Re: Honda Aero nb50 to nh125 Swap Project
Had a little issue getting the exhaust flange sealed so I ordered a new gasket and this is what they sent me, it's less than half the thickness of a honda brand gasket. I sent this comparison pic and tried to explain it to the seller, all they said was "The gaskets seals on contact and does not have to compress like the OEM."
PSA: Do not buy gaskets from ebay seller: jaquishmotorsports , he list honda part numbers but sells aftermarket garbage gaskets.

try using shock extensions to raise up the rear of the bike. I had the same problem on my Spree when I was trying different exhausts. Scraped the ground in full lean doing 30 and nearly dumped it....it was a pucker moment.Tyler VR wrote: it scrapes the pavement when making sharp right hand turns because the spree sits a little lower]
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.

Dumping it because of my pipe scraping is my worst fear. I had to take every right turn wider and not lean, pretty much changed my riding style.Meatball wrote:try using shock extensions to raise up the rear of the bike.

But I was thinking about upgrading the rear shocks, the spree rides pretty rough. Maybe because it has two shocks on a scooter designed for one. With my aero project I'm more concerned about ride quality and I could also use another inch clearance between the license plate mount and rear tire. So maybe I'll start looking at some gas shocks that are a little longer.

Taking apart the drive face, It's over a 30 year old engine and this might be the first time it's been serviced. The belt was pretty cracked, pulleys a little grooved, clutch pads look a little low.
I've been thinking about upgrading the variator and clutch but nobody makes performance parts for the nh125. I've done thing in the past like lighter rollers, lightened the clutch bell, using jog clutch springs. But I would like to do more to improve performance. I've taken a few measurements with my dial caliper and I might take a gamble on running a performance variator and clutch off a different model engine...
