The Hodaka Club Forum

Back in the 60s we used to buy VW Beetles for $50. We would strip them down and shorten them and drive them in the woods. Those chrome exhaust tips got reused as silencers on a lot of small motorcycles. Good memories

I remember those pipes
I had buddies that played with VWs too

I will look into those

Muffler found (thanks Mike) and installed (thanks again mike ) It quieted it down a considerable amount

painted the pipe

Now a Kawasaki found its way into my garage


It is a 1969 G4 100cc

Some of yall may be familiar with the G4TR Trail Boss

This is the predecessor of the Trail Boss (no dual range gearbox)



Got it in a trade and she runs

I want a flat track bike in 100cc class so this might be it

My first flat track bike was a Hodaka. It was a real beater that wouldn't shift right, but I learned a lot about the shifting mechanism by tinkering with it. It was stock and clapped out. I threw an expansion chamber pipe on it and had a ball battling for last place with my brother, who was also riding a Hodaka. A local Kawasaki dealer let me ride his G31m. I got a second place in the 125 class and had to go out and find one of my own. That bike would really scream!
My younger brother had a G4TR with the Hi-Lo range. The oil injection tank had a really cool picture of a long horn skull on it.

my boss wanted me to use my hodaka but I would rather use this free bike
I will stick a trials on the front and a street tire on the rear
If I decide I like flat tracking I will get a bike to ride for permanent

I am putting skins on the wheels tomorrow
A couple trials tires I will see how it works I am sure it will be better than the clapped tires on the bike

I put tires on the Cowasockie
I also removed the front brakes, the lights, stuck a number plate on
and some socks

Put a real Hodaka front fender on Hope today

the Cowasockie lost some weight today
I took the battery, the oil tank (I will run mix from now on ) and added a kill button
I also found another square number plate

I found some info from a Powroll catalog I gunna leave here

I don't know if all, or any of his was done to my bike but food for thought

My first and second motorcycles were Hondas. So the Poweroll information is sort of interesting. But you do know this is a Hodaka page right? We'd be more interested in information about your Hodaka.

I have used this to document the progress of all my bikes
I do use these to catalog my Hodaka stuff but I use the other as filler

Hay frog can you tell me who made this pipe?

Looks homemade to me. Reasonably well made - but homemade.

New pics of the Cowasocki

Moo, hmm. Is that a Honda C105T (Trail 55: iron head, pushrod) over on the other bench or the C100 with the leg guards removed?

Good eye it is the C105T 55

MOO
