Re: 85 spree fuse and start problems

Re: wheel bearings 87 spree

im more concerned about sand blasting getting into the bearings. also do you grease the bearings or are they wet sealed? and are there grease seals? I have new tires and these wheels are off a 87 parts bike.

Re: 87 spree carburetor kit questions

I figured it was too good to be true. OEM or NOS is always the best route. I tried a after market kit for a mustang mach 1
carb and finally had to do over with Barry Grant one. thanks for the detailed info. I wish honda had a kit as complete.So far all I find are parts here and there. thanks again
