The Hodaka Club Forum

What can you use for a spark arrester for the Bad rock ride? Here in Utah I have raced desert with just a wire screen hose clamped over the end of the pipe for the arrester....will this work for the Bad rock ride? The wire screen is like the one used in a screen door. DG

What muffler do you have on your bike? Is it a stack muffler or a racing aftermarket?

I have a circle F pipe on it.

I Googled Circle F pipes and the site shows several models. None for a Hodaka. Which model has been adapted to your bike. If you can reference this pipe, perhaps Circle F has an arrester for it. Or at least one you can find. I saw several on eBay.

There is a Circle F Hodaka model and I bought mine from Paul last year.

They look for the forestry stamping on it as well as the screwdriver test.

Here's the pipe. Thanks Rich that is what I needed to know was do you need the stamp. Now where can I find one? DG

FMF Universal is the easiest to find. They run $150 roughly and you need to know if you need 1 1/8" ID or 1 1/4" ID inlet.

I think I've found a sparky that will work.....Thanks DG

Hey DG, I have the same pipe. What did you end up with on the spark arrestor? Mine requires ear plugs for competition. Did it help that problem?

Max

Max....I found a supertrap that will slid on the end but wont have it till next week. DG

Cool! Keep me posted if you would.---Thanks!

Max

Nice picture of your Hodaka.
What engine do you have in it?

It is a 94 bottom end with a 03 cylinder and a radial head that RK Tek did for me. pipe is a circle F and a PWK 28mm carb.

Max I also found this spark arrestor on ebay for a rm80 and it was a bolt on.

Hey Doug, thanks for posting the pictures and info! I need to do something like that on my circle F pipe to make it forest legal. Be sure to take ear protection on your epic journey. We don't want you coming back "hearing impaired" like us old racers. Enjoy tour trip!

PS---I forgot to say the bike looks great!

Max...this bike is my wife's bike that I'm just finishing so she can ride the poker run at this years hodaka days.

Wow, another nice machine, I wish I could be there but too many irons in the fire this year. Do have fun!

I would be interested to know what carb you used, what jets you ended up with and what you had to do to the carb to breather boot to get it to fit. I am setting up a CW with a reed and thinking of switching to the spigot mount carb.

Bill...I think I got the manifold for it off eBay and the boot is the stock 95 cut back about 1/2 inch. One thing that I need to do is get some studs for the manifold.
