The Hodaka Club Forum

Hi to everyone, I am new to the club and a new Hodaka owner I’m currently restoring a 68 ace and just bought a 73 combat to restore next, my thanks to strictly Hodaka for sending me here, I am in need of a muffler or at least an expansion chamber. They tell me the stock muffler is a flame thrower if anyone knows of one please let me know I sure would appreciate it.

Depends on which generation. The Combat Wombat has a flamethrower pipe on the 1st gen bikes, Jan-March or maybe early April. If it has shouldered rims AKA mud catchers. It should get a flamethrower pipe. If it has shoulderless rims, then it should get the later pipe.

First gen early mods also get grey cables & grips while 2nd gen get black cables & grips. There was a few mid gen bikes which had some but but not all the changes. Victor

Thanks for the info the bike has the mud catcher rims

Then you’ll want the flamethrower style exhaust for it, as shown in the photo below. Victor

Well, at least I know what it looks like thanks I think it’s going to be a very hard find I’m excited about this bike I’ll get started as soon as the ace is done maybe something will come along I see Hodaka part Idaho showed a pipe from a company called j&j engineering I called the number but no response may be an old posting but that pipe was an expansion chamber I would be ok with that
