Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Nice work! subscribed!

:newb: I've got an 85 spree project to rebuild. I'm having electrical problems. I've changed the ignition switch [ old one had no keys and was clogged]. I'm getting power to and out of the switch but no power to the starter switch, blinker, or head light. The tail light, horn and brake light work. ...

Yes, it's a nice neighborhood but a guy with multiple scooters always terrorize it.. and I'm not gonna say who it is.

very nice!

Ha! yeah I need some kind of fender. Thanks!

quick update.

I started on a ruckus, basically learned everything I know now from it and that includes swapping motors, wiring, fabricating stuff to make it work. Even worked on minibikes and swapped lifan motors. I am new to the 2 stroke as well but let me tell you, I had more fun riding these 2T bikes than any ...
