A good friend has been procrastinating on a 99 Road Toad for years.(Decades?) I finally said I'd do the engine if he would do the rest. Here's the progress on my part. Nothing has to be original so I went with the blasted prototype look. This project was to be ridden in the ISDT Reunion Ride, but di...

It looks like a really fun project! I'm jealous! I also vote reed and retouchable paint. One step at a time is my motto-Have FUN!

When I was selling Hodakas in that time period we had a new Ace 100 with that problem. After trying everything in the book I changed the exhaust pipe to an aftermarket pipe. The bike gained 15 MPH! I would check for obstructions in the pipe. Check the exhaust port carbon build-up. Good luck! Maxie

Hi Terry- what you are seeing is a bolt-on cushioned sprocket. I installed one on my sixties flat tracker. Rubber grommets behind the bolts reduces driveline shock. Maxie
