Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for the link! Id like to go analog gauges if i could because i dont think a giant digital one would look right

Okay thanks. Im just looking for something that is real simple and cheap. What i was thinkin about doing is using the screw-in threaded mirror mounts on the handlebars as mounts for a CHT gauge on the left and a tach on the right

Is there a place anyone would recommend getting a CHT gauge from?

Ive only skimmed around online and it seems the standard gauge goes from 140-340 degrees F

Will this be enough to cover the range of a Spree with a 48bbk, 21mm OKO, 2.75-10 tires, taz gears, taz exhaust?

Nah i hear ya. But after sitting in a shed for 15+ years not everyting works the way it should

Wow they look great

Definately gettin a few of those once i get everything put back together and tuned well

Ill probably need some in the future cause i hope to repaint my Spree. What do they look like?

Huh, ill try that if i ever run into the same problem again.

Got the new cable in and installed

Just waiting on the new tires from Honda coming in on tuesday and then after break i cant start in on the pulley mod.

Still designing that CT spacer out of one piece of aluminum, we'll see how that one turns out

Yeah i literally used a syringe with a needle on the end of it to suck up oil and get it inside the sheath. It didn't come out the other end so then i did the same thing with industrial degreaser. No luck still. Calling and ordering a new cable from honda today

Okay thanks for all the help. Its definately the cable cause its seperated from the spree right now. I never thought i would have to tear this thing down to the extent that i am.

Oh, i didnt even see taz was sellin one on ebay.

Thanks

You dont think there is a way im gonna get this thing unstuck?

The front brake cable on my Spree doesnt move at all. Ive tried flushing it with a little 3 in 1, but it would even go down the sheath. Then i went and got some industrial degreaser and tried to get it down in the sheath with a sharinge and needle. I did that a couple of times and still no movement ...

What he said. Im doing it the hard way on my '84 by upgrading the stock engine and tranny. But everyone is telling me swap in a different motor ie a dio. If you want to go faster than 40+ then dont try to do it on the stock engine, im hearing its not realistic. But after im done with upgrading mine ...

The Iowa Spree is only able to achieve a top speed of close to 25mph

The regular Spree does right around 30mph as its top speed
