Nice machines guys! My 94A wasn't as slick as yours. There were too many street parts missing so I went the competition route on mine. If you hadn't seen it before here's the before and after pictures. I'm currently working on a Combat Wombat cylinder to replace the iron one. Mods are GEM reed, 28mm carb, Circle F pipe, CW head and R piston, reworked forks with Progressive rear shocks and on and on. I'm a 1942 model and the 94A is a 1973, we have a good time together! :D

PS--thanks for sharing your pictures! (I'm looking for a stock one for one of my many "next projects")

Having my brother in law redo the seat for me and I got a new rear fender on the way (old one cracked) that's why I left them out of my after paint pic. I'm also going to try to get my sister who is a great artist to design me a cartoon of a "trail whale" for me to add somewhere on my bike in decal form. I couldn't afford a hodaka with an awesome name or cartoon to go with it so I'm going to make best of the 250sl until maybe one day I can get another! The bottom picture on my previous post was the picture That was on craigslist so I had a pretty hard time convincing my girlfriend that I need a hodaka!!! Ii think she will come around to it soon . Tho I'm sure if I was bringing home a shiny chrome wombat she would have been more for it! Here's a few more lemme know what ya think
