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.

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.
