Special Teaser

[socalhodaka]

If you have done a full Hodaka restoration, you know sometimes you end up with a couple bikes to work from. This is just the case here for a special Model 96 Dirt Squirt.
Here is the donor bike

as nice as it looks as a starter bike it was full of miss match engine parts.
Add donor #2

after a few days of total disassemble this is what we have.

A good set of center cases, cleaned, blasted and ball burnished. This gives a nice durable clean finish.

Parts separated for chrome, zinc and paint .

Evaluate and looking for the correct and best parts to use for the project.
Look for more on what makes this project special in up coming Resonators news letters.

Brian, this is a project is being done by Greg and Diane Watkins and myself. I'm so lucky to live close enough, well hour and half away. Any chance I get to help on project with them I can't pass up, I have learned so much about Hodaka's and restorations.

Is that a Preston Petty number plate/tool box? If you aren't going to use it, do you want to sell it?

It's all broken to bits from dry rot.
