Victors Combat Wombat Thread!

[viclioce]

So, I was a busy beaver today! All that’s left to do is assemble the shifter back in the side cover! That gets done tomorrow. I’m tired. Victor

[viclioce]

It took me a while to find the bag in which I put the shifter parts. Shifter assembly complete now. All greased and ready to mount. I’ll put the shift lever on after mounting chain & cover.

BTW, do you guys just hook up a grease gun & fill the shifter case thru the grease zurk? Victor

[viclioce]

Well I mounted the magneto/shifter cover anyway. Even though I’ll have to remove it to mount the chain and set the points. But here’s the motor assembled from the left side! Victor

Looking good victor. You could use some electrical shrink wrap on the wires going to the coil.------Clarence

I was looking for a better front fender mount that I knew I had, but naturally, I couldn’t find it when I was mounting the front fender.

So I found it cleaning up last night, and buffed & polished it today. It is WORTH the effort to change it out! Victor

[viclioce]

Here’s the 2 side by side. You can really see the difference! Victor

[viclioce]

All changed out!!! Happy 4th everyone!!! Victor

[givergas]

back at you victor, your doing a great job....albert

[Bullfrog]

If you are going to use the old enduro rider "trick" of fully packing the shifter mechanism from the bottom to just below the control shaft - I recommend an artists palette knife and fingers.

Actually I used something almost the same. Finger & a large flat blade screw driver and just packed it all around! Of course I put grease on everything as I assembled it as well! Victor

[viclioce]

OK. I reversed the foot peg assembly so it’s on correctly & mounted the motor in place. Also put new shrink wrap on the ignition wires! Victor

[viclioce]

Air box mounted. I decided to leave some of her battle scars showing. After all, she is 46 years old! Victor

[viclioce]

Got the air boot on. Didn’t have any more 3” pinch clamps so I just used a 3” hose clamp for now. Ready to mount the exhaust! Victor

[viclioce]

Just need to pick up the seat from the upholstery shop tomorrow!!! Oh and mount the chain, and put oil in the tranny, and pre-mix in the tank!!! Victor

[hodakamax]

The project is looking good Victor! Maxie

[viclioce]

Thanks Maxie! How’s 2 the Max coming along? Victor

[viclioce]

Got the seat back! Now I just need for Terry to fill my order for rubber parts. Brake, shift & kick rubber & the fender mud flaps!

[viclioce]

Couple more! Victor

[givergas]

you got something there all right, nice job, better keep that one in the house....albert

[viclioce]

So, the one part I still need is the rear number plate bracket. Anyone have a used one they can part with?

[taber hodaka]

I seen them at Hodaka Days you should have been there. Are roads go clear to New Mexico. -----Clarence

You need one more exhaust spring. It goes from the front setting bracket( part # 959169 ) down to the pipe.

[taber hodaka]

The cables clutch and throttle cables are not routed correctly, which can cause cable damage. -----Clarence

[viclioce]

Larry, all 4 exhaust springs are mounted. I even cleaned & repainted the springs with high heat engine paint. Victor

[viclioce]

Clarence. How are the clutch & throttle cables supposed to be routed? Since I received the bike without them on the bike, I have no reference. Victor
