...would you suggest a good starting point for clamp position on the forks and screen angle(relative to the forks) ? I'm 5'8"

I'm 5'-8",... and my first bigboy bike was a Hodaka, Wombat...
Doug B stole my life...
Do do,.. do do,.. do do,.. do do...(that's the Twilight Zone theme song,.. in case I spelled it wrong)...
Huh

...

... and this, triggered another thought...
My first bike... a Hodaka Wombat...

... my Savage...

... is this a mid-life crisis?... (PS... my Hodie had a custom seat... guess what it looked like?...
PSS,... I used to have a chrome tail rack on my Savage)...
... and this thought never consciously occurred to me 'till now... Huh

...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

When I was in junior high.....around 1970, the local Hodaka dealer was Roy Lippiat in Salem, OH. If you wanted to race in the 100cc class the Hodaka was about your only choice, as Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda had not yet started building good Hare Scrambles or motocross bikes. Every bike he sold was burning Castor Oil.........and I still remember that smell every time someone mentions Hodaka!

Someday I will be old......But not today!
