The Word is Baskets !!!

[Juanzx]

Did they ever make an original basket for the spree ??? Or is everything aftermarket ... What type of basket do u have and what do u recommend

[mousewheels]

Honda had a front and rear basket as an accessory. They are fairly sought after. Aftermarket should not be too hard to adapt.
Please Post baskets you find. I be looking too. I'm working on a cargo and racks thread.

Pic below is member abreen89's basket


Pic below is from member drona who had a 'euro spree'. Note mounting differs from abreen's. Also abreen's basket has roundy loops at the front vs square corners.

There's many postings for baskets. The two posted are from local threads. Run a search and find 'em.

Also - check the wiki Honda Brochure. Click Me!

i got my basket off a craigslist aero. i saw it on the bike in the picture ,called him, and asked if he would sell it to me for $15, he did

that being said i have only once seen a basket on ebay in the year or so i've been into honda scooters. it sold for $107 and was in very poor condition ( the basket is metal but covered in a rubber guard. this tends to break off)

...asked if he would sell it to me for $15, he did

good deal!

Juanzx - have you found any aftermarket baskets to post?

-- Front --
I found eBay has a Sym Samba basket (item - 130526529116). It is similar in look to the Honda. You would need to adapt/fab mounts to make it work on a Spree.

In the pic below of a Samba, they put the basket on backwards from Hondas

a Honda c70 front basket bolts to the spree front rack if you have one. the rack is hard to find

Pretty much any rear rack, it's got simple top/bottom clamps for mounting. I've got one in the garage loft, will take it down for pics.

Also - thanks for links to Urban Express and CT70 baskets

Just received a Sym Samba front basket - pic/link posted earlier in this thread.

Mine shows sloppy production in several areas:

1) Coating has many pinholes (pics 1,2)
2) Horizontal (top, middle and bottom) wire supports are crooked (pics 3,4,6)
3) They left the hanging wire used for coating on the rack (pic 5)
4) Under the coating pinholes, there's already rust. (pics 7,8,9)

My spree came with a white rear basket. it has 2 brackets that go underneath the rear rack, then 4 screws to hold the basket do them. It even says honda on the back I'll get some pictures in the next couple days.
