Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I have a white Iowa Spree, and I want to paint the floorboard tread black. I DO Not want to replace with a black board. Has anyone tried rattle-can spray on bedliner for this, or have any other suggestions? all spray paint basically sucks. and much worse on high wear areas. i would not attempt. i w...

dosent take long for a uni to take in water either. make a shield.

this is what i use in mine. works perfect. and dosent add a load like the band aid fixes.

i get nervous beyond 50 with steel belted tires. i wouldnt do it with a scoot tire. i think you really just need to lube it a lot more. use straight dish soap. i have never had this issue really with a scoot tire.

power fist?? ive seen that video once, or twice..

what are you airing them up to? i aired mine up to 40 before they popped on the bead. i wouldnt go higher then 50ish though.

i would probably check compression first if it dosent run when hot..

when buying parts for my sa-50, i got screwed the first time because it lists half the bearings/seals, under "transmission", and half under "crank case" maybe it will be the same for you.

i will look when i get home from work. (is as low as your pic when sitting on the bike, and maybe 3/4" higher with no weight on it. lol.) i weigh about 175. speedo cable problem looks easy enough, just pull it out of the stem, and run it up with the brake cable.

I definitely understand and agree with you. im hoping by only going an inch it wont be to stiff and tolerable for short cruises into town. i havnt had my fork apart in a while but if i recall i think you can put some washers on one end of the spring to get the spring to stiffen up a touch. either w...

96 only? because my 00' is sealed.

if you feel inclined. no biggie.

basically what happened was the angle the swing arms were at put much more pressure on the springs then what they were designed for. i should have had enough travel, but the springs just werent strong enough to hold it up.
