Re: I'm Disappointed in the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

I agree with your beef. Completely. 100% The example they presented was by no means iconic, which is disappointing for sure, but was a good example of a CW tricked out for enduro work. Didn't mean to Bogart your thread.

Re: ISO 1970 SuperRat fender set.

If you are planning to ride/race the bike, get yourself a set of plastics. You could buy 10 sets of nearly indestructible plastic fenders for the price of a good set of stock SR fenders - if you can ever find one. Bonus: you don't have to feel appropriately sheepishly dumb when people ask you why yo...

Thanks Pop! ...and head milled for back-up spark plug. Thanks for the info on the watch holder. How cool is that?!?! Yes, great example of a Hodie in enduro trim.

Re: I'm Disappointed in the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

Not to play the Devil's advocate, but that IS a pretty kick-a$$ Hodie. In a sense, particularly a racing sense, it is a pretty cool ambassador for Hodaka with many of the upgrades of the day. Petty fenders, Clarke tank, Curnutt suspension, and...what the hell is the crystal ball thing mounted where ...

Re: 2021 road or trail rides

Yes indeed. And what a beautiful site for a good Wombat (and rider) workout. Awesome!! Toaster tank Wombats are primo bikes for that kind of work AAAAAAND you can ride it home afterwards. Perfecto!

I guess "butter" forks was a play on words on "betor". Cool to know.

PS- good one, Clarence.

Wow, Apologies Victor. I figured wrong. My new fancy phone interprets some of my typing in an "unusual" way. I figured "Betor" became "butter". I'll shut up now.

Re: Super rat differance between super rat 93A and 93B?

Victor, Butter forks are the invention of automatic spelling correction software. "Betor" made aftermarket, competition forks and shocks. They are awesome and impossible to find unless you print your own money.

Hodaka history #1

In some Hodaka sales literature I scored for the pristine 01 Dirt Squirt flier was an Ace Distributors guide. The included image is of the last page describing the stocking requirement expenses one would have to pony up to open a dealership. Particularly telling is the price reductions overstruck on...

Re: Mystery throttle

Thanks Captain. The problem is with my computer. It is flipping the image 180 deg. If that kill button is immovable, just grab the housing to button the bike? Cool. Never seen that before. Minibike part?

No idea here, but nifty set-up with the integrated single-wire kill button. I'm not sure how it works, as in, where is the cable opening?

Re: Trouble contacting Hodaka-Parts.com

Dan Jennings is a past owner and no longer has anything to do with Hodaka Parts so you're barking up the wrong tree there. If you received incorrect parts , for any reason, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where Terry or his crew won't immediately jump into action to make it right. That's just...

Well how da ya like that! A bud who just happens to have a 100cc flame thrower header laying around? I'd say you hang with a cool crowd. Very clever pipe mod.
