I'd wear my thumb out

Thought I would start a new topic. I found this awhile back and copied the info. Looks like a good reference list. Compliments of "a member on another forum", Sorted by size, find yours and you can see what else shares the same size for a swapping donor. JAP bikes Fork Tube Sizes Fork Diam...

Hmmm, good thing I didn't say No major work required because that sounds like a lot of work.

I saw somewhere that the conversion is or was available. However when I pulled the stem on a 77 CR125 Honda all the loose ball bearings dropped in the dirt. Surprised me I thought they would be tapered. Here's a pick with Honda and swingarm mocked up to my Super Combat frame. Looks like no major wor...

Thrownchain, I have a retired friend who is obviously a very good welder. I gave this to him to play with along with $100. He gave me the case and $60 back. I still might get another case and just keep this one on the wall. Bev, No this is the case from my Super Combat. Every Hodaka I have has a cra...

Some fun work tonight. A little polishing goes a long way
The inside is really clean

Well Sherlock, another mystery solved.
This bike sat against a fence in the Seattle area for 30 years with a rag in the intake.
I shoulda known

I can't imagine how much Force it took to do this!
Before and after. Model 97

Bev, This bike belonged to a friend. He bought it new when he was about 13. Wanted a CR125 but his dad made him buy the Hodaka from a local dealer. I got it from his dad. Dad told me the shifter was broken and then lost. I don't know how he did it either but like any kid he was hard on stuff. He was...

Hello welding expert.
This is from my friends bike.

You get the BEST advice in this group!

"Hmmmm, I recommend another glass of wine."

I think the photo Vic shared is the same one as I have in my repro. 03 owners manual

Thanks Bruce.
I got to meet both of them at Hodaka Days. Got to talk to Ron about my SC engine. I put it on the back burner for now since the insides we're grenaded. I'm hoping to split these tonight and see what's what. After that it's the saving game.

In fact I'm having so much fun I'm building a little workshop for my bike projects.

I thought it might be an interesting discussion. I know nothing about the history of the parts bike, but the other one belonged to a friend. I got it from his dad, been sitting in the family barn since 1978. He broke the shift housing and never looked at it again. I was hoping it might be an easy fi...

Here is the piston from my 03 I got from the original owner. No marking on top that I could find. I wonder why it ate the bottom of the skirt? The rest looked good.

Me either. Is the latest info available?

Ed, your post leaves me contemplating the trustworthiness of my friends.
Can't think of any that I would let swing the hammer.

Sure sounds good! 2 thumbs up!!

Worked just now for me.

Brian,
What were the results of your swap? Was it worth the effort in performance and or reliability? I have all the parts and have been considering whether or not to try it.

My jaw is on the floor! Wow! Keep us posted!

"Hello, my name is Bullfrog - and I'm a Hodaka-holic." Ok. Your turn" Hmm maybe I'm not following directions quite right. Hello, my name is Geary - and yeah I might be a Hodaka-holic. I had a friend with an Ace 90 then saw the first SC in central California. The hook was set. Problem ...

Wgmack, I'm a relative newbie here. Been a member for awhile but just this year started actually working on my projects. I've been fortunate to have met a couple people on here in person and had a few online conversations. I think everyone will help you with any questions you may have and give you t...

Just checked at Hodaka-Parts. $219.95. Your cylinder bored to match a new piston which is included. Not surprisingly the address to send your cylinder is to Hodaka Dave's shop. That's teamwork
