So I just replace my exhaust and muffler system on my 87 spree. Used a stock muffler purchased second hand for 30$ As I rode around for a bit I noticed I was creating a bit of a smoke screen behind me. I am leaning toward several conclusions. The first being that I dripped a little too much thread lock on the dowels and its burning off. The other is that the new pipe is causing to rich of a mixture.
While I'm at it I jut realized that I have been running with no air filter in the box. Gonna have to rectify that as well.
Any suggestions for either white smoke issue, or recommendations for good aftermarket filters? A part no for oreilly would be nice if possible

You likely have a lot of oil in that exhaust from the PO. Buy an OEM filter from Honda they are less than $5 and stop running it without one.
Sounds good, is there a particular OEM supplier you can think of, preferably one which doesn't try to gouge me with 10.00$ in shippin on a 3 dollar part.

Also what is the OP. (I'm new and learning:D )

PO... Previous Owner. Your LOCAL Honda dealer. Pick it up from them to avoid shipping.
