I really liked my 100B+ and appreciated it's short wheelbase. MY woods riding here in NW Fl is usually on tight trails and old jeep-only roads so the average speed is usually quite low but I would appreciate a little more hp when I get in some loose sand.

Thanks for the info. I'd forgotten how heavy that footpeg mount probably is.

Didn't there used to be something called a "battery eliminator" that allowed you to remove the battery without blowing out your lights due to unregulated voltage?

A stock 100B+ weighs about a 185 lbs. How much can you lighten it by switching to a plastic tank and fenders, removing the battery box, etc. and still end up with a reliable street legal bike? I'm sure lots of folks have done this but I can't find anything by searching the forum.

Many yrs ago I had a 100B+ that I dearly loved. Many more powerful dirt bikes have come and gone since then. Now I'm in the market for another Hodaka. A street legal Wombat would be nice but how about a B+ frame with a 125 motor? Is that an easy swap?

I'm in NW Florida (60 mi E. of Pensacola).

No response from Terry so I guess he's not in the complete bike business.

Contacted Terry yesterday, awaiting response.

I've bookmarked Hodaka-Parts. Is that really the only game in town? There used to be ads on this forum and the old Yahoo groups discussion group.

My first new motorcycle was a 100B+ that I bought when I was stationed in Canada in the early 70s. I had it for nearly 30 yrs until I let it go to support a Bultaco project. Big mistake! Now in my golden years I need another Hodaka to revisit my misspent youth. I've done the usual searches without s...

I think it's adorable. Sheet aluminum?

Beautiful country, reminds me a little of the desert around Las Vegas. I'm always glad to see someone riding dirt bikes in jeans instead of being dressed up like a power ranger wannabe.

Thanks for all the help. I'll start with a repack and go from there.

I'm not sure I know what a shorty silencer is. Are we talking about one of those shorty baffles that actually fit inside the original muffler?

I don't have the bike in my possession yet--waiting for a little warmer weather to take possession. It looks like a stock 100B+ with the oem spark arrestor from an outside visual inspection. Can these mufflers be repacked? With what?

I'm in the process of buying a rebuilt 100B+ after being out of the Hodaka world for some time. The bike seems louder than I remember. It has a stock pipe with spark arrestor. Is there anything extra I can do to quiet the exhaust down a little so I don't upset my neighbors? Remove the arrestor and i...

kingdve thanks for the tip. Is the Duplicolor engine enamel fairly fuel resistant?

Oops, you're right; my pesky computer chopped off the right column. Thanks again.

Thanks,that was exactly what I have been looking for. Do you also have the dry weights? As soon as I find a bike I'll definitely get the appropriate owners manual and shop manual.

Are there any rattlecan aerosol that are usually available locally that are a close match to the original colors for the frame and engine?

I was looking for the wheelbase, dry weight , ground clearance and overall length. I'm trying to decide whether I want a Wombat or 100B+. I assume the 100B and B+ are virtually identical.

How about just the specs for a 100B+ and a chrome tank Wombat? Alternatively, anyone have a copy of the road tests for these two bikes from "back in the day"?

I've been out of the Hodaka world for awhile but I think I'm getting the "fever" again. Anyone know an online source for Hodaka specs (tire size, wheelbase weight, etc.) so I can decide what model I should be pursuing. I bought a new 100B+ many years ago and kept it for nearly 30yrs ago be...
