New guy thanks! Barn find 100.00

[Mike Johnson]

Ok so I'm a mini bike guy and felt like I can restore or get some info .. so I will post a pic and let the money flow to get her up and running...
No plate anywhere.

Steen/ Alsport , runs an Ace 100 motor. Body work available on ebay. Motor parts from several suppliers.

[thrownchain]

That front end doesn't look correct but hard to tell from pics, looks to be too short, or possible collapsed.

[Mike Johnson]

Ok thanks ,so where do I get motor parts from.
Going to start tearing down tomorrow,.so forks collapsing ? May need oil ? Or ?? Does anyone here sell parts , also best way to get this running,
Gas mix 32 or 40

Great find!! Lucky

What part of the country are you in?

[Mike Johnson]

East coast Virginia

[Mike Johnson]

Any idea of what year?

[thrownchain]

I haven't found anyone who can quote what year they may be. If it is the wrong front end it doesn't make it easier. If it is an Alsport would put it in the early 70s.

[Mike Johnson]

Got ya,so restore to original would be hard then right? Just pick a seventy model and do it that way?

[Mike Johnson]

Found a stamped number on the neck 87736
Anyone tell me if that tells me anything??

[thrownchain]

Motor parts you can get from Strictlyhodaka.com, or Hodaka-parts.com. You'll want what they sell as an "overhaul bundle". It gives you all parts you need to replace all the bearings, seals, gaskets, screws etc. As to restoring the bike you can pick a model and use that as a point of reference for your build. Or you can build it how you want, there are several tank decal options, and you can paint it as you like.

Thanks alot !

Mike, how far away are you from Hopewell? There is a fellow there who may be able to help you.

[thrownchain]

The owners of Hodaka-parts.com may be able to answer your questions also. They were buying up parts to start building Steens.

[Mike Johnson]

Not to far from Hopewell maybe a hour or 2.. that would be good to get in touch with
