That front end doesn't look correct but hard to tell from pics, looks to be too short, or possible collapsed.

I haven't found anyone who can quote what year they may be. If it is the wrong front end it doesn't make it easier. If it is an Alsport would put it in the early 70s.

Motor parts you can get from Strictlyhodaka.com, or Hodaka-parts.com. You'll want what they sell as an "overhaul bundle". It gives you all parts you need to replace all the bearings, seals, gaskets, screws etc. As to restoring the bike you can pick a model and use that as a point of reference for your build. Or you can build it how you want, there are several tank decal options, and you can paint it as you like.

Mike, how far away are you from Hopewell? There is a fellow there who may be able to help you.

The owners of Hodaka-parts.com may be able to answer your questions also. They were buying up parts to start building Steens.
