Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

is it possible to space it over to one side or shoyld i just grind it down to fit? i put on 2.75X10 tires and it now hits one side. what to do?

I had the same problem when I put 3.00'' tires on the spree.
I just removed the center stand and used a aluminum bike side stand and it works great

i thought about that but i still want to be able to let it run on the stand without the possibility of it falling. i have kids that should say enuff.

I took Flash's to a welder along with a paper template showing the desired width and length. Heated, bent, widened, now fat tires clear the ground for warmup and tire removal.

You could measure the tire and the stand. If the stand's wide and long enough and just needs re-centering, chop 1/2 of the needed width from the tight side at the pivot and thread the chunk of cylinder on the loose side to move the stand over. Add a thin washer to make up for the sawblade kerf and reassemble.

Remove the stand bend it to the desired angle. Weld on 1" box tubing to the bottom. Gives it a wider stance. If you do it right it still tucks underneath.

great tips im going to work on this tonite possibly

Try not to add too much weight, as the spring then struggles to keep it retracted. When you hit bumps mid-corner, the sparks are spectacular, but can add to your laundry costs.
