Reason for asking is the bike has no ID plate.

Sorry Bill. Thought this was Dales bike. Good job!

Bad ass ride Dale. Nice job!

Anyone care to guess the production date on a 1970 93 Ace100 MX Super Rat frame #B42143?

Ouch…some fiery darts coming from the Super Secret Hodaka Research and Meditation Center and I believe they are aimed at me! However, in this case Richard’s last reply is spot on. No harm taken from Mike reply though. I hope he meant well?? ;) In this case Mike is “preaching to the choir” as the say...

As the owner of the Hodaka in question in this discussion, I want to thank all you that have replied and given your expert opinion. I use the word expert because you guys have experience only found here on this forum. You were the closest eyewitnesses of the Hodaka era. Compared to the bible, you wo...

Hey Hodaka user group. Just wanted to say thank you to this group of people who are willing to assist Hodaka owners. And of course there is a story to follow. I was stumped by a clutch dragging issue (not disengaging). After two rebuilds and all new parts, the problem persisted. So, doing a little r...

If you are looking for a winter project, I have an Ace 100 for sale on eBay. Ends Sunday so check it out. Much of the restoration has already been done. Some very nice components are included.

Anyone driving from Boise to Southern Oregon or Northern California area, that could haul a bike, in the next couple of months? Willing to help pay for gas. Thanks.

Very cool. Love it! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Can't help but smile.

You certainly have a flair for video editing, nice job. A trials video who be cool!

Caswell makes good epoxy based liner products. Preparing the inside of the tank is critical when using a liner. There are many methods and products for prep. I had a tank rechromed that had a small pin hole in the tunnel. Caswell sealed the leak. If the tank is rusty inside, it could develop additio...

Thanks Bill. I realized that Ed had already answered my last question as I was drifting off to sleep last night. It was a " da" senior moment.

Well Ed, here's the deal...the bike had spark and even ran before I rebuilt the stator. The same primary coil was used and I added a lighting coil which was missing. New points and condenser, points are opening, same high tension coil which is grounded to the frame as needed. Guess I will pull the m...

Need some assistance bypassing the main switch on an Ace 100. The wiring harness has not been connected yet or the main switch but I would like to check for spark before proceeding. The ignition coil is connected to the magneto with the blue and black wires. Do I connect the second black wire from t...

Hi Bill, check your private messages. I sent an offer on your tank.

Here are a couple photos. The air cleaner is NOS for comparison. The plating company will clean the parts before plating so you don't need to prep the parts. Check pricing as the cost varies from one company to the next. If you are in the northwest, here is the company I used recently. TFC plating i...

Find a zinc plating company in your area. Send your dirty rusty greasy part off and get back clean new looking parts. Ask for clear zinc plating which matches Original. Cost is about $75-100 for one bike depending on the weight. This includes brackets, axles, springs, nuts, bolts, washers, cover pla...

Ah but pears do grow where it snows. I live in the Rogue Valley (So. Oregon), once the pear capital and home of Harry and David's, and yes it does snow here at least once or twice every winter. Your welcome Clarence!

Very cool ace 90. Great job and in one month. You must have several elves working in your shop. I like the low bars.

Powder coat. Cardinal brand paint line. Not sure which red. There were several reds. I used an NOS battery box to match the color. Thanks for your assistance Bruce. I ordered an air cleaner assembly from Paul. Expensive but I'm going for "broke".

Yes I forgot this is an Ace 90 frame number. Thanks for the picture. Guess I need a 90 air cleaner and bracket. Hope the alignment mounts up to the 100 engine okay.

Hi gang, I have been restoring this 1968 Ace, thinking all along the nearly new air cleaner I obtained in a parts lot would fit. Well I am still learning about the older frame and discovered today during assembly there is a small loop Channel on this frame that get in the way of the later air cleane...

Thanks guys. Excellent verbiage on bearing removal. You guys are awesome!
