Good point Ed. The picture of an ant carrying a watermelon comes to mind….
I have a feeling that shocks 1” longer would probably squish to normal length as with a normally nourished rider astride.

Well, I just got my ‘72 BB+ insured! In case it goes up in flames when I try to fire it p after 30+ years of hibernation! My fuel tank has been refurbished, new petcocks from Hodaka Parts…….This thing sure sinks when I sit on it! Anyone got any longer/stiffer shocks laying around/ideas? I’m pretty e...

Thanks to all for helping me identify this bike! I say “ Let it B” eventually, I’ll remove the larger sprocket for street use and call it a BB+!

Thanks Dale! I have sprayed the rear wheel nuts with penetrant and it’s soaking.
More progress coming…..

Just figured out how to add pictures…..I think!

Good morning from Cottage Grove, Oregon! I’m revvinkevin, a 65 year old retired architectural glass worker living in the stix in rainy Oregon. I became the owner of this Hodaka when my beloved older brother passed about 20 years ago. He owned the local Yamaha shop and had many bikes, but this Hodaka...

Thanks for the info....I'm in the early stages of dragging my B+ out of the shed for service. It's 30 year service, that is!

First Post Here Ever! For my '71 100 B+, …….is there an LED 6v option?
