Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So I just trimmed a '87 Aero motor mount up and used it like T-Jamz did in the wiki. The 'arms' that connect the tubes that hold the bolts are a little wider, so the left one gets trimmed a bit, not a problem structurally but when you're doing the cutting by hand with a hacksaw its a little annoying...

Thanks for all the ideas guys!

I PM'd G9 about those sweet looking polini filters.

Winter is fast approaching here in the PNW and I'm hoping to make my swapped spree rideable in wet weather. I believe the stock af05 airbox will not fit under the spree plastics, so this leaves me searching for ways to water shield the pod filter I currently have installed. Has anyone successfully d...

So does your '87 Aero mount have a neck on it that fits into the frame tube?

I have a '85 Aero mount, but it is just flat like in the parts fiche pic you posted.

Thanks for the info!

Totally forgot about the wiki

So does anyone know if it has to be a '87 SE50 mount or would a '88-'93 elite mount work as well?

So I have a 87 SE50 motor swapped into my spree. I turned the spree's motor mount around and used old roller weights for spacers, which works but causes a vibration when the rear suspension compresses (part of the motor comes down and touches a metal part of the mount). I'm also not 100% sold on the...

Thats amazing! Certainly would have made my swap easier.

The electrical matched with the 85 aero motor for me. You'll need to move the shock mount and either re-use the spree motor mount (as I did) or get a 88-93 Elite mount and trim it a little bit for fit. Lastly, the center stand has to come out, so if you don't always want to be leaning it on stuff yo...

Thanks for the help!

The vino was bogging with the #85, but after I de-snorkeled the airbox everything worked out. My buddy is super psyched to come pick his scooter up later today, and your advice helped big time.

So I'm helping a buddy put a 70cc kit on his vino and am hoping someone can give me some guidance on the jetting. We'll be keeping the stock carb & airbox, but the exhaust is a LV ZX (he bought it new from the dealer with this pipe 10 yrs ago). I've read pipe + kit = #85 main jet, but now I'm th...

Sounds like an awesome project, I hope you take lots of pics

Wow! I never thought I'd see someone actually do this, but its awesome to finally see.

Didn't know about the speedo being backwards though, thats too bad.

The metro axels are wider than an Aero/Elite, so unless Sprees are also wider (doubtful) this won't work without modding the hub.

Wow, blast from the past thread. Still stand by everything negative I said before about ethanol before, but there is some hope for renewable liquid fuels: http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/12/algae-go-in-biocrude-oil-comes-out/ While the whole ethanol thing isn't helping, the fact is that petroleu...
