Pretty much all the hardware is zinc plated. I think the top triple clamp bolts were chrome and maybe the handlebar clamp bolts. The air filter cage is yellow zinc. Hodaka changed to yellow zinc motor mount bolts at some point in time. I think it was around 1973 but I am not sure. If you are planni...

The Squirt was a "parts bin engineering" bike. It used an Ace 100 engine with a Wombat transmission and a Wombat frame. The engine already has a lighting coil, and the output wires were just tied off and left unused. The lighting kit was standard parts bin stuff thrown together to give th...

Put a join request in, but nought happening with it?

On the boots thing again
I still have an old pair of early Hi-Points (not for sale)

One of the extra exhaust pipes has an interesting "performance" mod.

Yep, that's the lighting kit for the Squirt (model 96). There was no battery. The headlight was powered strictly from the AC magneto. If I was going to guess, I would say the switch in the headlight was used to turn the headlight on or off since there is no ignition key on the Squirt. Beauty! I've ...

Thanks guys!
So would the lighting kit have included a battery box arrangement I wonder?

[EDIT]
Just found this kit...
says for (96)? wonder what is done about the battery then?

Are there any Dirt Squirt anoraks on here?
I'd like to find out more nitty gritty details as I go.

This is a bike I saw at a local display a couple of years ago. Always quite liked what I saw then, so when this project popped up I decided to have a go.

Thanks all! :D I do like a challenge ;) Last project..... 450 Honda: http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/w576/glenn210/Classic%20Bike/Honda%20CB450/P1010032_zpsb4d6fa36.jpg http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/w576/glenn210/Classic%20Bike/Honda%20CB450/IMG_20160423_171145_zpsdymwq9fl.jpg So checking ...

I'll need to get manuals etc. But while I'm waiting.... This bike was sold as a 125, but it should a 100 shouldn't it? Haven't checked motor too much at this stage. Also wondering if it shares commonality with any of the other bikes eg Combats, though I think I should probably put it back together a...

OK, so it all begins here :D I bought a rather neglected bike, so the plan is to fully restore it. So this is it: http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/w576/glenn210/Classic%20Bike/Hodaka/IMG_20160705_134732_zpsjjeldkze.jpg Comes with another parts bike, and this bunch of goodies. http://i1330.photobu...

Just thought I'd say G'day
I've just started my first day of leaning about Hodaka's...
picked up these Dirt Squirts
