Here is a link to my Facebook post, not too sure if you all can see it. I'll try to post some pics of the ride tomorrow.

I see that dg29 already sent a message about the piston, let me know if it doesn't work out for some reason. I would love to have a crack at buying it.......

Just checking to see if anyone in the forum is getting ready for bike days this year. If so, it would be a good oppurtunity to meet up and talk some Hodaka!!!

So, I was thinking that if someone going to hodaka days had an extra air mattress that they could bring for Mike, I am sure he would appreciate not sleeping on the ground!!! It probably would have to be a twin or a double size, I'm not sure how big his tent is. Probably not too big. If no one has on...

Hey Roger, I believe Mike's route will be the southern way, I think he plans to head north on 95 from the town of Winnemucca Nevada. Mike's riding ability and endurance is something else!!! Always impressive.

Hey Rick, I'm not sure where that pic is from. I am gonna post a couple pics from my phone that I took today. The first pic is from the test ride, and the others are from my garage at my house. We swapped out his stator with mine, cleaned a bunch of connections, and checked a bunch of wires. It was ...

Hey Vic, just a heads up....... I was looking at Facebook and on the Vintage Honda page, I seen that the owner of that 250sl was jerking someone around about a cr80 he was selling. There's always two sides to the story but I would be cautious with that Andrew Costin character. I just don't want to h...

If you look it up on the nada motorcycle value website, it says it's worth $925 in good shape. Of course there are always other factors involved with actual market value. Vermont uses nada values for registration purposes. I also think it classifies a 1975 toad as an (02) model, I was under the impr...

I don't think I like where this is going!!!!

Mike, don't forget I have the parts toad, I'm sure it has a coil on it still.

Good show Rick!!! I had my suspicions that was what you were gonna spring on us! I seen that beauty on Craigslist last week. What a good deal you got there. Looking forward to seeing it at Toronto.

The suspense..........I can't handle it...........what could it be?

Can anyone tell me how close(or how different) the color difference of a model 98 rat front fender is to a model 01 squirt is? I see more super rat and super combat fenders for sale than 01 red squirt fenders but it's too hard for me to distinguish a color difference. Is 01 squirt orange the same or...

I am bringing back to life a 01 dirt squirt that came to me as a true basket case. I have the bottom end sorted out finally(FYI....it's a good idea to count the teeth on the tranny gears before assuming that 2nd gear has the correct amount of teeth when it comes with the cases already split). Now I ...

Good times, good people, good riding. It was a blast. I can't wait til next year.

Here a few more pics.....

I received a message back from the previous owner about the head, here is what he said.... "about the head, it was in the early '70s when i got a little serious about trials with it. we did not have internet so i'm guessing it was in a motorcycle parts catalog. DG had advertised a similar head ...

Sorry, I didn't attach the photos.

I will try to contact the guy I bought it from. I actually seen it on the forum marketplace here. There are still pics of the whole bike on the website still. The fellow said he bought it off a neighbor in 1965, the title was actually in his wife's name. Anyway, I'll see if he can give us more info....

Yes Ed, it does match the ace 90 bolt pattern. I actually checked compression before I took it off the motor and it was about 200 psi. I ended up robbing the motor for the counter shaft to get my regular use ace 90 fixed up.

So, i picked up another ace 90 a few weeks ago that has a high compression head on it that I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on. There is an H stamped on the bottom of it. Also, there was an aluminum spacer that looks like it should go under the cylinder(but I'm not really sure) that wa...

So, a little back ground......the engine was rebuilt first with new seals and bearings. I did some exhaust bridge relief work that lasted a few hundred miles before the piston got chewed up by possibly the top ring catching on my poor work. I then redid the top end with a .20 over piston, and had th...

FYI......The Ohio Valley BSA owners club rally is August 5th 6th and 7th. It's in Toronto Ohio which is about an hour west of Pittsburgh. I have been to this event 3 times now and each time is an absolute blast. It would be nice to see some more Hodakas show up for the ride. It's more fun than Mike ...

@hodakamax....thanks for the insight and the keen eye. I was afraid that my work was not up to par. Live and learn I guess. Not that I won't attempt it again in the future, but I think I am gonna have the guy boring my cylinder take a crack at it. I plan to print out the bulletin, and hope he has th...

I figure I will throw some input into this discussion since my bridge relieving may have contributed to my piston getting eaten up. I have about 500 miles on since I did the work to the cylinder. I used the same piston and rings, and had it honed. I feel that I should have done a smoother job, I use...

I don't know if the link will work but wiring diagrams are on the strictlyhodaka.com page under tech tips and then wiring diagrams by model.

Nice toad. I just put one together and it's an absolute blast to ride.
