Terry May also have used parts which may fill the bill. It can’t hurt to ask!

But don’t give up on him. He and Hodaka Dave brought down I think a total of 4 or 5 semi truck loads of parts just from Strictly alone. He told me he’s still emptying boxes, identifying what’s there and making updates to the website. :ugeek: Victor

Hi Guys,

I usually don't have time to get on the Club Forum, but I guess I need to more often. First, the original post that started this thread, the writer had the wrong part number and no one checked. A Model 96 Dirt Squirt carb to filter boot is a 963605. Which we have in STOCK!!! Yes we are out of a lot of other boots, but we are looking to get these produced. Everyone was looking for the Model 95 boot, I ordered some and it took me almost 2 months to get just 10 from the manufacture. It is not as EASY as everyone thinks it is to get parts reproduced. The big want from everyone was the Harry Taylor Pipe, so I was able to get the manufacture to make us 25, they are very busy producing O.E.M. pipes and just don't have time to make ours, but they said they would make us a short run. These cost three times as much as when Paul had them made in 2016 due to the increase of raw materials used in this pipe. I kept the price the same as Paul did. We are barely covering expenses on these, but I wanted to help out the want from the Hodaka Community. As soon as these come in and we can recoup some of the money I laid out for these (I had to pay for these up front. Most companies will require this or a substantial down payment on non-stocking items), we will be looking into a Ace 100 piston/ring run. Bare with us everyone, it is only myself and my wife doing this and we are trying to answer phones, shipping parts, ordering replacement inventory, and still trying to finish unloading merchandise we got from Strictly and another dealer recently we obtained. And to answer one of the posts, we had to set phone hours or we would not be able to ship and pull parts. For example, one Monday, we answered 37 phone calls from 10-3 and 15 emails. So PLEASE be patient, we are trying our best!!!! Thank You----Terry & Bev

Well forum members! There you go! You’ve now heard from Terry directly! I did not want to speak totally on his behalf, but I did want to encourage folks to be patient just a little longer. You are now hearing what Terry is going through, and it’s obvious that he wants to provide as good or better service than has been provided in the past st any level. I support Terry wholeheartedly & have no reason to believe hevis going to “give up” on providing Hodaka parts & services along with Hodaka Dave! I be patient and remember to call if you don’t see something you need! :ugeek: Victor
