Found a New/Old Stock 3.00 19 Cheng Shin to match my rear almost new 3.50 18 Cheng Shin. The front' 3.00 are close to impossible to find. I just lucked out finding the one I did...

Thanks Bill, I may put a 2.75 19 on it which s/b ok with the existing rim? I'm checking one other place overseas and will let everyone know what I find out on finding a correct 3.0 19.
Thanks
Ron

Thanks, I ready contacted them and they do not carry the 3.0 19 front tire. They do have a 2.75 19. The correct front tire for 93B is 3.0 19 so would like to find one, but exhaustive search is coming up empty. Very surprised other Rat owners have not run into the same problem.
Thanks

Hi All,
I'm having a tough time finding a matching set of tires for 93B Super Rat; front 3.00 19 and rear 3.50 18 Knobbies.
Anyone have a good source to purchase? Can't find anyone online that carries the front and want the back to match. Cheng Shin carries the rear but not front.
Thanks
Ron

Thanks, yes will need the complete reed manifold with petals in good condition for 93 super rat
that will mate to 24mm carb. Thanks, Ron

Thanks Arizona Shorty, I've been told and sent a pic that the Piston is a Reed with drilled holes on inlet side so will look for a Reed Manifold. You are right about cost of either replacing piston/ring/other, or buying a reed manifold are about the same costs, so going with the way the engine is cu...

Thanks Bill, Yes looks like I would need the Reed Manifold. Can't seem to locate a Charlie R on the member listing to see if he can help. Anyone know his contact info?
Thanks, Ron

Thanks Jay and Max. I'll look around for a reed manifold.
All the best, Ron

If a Super Rat engine has been converted to Reed Valve can it run with an existing Super Rat standard manifold or do you also need to use Reed Valve manifold? I would assume to get the full benefit of Reed Valve piston/ cylinder you would also use the correct manifold, which is very expensive. If pe...

It doesnt have a ID plate and doesnt match to the only infomation available for matching up to a serial number. That's as far as it goes with me. I do appreciate your comments and know that you can only check so far with validation of dates, serial numbers and authenticity of a bike. I havent seen f...

Thank you for the detailed posts. Your information is very informative and appreciated. I have also gone back to look at several of your posts on uncharted serial numbers. One in particular where you state having an ID plate and frame stamp is much more assurance that the bike is correct, even thoug...

Thanks for responses. The website data sheet on Strictly Hodaka seems to make sense with the Start/Stop serial numbers by Year, by Model. 1970 for some reason is an exception, maybe some other years. As a collector you always want to verify numbers and dates, whether for classic cars or motorcycles....

Could use some help from an expert on Reading the Strictly Hodaka Data sheet on correctly identifying a Bike. The serial number on the Frame is B42143. According to the Data sheet on the Strictly Hodaka website this should be a 1970 Ace 100 (92B) with an "A" Frame serial number? The Bike d...
