The air cleaner graphics are in nice "Survivor" shape, so I won't be touching them. A fellow vintage guy that has a wombat saw it and got pretty excited. Started salivating at the mouth and started stringing together nonsensical words like "perfect, original....stock....must have...classic". I told him I agreed as I gently pried the cleaner housing from his trembling hands. I took his response to mean it looks nice.
After that I pulled the carb, only to reveal the scummy top of the motor. It was at this point I decided it would be easier to pull the whole thing out and clean it.
In doing that I got a good view of the footpeg mounts and sighed...more to clean. On the plus side, I thought it was pretty cool that Hodaka was doing adjustable footpegs way back in the early 70's. Shows how out of the box they were. You can simply loosen the fasteners and slide the whole assembly forward and back in the frame.
