Erick Your seat pan actually looks pretty good.. Mine was a mess ...I had it sandblasted the cracks drilled and brazed, a new mounting tab fabricated and some missing cover tabs attached where they were missing. To help reinforce it I had some additional 1/2 inch wide metal strips attached to the fo...

Couple notes: Only the 93 B came with cleated foot pegs. The 93,93A, 93B DID NOT have the brake switch mounting holes on the front backing plate. The correct backing plate is an elusive part to find . LC4mike Are you sure? The early 93 I have does have the mounting holes in the front plate and the ...

Posting for a friend of a friend..
Looking for an ACE project bike on the East Coast. If you have one you wont get to and need some more room in your shop let me know. He is looking for one to restore..

Thanks

loosen the pinch bolts on the bottom of the forks put a screw driver through the hole in the axle on the right side and unscrew the axle

buy a good set of left hand drill bits and extractors for your broken bolts...i have a set from Hanson..often time the left handed drill bit will remove the broken bolt

See you there....I'll be unveiling the Super Rat at the Hodaka Club Booth and the CW will be in the show this year...

is that a mount for the coil on the yellow frame?...i didnt think that the 1970 rats had them...the coil is mounted to the frame with a removable bracket.

if your re-plating the fasteners take an inventory using a spreadsheet with the measurements of each fastener also take pictures of each fastener group (front forks, front wheel, tank etc...) that way when you get your fasteners back after plating you can re-sort them to the appropriate bike parts.....

And that Gentlemen is exactly why I send my engines to Mr. Danny Cooke for restoration!

remove both of the rubber seals...pack with grease...put them in your wife's vacuum sealer if she has one..the vacuum sealer will pack the bearings with the grease...put the rubber seal back on and install

Victor...I have had problems with statins in the past also...i now take Zetia with no problems.

here are some comparison pics with a CW tank Pic #1 profile shot...i have a red arrow where the tank seam comes too close to the frame...i glued some rubber strips to the tank to avoid marring and contact...you can also see the difference in the size of the badge indentation. Indian tank is slightly...

i'll put some up tonight

They are a few hundred less than a restored original Victor..shipping on my tank from India was free and only took 5 days.....a fully restored re-chromed clean dent free original will end up costing $600+ with shipping to and from the restorer...I know...I have 2, one CW one Super Rat fully restored...

I use Yamabond

If using the chain guard a 3.25 in the rear is almost a must...i'm currently restoring a model 93 and have a cheng shin 18x 3.25 on the rear and it just BARELY clears the guard..a lot of guys have shaved the knobs off the left side of a 3.50 tire to clear the guard....swap meets are where i found mi...

at 90 with the throttle closed and using your hand and 117 with your foot and the throttle closed you should have more than enough to run...probably some other issue but try doing the compression test correctly to see what you get to verify you have enough compression...throttle wide open use your f...

I have been using nothing but WD40 for the last 20 years on all my off road bikes...o-ring chains last me 1200+ miles...only reason i replace them is because the sprockets wear out.

I'll be there Thursday through Sunday...

what kind of shape is your needle in?.if it is worn it may let additional fuel through...had that issue with my 72 husky... could not get the bottom end (up to 1/4 throttle) to be responsive..i dropped the pilot from a 45 to a 40 and it was still too rich...replaced the needle and needle jet (same s...

If someone finds a rattle can paint that is gasoline proof, please let us all know. The only readily available paint I have found that resists fuel exposure is automotive multi part paint, which requires spray equipment. Engine enamels and caliper paint are supposed to resist fuel exposure, but I h...

Bel-Ray waterproof

heads first on both sides (inners) ...ALL of them in the hub on both sides before you start setting them in the rim...then the tails (outers) one at a time on both sides...the outside spokes have about a 90 degree bend and in insides a little less...make sure you have them separated properly...here ...

I'll have a 93 super rat motor for you come August/September if your still interested Danny...
