Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Picked up a non running '87 Spree and I'm trying to get it back on the road. It hadn't run in a LOOOONNG time and the kid I bought it from couldn't get it running and gave up on it. Long story short, I decided to throw a new top end on it. Bought a piston and cylinder off of Amazon and figured, all ...

If the price is reasonable, I'd be interested in a pipe.

AX23 is definitely too short as I have one sitting in my garage right now with an AX24 on the bike.

I was just up there the other day and was sitting at a light next to a guy wearing a suit riding a Spree to work. Didn't get a chance to talk to him because we were a couple of lanes apart. Just curious if it was someone here.

I use it.

Can't wait!

BEHOLD!!! Performance pipe v1.0 http://www.wilit.com/web/pipe.jpg I started this project with a spare stock Spree muffler. I cut it open, cleaned it out, drilled a hole in the baffle and welded it back up to see if there was any performance gain. No noticeable difference in pickup or top end, so per...

I have a spare muffler I picked up off of eBay that I wanted to do some experimenting on. It's kinda rough on the outside, so it's perfect for what I have planned. First step was to decarbonize it. In the Wikispreedia page, it says a clean Spree muffler weighs about 3 pounds. I threw mine on the sca...

I PM'd Taz the other day, he doesn't sell the 44mm kits anymore. Its only stock 41mm or 48mm kits now.

Awesome! I work at Ygnacio and Oak Grove. It'd be cool to make it out to this ride.

What kind of compression number should I be seeing?

Right now it tops out at 26mph. Take off is incredibly slow. I need to give a good push with my feet to get rolling and it takes a good distance to get up to top speed.

Yeah, it runs ok. Its no speed demon for sure.

But my no reeds test was higher than my test with reeds.
