Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hello again! This thread will be all about my newest project, a 1987 Honda Aero 50. The plan is to swap an aero 125 engine onto the 50 frame and do some refurbishing along the way.

I was lucky enough to find this aero 50 for only $60, craigslist find. It runs but is making internal noises, maybe a crank bearing. The previous owner over sprayed it with stain while spraying his fence, torn seat and cracked plastics. But for being 30 years old and nearly complete I can't complain much.

Here's the donor power plant prior to disassembly, a 1984 Honda Aero 125 I picked up for $100.

That gas tank is from a war destroyer

More pics of the aero, I rubbed off the stain will alcohol.

Cracked plastics need repair, looks like it was laid down on this side.

Looks like it swide swiped a pole or a car backed into it.

I offered it for sale.
The panel is 86-87, Red, NOS, never been mounted.
There are minor shelf marks from being out of the packaging for a while.
Should you want to utilize it with this newest build, I will make you a stunning deal.
Reply pm please.....mm....

Thanks for the offer Mike, but I'll probably just repair the cracks from the back of the panel for now. Someday I might come across some nice white panels...

Wow, that thing cleaned up pretty good.

Shoot me $10 and I'll send you a new lens for that blinker. Its NOS.

Pulled the 50 off the aero

First test fit of the nh125, swap looks doable.

Does that nh125 motor have dual rear shocks or is it an optical illusion?

yep, dual shocks on the nh125.
