honda still has alot of parts what you looking for, i will ask my honda dealer, there right up the street from me, and there real good with me cuz i am always working on something so they will look harder for s***, allot of times they will tell people they dont have it just cuz they dont want to look

not sure because I haven't ever used bikebandit or this site, but I'm considering both for some small parts I'm getting some time in the near future

They seem to have quite a bit of stuff for my bike at least

haha ! man, that was going to be my s/n for the forum!! dub it! but anyway i was looking for a plug,filter,fuse,battery etc... it just blew me away that my local honda dealer didnt know what an aero was, but i managed to get a plug and oil from napa... out of all the places. i think im going to try bikebandit, and give feed back from my experiance with em' for anyone else in the future.

I got the exact plug stated in the Spree manual from O'Reilly Auto, air filter and GN2 oil from the local Honda place, Wal-Mart carries the battery cheaper than anyone else. I also ordered a new carb gasket set from Honda (my carb seems to be leaking around the main gasket) which should be in by Friday they said. I just took in the part numbers and had them look them up. Didn't bother saying what I wanted the parts for. Although they might have seen me ride up on the Spree and park it. *lol*

I like cheapcycleparts because the parts diagrams are easier to read and if a part is NLA they usually have it listed that way. With my local dealer's online parts lookup you have to print the diagrams to read them and they don't even list the part numbers.

I just placed an order with them for some small items. They have the Spree decals... the smaller ones.

Also found the kick stand spring at $1.21. Mine is worn.

The air cleaner filters are only $2.58 from them.

BTW: They have the Spree batteries for $24 (plus shipping of course) Already bought a new one from Walmart. It's sitting in the box as mine is still gong strong.

Added some of that battery juice (Charge-It) . Seems to work!

i cant imagine that anywhere on the internet can sell a battery + shipping and keep it lower than what you can get at local auto store or walmart

as far as aero50s go, get a 4lb battery from the powersports section. i picked one up and put the acid in, charged it and it's good to go.

it wasn't "cheap" but not that bad, either. I can't remember how much, but at walmart the 4lb batteries are like 35-40

Oh, I agree. That's why I bought mine at Walmart... but, if you are ordering parts from them anyway they will probably hit you with a minimum shipping charge so adding in the battery may work out in the end.

It looks to be the the original Honda style with the side drain hose and caps for each cell. The Walmart version has no drain so the acid will bubble out and around the single rubber seal.

true.

the one i picked up at AutoZone (I think) had the caps and whatnot, where you have to dump the acid in yourself, if that's what you mean.

So if they're near the same price then you could avoid those problems just by not buying the one at Walmart, I guess.
