that the projects that i thought were so important maybe are not as important as I had once thought. Collection parts for Hodaka's for over thirty years has given me a ton of fun an...

Hi Victor, If you are a current Hodaka Club member we are still offering specific Hodaka Club Member discounts. https://www.strictlyhodaka.com/Bundles-Kits-Club-Member-Specials-s/1861.htm As you can see there are no Hodaka Club member discounts for tank badges or wrist pin cir clips. Did you see the...

Victor the Ace 90/Ace100 (68'/69') speedometer cables are gray and shorter. The Ace 100 B and B+ as well as the 1972 Wombat (94) are all the same length and are also gray. The 1973 (94A) Wombat, 1976 (03) Wombat, Road Toads (99 &02) are also the same length as the Ace 100B ,B+ and (94) Wombat bu...

Yes Matt I do but I see you just ordered one
Thank you Matt

The "nuts" on the speedometer cables that allow the cable to mate to the drive unit are all the same size. The same goes for the "nut" that allows the cable to mate to the bottom of the speedometer these nuts are all the same also. There is a difference between the nut size for t...

I was planning on calling you one of these days
Let me nail down the specifics and will post them all here within a day or so.
I promise it will be a great event.
Thanks Dale
Paul

Thank you Kelly for posting this here !! You beat me to it.
See you in April
Thank you
Paul

see you there !

Beautiful job Dale !!! Gorgeous bike !!

Thanks guys I am not looking for sympathy or thanks. The world has seemed to change with everyone wanting everything yesterday. I just cannot do it anymore. I am old and need to stay focused on things to try and get it right. Running three business's is becoming a challenge now a days. What prompted...

I have posted this before on this forum and in the Resonator but once again feel the need to make my intentions clear with the future of Strictly Hodaka motorcycles. We have been involved with selling and reproducing since 1986. For many many years I ran our catering,deli,sausage company and also di...

Thanks Rob but it needs a lot of work. We are trying to spend time with it daily..

I would only be guessing sorry. I do not yet have one of my 250 SL's on the road.

My 175SL uses a 15 tooth counter shaft sprocket and a 46 tooth rear sprocket. The transmission has the same gearing as the 250SL except the 250SL has a straight cut primary gear. With my new carb I am able to run the bike at 60 mph easy for a long while. No porting has been done to the engine.

Bill that throttle cable was missing from the Ace 100B+ schematics that is why Rob could not find it. Thank you for pointing this out though.
I just updated the Ace 100B+ cable page thanks Rob for pointing this out.
I am working on adding the 250 sprockets now to the website.... Never ends
