I do enjoy the heck out of it, just need to get out on it more often...

Its bark is bigger than its bite 😅

Thanks!

They are 250cc Hodaka forks - off a road rat or something? It was out in the parts yard and they looked like a big upgrade over the stock honda! I adapted the original stem bearing to fit tthe hodaka triples and sleeved the honda axle to fit in the forks. Also had to make a new brake arm but that was easy. Out back are can-am shocks. It all fits the 'free parts bike' theme!

@@zachsbikeadventures I’m currently building a 1970 sl175 as a hair scramble racer, I love the videos and love hearing that thing sing through the woods. What spokes did you use to do the 21” swap? Haha I’m very interested

@@user-yi9dj9lc1k The rim and spokes were pulled off of a yamaha ty250. The SL has a larger brake drum so the spokes are too long but if you lay them over more (one extra cross) they are the perfect length. It was a total stroke of luck that I figured this out. I'm glad to hear there will be another off road SL out there! People never believe what these things can do offroad and they get lots of attention.

@@zachsbikeadventures thank you for actually responding and do you ever go to mid Ohio AMA vintage days?

no I've only ever raced here in Canada. I'd love to get down to the states for some bigger crowds @@user-yi9dj9lc1k
