Here is what a Webco gas cap looks like:

And a set of Webco foot pegs:

Lets try that again, foot pegs:

DR,
Thanks for posting the photos of the cap and foot pegs. I have my 71 93a that my parents had bought for me when I was a kid. It was used and from what I can tell it was raced before it was mine. Where the steering head meets the frame and gussets it is cracked (I'm assuming from being launched off of jumps). I had figured that the foot pegs were Webco Industries and your photos have confirmed it.
Many thanks!

Mine had more weld that original metal at the same spot. Rat abuse.

Matt,
Yep, weld em up and get them back out on the track. I figured that another day would be just fine to repair it properly.

Yep. Looks very familiar

Aircan not Webco but filtron or Uni.
Anyone have 71-73’ Webco accessories catalog for Hodaka they can copy/email. Seen ad they did expansion pipe but 4-bolt sprocket; unsure if did one for 6-bolt cushion hub for 100B’s. Thx

Hope someone can find a 71-72’ Webco catalog to copy, read they did do a 6-bolt cushion hub sprocket too.

Then there is also the Webco forks springs. A quick question.......why are you using these Webco items on a Ace 100 and not a Super Rat?

I do have the cushioned sprocket on my old Ace short tracker. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

Hmm, best I can do today. The bike is hanging from the ceiling and you can only see the back side. We ran these on all our racers of the time until real cush hubs came out.

Just saw this nice looking Webco Head on Ebay if anyone is flush and interested. I am one but not the other . . .

Webco cushion sprocket on the old Ace 90 racer. Max and I bought allot of the same good products. ----------------Clarence

Max & Clarence- Thanks for the sprocket photos, helpful. Reason earmarked for the Ace is I have one; it had Webco sticker on front fender and had a 100cc head to start w/. 72’ MX still eluding me.
Saw old ad Webco had a 100-pg catalog in 72 for a whole $1. If can find one can confirm all that may fit an Ace, just as a fun project.

That VT front end is just as nice as one I liked in Athena:).

Set of Webco footpegs in the wrapper and some Webco oil dipsticks on ebay.

Well the Ace work is beginning.. scaling back w/ oil dip stick & 100Cc head . It has other non-stock parts needing corrected. Did find a complete 100-125cc Webco top end for perhaps a future 100MX find.

Boy!!! Where are you finding all of this cool stuff? Joe Ormonde

Really! I've had my eye out for one of those Webco spark plug/wrench holders (that didn't have a zillion dollar price tag on it) for years!!

I hear ya Matt! I settled on a knock off plug and wrench holder but I'm in the market for a Webco Ace gas cap, the small one, for the father / kiddo project. Haven't seen one any where for awhile.

Bev

The last Webco plug/wrench holder I saw had "WI" engrossed on it and a price tag of $250. Ouch. You'll hate this, but might find yourself similarly lucky. Recently I was looking on ebay for a one-dent wonder Ace tank for a rider project. The banner read "Ace tank" and the description read "Ace tank. May fit other models. Some rust in tank. Alloy gas cap and brass petcocks included" for $66. I could tell just from the picture that in fact it was a really nice Super Rat tank with a Webco billet alloy gas cap. Needless to say I jumped on it like a junk yard dog jumps on a t-bone steak. Keep digging and searching. They are out there.

$250 for a webco plug holder WOW! I got a deal I guess when I bought mine back in 1971 ! And I still have it 8o). I even have the webco adjustable main jet X's two

Rich

Hey Rich. Isn't that crazy!?! I had one on my Super Rat back in the late 70's. It came on the bike which I bought for $100 in 1977. It ended up in the metal scrap tub at the filling station I worked for still attached to the right down tube after I cracked the frame for the zillionth time and bought an RM250. The self-loathing for that move continues to this day. I never had the adjustable main jet. I'm glad you still have yours. I bet you are too .
