Exhaust nut on 68 Ace

Maybe a stupid question but i've been trying to figure out something to get that nut off with. Have tried all sorts of things. Closest I'm finding in my searches might be a wrench for exhaust on an old BMW bike.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks all!

Re: Adding front brake switch to a model 92...

Thanks for the input and good call on the brake perch with the switch integrated. Didn't even think about that!

I considered a later backing plate to the hub, but was seeing that 100b/b+, had a larger front wheel. This I assume would mean a larger hub?

Thanks again.

Adding front brake switch to a model 92...

Hey all! Has anyone here tried to add a front brake switch to a model 92? I'm considering drilling a couple of holes in the hub(same spot as model years that included front) and rigging it up from there. For adding to the wire harness: would it be best to modify rear brake leads off the main harness...

76 Road Toad (02) - Workshop manual?

Maybe I'm missing it, but I haven't found a workshop manual that covers the 76 toad. I assume its pretty much the same as previous years toads with the exception of the gas tank. Any suggestions?

Thanks all!

Lack of power in 1st/2nd gear

Hi all! Just had a question on where to start for addressing an issue with low power on a 68 Ace 100: So everything else seems to be in order, runs on first kick, idles fine and gears 3-5 have plenty of juice, but 1st and 2nd really seem to be lacking. When i get on the throttle hard, it winds up we...

Re: ACE 100 Strange headlight rewire...Please help!

Thanks Dale. I have scoured the forums to find my answer and have found some insight, but not exactly what I"m looking for. It does not have a toggle switch on the bottom of the bucket and I do have a functioning 3 position switch.

Re: ACE 100 Strange headlight rewire...Please help!

Has anyone tried a 5 3/4" sealed beam application for the ACE 100 assembly? I've found a couple for pretty decent prices, that I'm sure would work(even found a 6v 15w/15w bulb for the socket. I'd be happy to share if someone can give me some insight on the above...

ACE 100 Strange headlight rewire...Please help!

So this is a two part question... 1. The workshop manual says that the headlight size is 5" 6v sealed beam. Haven't been able to find ANYTHING in that size. When I measure the the bulb, it seems like a 5 3/4 inch might fit(which happens to be all I can find). Anyone have any experience trying t...

ACE 100 Manual

Hey All! First time poster and first time Hodaka owner! I just picked up what I think is a 69 ACE 100(haven't gotten all serial numbers worked out to confirm). I've worked on some other bikes throughout the years so I usually go to the repair manuals for any kind of guidance. I'm sure I'll be asking...
