Honda spree fork swap to elite fork
Does anyone know any posts where someone has taken the elite sa50 front forks and swapped it into the spree? Im trying to see how i should do it correctly and how it will turn out. Swapping the wheel and all into the spree for my engine swap. Thanks

Re: Honda spree fork swap to elite fork
Ive seen it done. Requires cutting/welding the Spree stem to fit the Elite forks and the fender plastic needs to be butchered also. Its quite a bit of effort to end up with stock elite forks/shocks/brakes....seems like it'd be more practical to upgrade the whole she-bang if you go through that much trouble. Those new stems that SSS has are pricey, IMO, but if youre looking for an upgrade those are the best way to go. Of course, then you have to piece together all the other components: Calipers, rotors, legs, axels, axle pullers etc...which would increase the investment drastically.
I know the Spree front forks/shocks are wimpy and the Elite ones are definitely an upgrade but...not that much.

I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.

Go disc brake front - you are swapping in a dio! I have a dio stem that could work.

Where do the NCY things go?
Re: Honda spree fork swap to elite fork
I have a couple spree's and an elite all with NCY disk setups on them. All stop and handle 100% better than stock. I think they are very important when you get the bike to 60+ because the drum brakes can be unsafe if you have to stop in a hurry. Some lady pulled in front of me at about 65 this summer and if I had stock brakes my spree and me would have been in her trunk. It is quite expensive but get on the ruckus forums and you can find them for a deal from people parting their ruckus builds. On a budget the elite would be a lot better than the spree front end, but I agree with Brandon it isn't the prettiest

To my knowledge no one offers a bolt on kit right?

Do the "NCY disk setups" come as a kit?Gearhart wrote:

Are those Ruckus forks that just drop in? Or do you need to weld on a Ruck tube?
I'll be in Portland next week. I need to stop by Scooter Swap Shop with a shopping cart and load it up.

Sweet!!graphite9 wrote:Nice! so there is no bolt on disk kit for the spree. I do have it for the elite. You can get it for the elite and shorten it to fit spree pretty easily.
About two years ago, i did bring up the idea of a bolt on kit, complete with wheels for $550. People were disgusted with the price and wanted it for $250. That being impossible, That ship sailed, and I got billet stems for elite made by ncy. This stem can be cut shortened or weld the spree stem to the top. Not hard to do. As for parts, I have it all. stems, forks, axles, brakes, calipers, adapters, master lines etc.
I'll just leave my Visa at your place. I'm sure you will be using it more than I will.
