Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just got one of those business cards yesterday.

Just a wee bit faster than the 1966 record, set by a Kriedler. It was supercharged! Details on that one here:

Seconded. I've done well by them many times.

Physically, 35. Mentally...less than 35.

My '85 Spree project came with a 2.75-10 on the rear and it was rubbing the fender/airbox, most noticably on the muffler side of things. I suspect the fender/airbox get tossed if you plan to run a tire wider than stock. Looks like it would fit up front, but it may rub if you come down on the front e...

My Spree goes all the way to 11...mph.

1) Top end rebuild on my '87 Audi Coupe GT. 2) Reassemble and tune my '71 CB500F. 3) Full teardown and rebuild on my V9A1 (yeah, scooter). 4) Resurrect a VX500 that a buddy just acquired. 5) Refresh an '80 Suzuki GS750E for another buddy. It does stay nice here through the winter, so I'm probably go...

So the story goes: Colleague goes home to Mexico. We tell him to bring back tamales. He brought back swine flu. I'd blame the language barrier but I know he comprehends English much better than he speaks it. Avoid this ailment, amigos. It's a helluva way to ruin a weekend. Felt well enough today to ...

I'm interested in how the CH80 turns out. Mine's due for an overhaul. Topped 11K on the clock and it's feeling a bit tired. Probably time for a hone/new rings/valve job. Cleaning out the oil screen couldn't hurt either.

I'll see what I can find. Need to get some gaskets anyway, I have two longblocks to redo.

I've heard the '82 or '83 Express had a very small / thin variator that might fit. I've never heard of anyone running this down to try though. The AF04E motors do have a relatively small variator, but the electric start probably won't be viable. the bendix on an AF04E drives a gear pressed onto the...

My pedal-assisted mess:



'78 Batavus VA. I recommend other marques. This one was a desert derelict and I felt sorry for it.

i've read repeatedly that honda's 4-strokers (though less powerfull than their 2-stroke counterparts) are some of the most stupidly reliable, low maintenance machines ever. :ndance: Agreed. My '87 CH80 is pretty reliable. Gas it up and change the oil every thousand miles. Admittedly, I've spoiled i...
