Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I think the NQ50D was the white Spree with the mint green color accents. Nothing mechanically different, just a cosmetic treatment.

Awesome! Those are exactly what I'm looking for!

And Jeebus, that brush is DONE. Mine aren't that worn, but they aren't pretty either.

. Actually you can buy brand new panels for that bike from a guy in San Francisco. $220 or so for a complete set in several colors. Check SF craigslist. Those 87's are nice bikes- I have one -Nathan He goes by halfpricetrade on eBay. Last I checked, he was out. Maybe he's got a line on panels, as th...

It's an '87 Elite 150. The body panels are even harder to score than the '87 Elite 50s. That's a parts bike at best. The front fork is '87 only, but the motor will bolt directly into '85-'87 Elite 150s and '84 Elite 125s. The motor is a GY6LC and can push that bike over 62mph, so it may be worth hav...

Ordered one of the starter rebuild kits from Jack's. I'll post on contents when I get it.

Funny thing is, reading through those postings, I had an idea for another definition: speilchecker ( Shp eel-czecher) n. 1. An application designed to analyse a lengthy or extravagant post and automatically correct for comprehension, punctuation and grammar. The guy who writes that one should be giv...

crap i thought this thread was about making sandwiches and ingredients used. i was going to suggest some type of vessel-(bread) and maybe a few dill pickle slices(long way) and maybe a slice or two of probaloney cheese... is it a "geerow" or a "ji-roe" ? :naughty: I think it's p...

Congrats on the TG50 and very useful info in here. Thanks Brad! I kinda feel like I'm cheating on the Spree by back-burnering it, but I don't feel too guilty as everything but the chassis plastics, wiring loom, frame and rims seems to be broken. I preordered for Taz's next BBK, so it'll be a while ...

Is there any way to eyeball the proper orientation of the starter motor can during assembly? The starter came fully disassembled in a gourmet cookie carton. I've figured most of it out, but I still have some mystery bits. Trying to leave it be until I finish rebuilding the '78 JC Penny Pinto I have ...

Search is good, for I have found some Zen. Thank you, Mouse. Direction of Rotation Info: http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6209 Rebuild Parts: http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4575 Still need a bum starter, as one of the phenolic plates for the brush to...

So I've picked up my TG50 Gyro and the starter is boned. The brushes are chipped and severely worn down. Also, a phenolic pad that the brushes glide on is MIA. Wondering if the Spree starter is similar enough to cannibalize for parts. The motor housing looks very similar, but I'm not sure on the mou...

Thanks, Mouse! Paid for it tonight, and just in the nick of time. A local collector learned of the bike through the local Honda dealer and tracked down the owners. He offered $800 cash immediately. Fortunately, the owner was a stand-up guy and honored our deal. I just hope the previous owner doesn't...

I'm highly partial to the '62-'65 Vespa VBB2 bikes. Badged as "Vespa 150", they were the quintessential '60s Vespa. They're neither quick or as unique as other Vespas of the era. Still, I love the lines and the handy glovebox in the left rear cowl.

az_slynch i would look for the same issuse as any other scooter,plus the fact that i might peek at the under cariage with attention to the moving parts of the axle that makes up the rear end. but for 250-260 dont thni your going to get hurt to bad. good find if you ask me. i want one now. The under...
