Re: Color

When we use the term hodakas are red that was the term often used. When you describe the color of paint on a early hodaka, red is not a term to describe the original paint for the ace 90, ace100and the 100B's. They were a red orange, no more red than max's color but not a bright red. Clarence

Re: Ace 100 Frame Color(S)?

The hodaka, painted black Nigerian motorcycle also had a black wire cover. They were offered to the dealers at quite a discount as I remember, or else I would never have bought them. My receipt shows that I sold one June 26 1970. my hodakas sold fast sometimes ordering 6 a week. I sold mine to a cus...

Re: Color

Having uncrated many over 100 new hodakas in the day, my observation was they were not red. they had a tint of orange, but not a faded red. They may have faded more on the sunny side of Texas and New Mexico. I never sold a dirt squirt so can't comment on its color. I did sell about 50 super rats. I ...

Re: New to the game!!

I would start with seals and gaskets you will need them. Other than that, the condition of the other other engine parts and the acceptable tolerances would dictate what to order. I would not bore and use a new piston, if it was good to go. ---- Clarence

Re: Hodaka Q&A

Ed your answer is the one I was looking for. I think it has something to do with our age (my age)? To us of the past, a long stroke engine is going to be a slow rpm engine with a lot of torque, boom, boom, boom. A short stroke engine is not going to have allot of torque but will be a screamer.

Re: Hodaka Q&A

Victor the 92B had a high fender also. The front fender and fender stay are the same between the 92B and the 92B+. The only difference between the literature and , brochure are for the 92B verses the 92B+ are the chain/sprocket and engine internals on the 92B+. Clarence

Re: Hodaka Q&A

On page 62 of the HODAKA book written Ken Smiths it mentions several times that a Ace100A never existed. That is absolutely correct there was never a model Ace 100A ever produced. The three models produced after the Ace 100 were each called a 100B so you had a 100B (model 92A), a 100B - model (92B) ...
