Help identify this head

Post by Tether »

I have acquired a bunch of Hodaka parts over the past couple of years and I’m starting to catalog everything.
I am trying to figure out what this head is from. The 2nd number is just a block in the casting. Appears to be for a 50-51mm bore. 100cc?

If that's black paint on the head, I'd say it's a Toad motor.

Yes there is some black paint on it but not much left.

The shape of the top fins also makes it look to me as a Road Toad Head. But it could also be a Model 01 Dirt Squirt Head based on top fin shape. :ugeek: Victor

Thanks guys.
the number matches up with the Toad Model 99 except for the missing number that is confusing to me. Did someone forget to put the other 9 in the mold?
I did find some other Toad parts so it does make some sense.

I'm not sure why, but the cylinder head mold(s) for the alloy cylinders used the following numbering procedure:

Combat Wombat - 952501
All others - 9-2501
