Took less than two weeks for me but I used a company in PA to process it all.

Will report on my total exp once I get a NYS title, waiting on that now for my SL250

Need to get that youngest Gen a Hodaka shirt like Jr and Sr

Ditto, received my new addition to the fleet from bchappy 03 Wombat. Thanks a bunch for safe transport from HD to my home. Got it out for a test ride today, since it was dark when delivered last eve. Rides, runs and looks great!! Thanks to both Bill and Dan for hooking up and getting it to east coast.

Bill

Ah, I was looking forward to bottling and saving some Athena mud, since I cannot attend HDs myself.

Thanks for the cleanup efforts. I am sure Dan would like a clean trailer as well.

Enjoy HDs

If your not going for 100% original or musuem piece I would do what I do. I clean all hardware in degreaser, then wire wheel, next anti-rust treatment (pick you product many available, all about the same, Krud Killer, Evap-Rust etc, all are an acid etch), clean air blow dry, heat 15min in toaster ov...

I use paint from Eastwood, have used about a dozen of their paint colors as well as Silver and Gold. The last two are harder to get a solid even finish. I have both the Harbor Freight and Eastwood powder guns and prefer the HF gun, as the Eastwood I had to rewire the hand chicken switch to a foot sw...

Paul, I would be interested in that info as well. My one TDog has decent painted covers that I was able to bring back. My other one really could use repainted side covers. If there is a known orange, perhaps that you carry, I would be interested. thxs

Just sent you a PM on possible transport of a bike back east after HDs

All, Alex Snoop recommended to me the following place for chroming. He indicated they have reasonable prices and he uses them. I have not had them do any work for me yet so would be interested in any reviews. http://barchromeplating.com/Home.html Bar Plating (203)630-1046 BAR Plating 30 - 7 Powers D...

Here is another one on Craigslist. Perhaps a good pickup for parts or restore. I would if closer to me, but too many projects already.

Yes it was interesting and if you go back a few episodes on the website you can hear and interview with John and Jack about the movie. I have tried to get a showing of the film in my area, signed up as a movie captain, but unfortunately it got cancelled today due to not having the required 91 reserv...

Hmm, just listen to the show and it was about Penton Film and Ryan Youngs Dad was guest. Perhaps its next Tue eve.

Nice I know the area as I was born in Glens Falls. Heading out to parents in Queensbury on Thur and hitting Americade on Sat. Maybe I will see you there walking around if your going. I always have some Hodaka attire on. Would be spectacular to see a Hodaka there lining the street. Don't think I have...

Gary

Very good. It was nice to see the new badges on a bike. Very nice riders.

I did not notice the license plate on the trailer, where did you travel from?

I drove down from Rochester NY, only about 2.5hr drive.

Gary

Was that your trailer with the other two early Hodies and the Tent and Hodaka banner?

No one was there when I wonder by, darn missed a chance to meet and talk with you.

Perhaps some other time in the future.

Really nice bikes!!

VERY nice ride, was just like being there!!

Mine is also in a box and in the resto queue.

Love the soundtrack

First time to this event as spectator. Enjoyable time for all. Saw 2 hodaka racers, 1X and another. Some real nice old Hodies in the bike show tent. Some Pics and Vids here, am sure others will have plenty more. Will certainly go next year, perhaps for two days. https://picasaweb.google.com/82indypc...

Thanks for the info. I will have to put that on my xmas gift list. Ordered the puller, may try the MIG stud welder attachment for now.

Dan Tank looks great!!! Are you putting on the original paint? White or Red? I am also working on my 250SL, hope to ride this summer as daily rider. How did you remove the dents? I am not an auto body guy and have heard stories about removing dents via filling the tank with water and putting it in t...

Bookmark worthy no doubt, great info.

Speaking of Thunderdogs, just added another new one to my collection. Will test drive it this weekend. Its a little early but still may work good.

Welcome Cotton, nice owning your Hodies so long. On the Thunderdog there are several owners of them here. I myself have two Thunderdogs and on SL250(70A). The tank can be restored, see the link to my project page below. I also have an early model as I have the big lettering on the tank. I think Paul...

Received my Badges the other day as well. VERY nice and clean indeed. Excellent idea doing these and big Thanks Paul for getting it all done. Making history with these and adding to ongoing Hodaka saga. What do folks do for attaching these, is the gray putty material still available? Was thing to ju...

Dale, thanks for the info. The other ignition switch and key I have has the 107 on the back. The one for my Toad is a totally diff size and looks thicker and I know that its loose in the switch so I have a lanyard on it that clips to the bike in case it falls out. I know its wired correctly as I had...

Is this the place for Want-to-buy inquiries? See parts not allowed in For Sale area. Looking for a Thunderdog skid plate for my SL250, assuming it will fit. Hard to believe the bike did not come with one as a sydo dual sport. I would never go in the woods without one. So I add one or make one. Yeah ...
