Howdy yall from Spokane

[Roland the Headless]

I went to my frist Hodaka days ever this year (2024)
While looking around a ace 90 frame and a ace 100 engine hopped into the back of my truck
Funny, I had $450 in my wallet ...then it was gone too
I wonder if the two are correlated
It is a roller and has a tank and seat both in great shape

I have friends that are really into these bikes and have tons of parts
So I have support
I need a piston and a flywheel and the bolts that hold the engine in the frame
the wheels are form a ace 92b+ and a wombat in in the back

understand that I could have this back to a stock ace 90 but..... I don't wanna do that
I wanna make a franken bike to showcase just how modular these bikes are
I all ready have a good start
have a great 4TH and go riding

I name my bikes
I named this one Hope or she named herself actually
I reached to pull out the key and thought what am I gunna call you?
On the key was printed Hope so thusely her name
As in I hope I can get her to run

Welcome to the group. Lots of fun ahead for you! I recognize that bike. I believe that you were loading it up while I waited to get past you on the road into the park. It was all good. I love seeing another person getting hooked on the Hodaka brand.

[Roland the Headless]

I am hooked!!
thanks for your patience
I think you wanted to see what I got too

You have a nice Ace 90 original pipe there! If you are going to use the 100 motor, you’ll find one of several Ace 100 pipes will give you a little more volume moving, especially the Model 92B+ pipe! You could certainly sell that 90 pipe for more than the cost of a useable B+ pipe! But I understand if you wish to keep using it!

Welcome aboard from Santa Fe, NM! Victor

[Roland the Headless]

thanks for the info and the welcome

I was looking for a Hooker pipe but I will consider B+ pipe too

I got a rear fender today

This clip is a pain to get back on

Get them good and shined up

Howdy Guys and Gals!
The Hodaka is set aside for the moment.
I got a couple of new bikes to play with...well new to me.
I picked up 2 Honda TL125s.
Elly May...

and Daisy.

The second one needs a lot of work but she runs and is in my name.
There is more parts to her like a reconditioned tank and a nice seat.

The first one runs great, in fact I just put a Sammy Miller exhaust on her.
She whispers till I crack the throttle, then she roars.

I will get back to the hodaka when I can and I think I will be ready for Hodaka Days

How’s the Ace coming along??? Haven’t said much lately… Victor
