Re: Forum upgrade in process

Re: Forum upgrade in process

I can say the repair piece does work on the chrome tank Wombat cases. Still haven’t heard if production is planned.

Re: “Patina Rat”

So Alex couldn’t leave the bike alone. . .

He dug through the parts pile and came up with everything but a chain. The motor is from his 68 Ace.

Today we did some cleaning and sorting. Motor side covers will be used. Changed out rear non-working shocks for some working but rusty ones. Cleaned the front fork sliders. 45 year old tires still holding pressure after a week. This has possibilities. The fuel tank may even clean up inside! 220CF199...

Re: SAD NEWS, Hodaka Owner Registry goe,s away!!!!

I have made inquiry and there is a good possibility that we will be able to acquire and scan all of the editions of the newsletter which will then be available to members on the club site. No promises, but I am working with someone who has access to a full collection.

More details when I get them!

Re: Australian Wombat

Shift pattern on the early 100’s is backwards (1 up, 4 down) but functionally will operate the transmission and bolt up. Lots more of them around, because folks like to convert the early pattern to the late One.

Re: Turn Signals on an Ace 100?

You can also find them at Lowe’s. Ive used similar on my Yamahas as well. Nice as they don’t leak and can be installed in any position.

NP4-6 is the generic model number. yuans/Genesis makes the best ones, but they cost more.
