1968 Ace 100 score!

Post by RossB »

Hello all!
New to forum just got 68 Ace 100 very nice shape
New tires and all original paperwork in binder plus the leather key chain.Hadn’t run since 74 2500 miles put some gas in her fired right up and idles! $200.00 delivered! Big 2 stroke fan looking forward to getting her cleaned up. Only bummer a couple of fins broke on one of the cylinders.
Try expressing my joy with the Other 1/2 just doesn’t feel!?
Take care!

Don't see any pictures. A missing fin or three is probably okay.

Good used heads aren't too hard to find if you want one.

You seem to have captured a real bargain.

Lots of good tecnical tips in the Resinator series available on line to Hodaka Club members.

I believe the link may be HodakaClub.org.

If you do a search for the site you'll find it with no troubles.

Price of membership is one of the best deals you will find anywhere.

If you got a strong runner for $200 you're a much smarter consumer than I am.

I paid a grand for an almost runner B+ sixteen years ago.

And I put 15 years of time & parts in it to get it where I wanted it.

You're way ahead.

It's great that this thing has fallen into good hands.

From what I see on eBay, I'd guess most of those that are remaining are bought & parted out.

Frame number on a little tab on the left side of the bike under the saddle or on the left frame down tube buttress. Engine number on the front edge of the clutch side engine case.

Wow! That is a SCORE :o ! The air pump is a bonus too, those are scarce. Well, you're way ahead or me in this game.

Here's a picture of my '68 that the kids are working on... still 3yrs on, 3-4 hrs a weekend. A kiddo and father project that cost me $150 for what you see and sooo much more since (I think in the realm of 2K or so.) I was a desert racer in the early 70's in the northern Mojave, District 37.
