Hydroforming Expansion Chambers
So I've been doing some research on expansion chamber design. I came across an article that was very informative about designing pipes with software and then micro breaking individual cones and so on. Anyway the author of the article wrote that there is a more efficient way to build the pipes with h...

Re: 86 Spree nq50 stretch
That bike is wild swimmingfree, thanks for sharing! We actually picked up the Aero on Saturday so at the moment we're mostly just in the planning stage. My buddy who owns the bike is 6'6" so the plan is to stretch the center of the frame a good amount to give him some much needed leg room, he l...

Re: 86 Spree nq50 stretch
Thanks swimmingfree! We're kind of starting up a little riding group of low rider scooters and peds in my town. Currently there is 5 bikes under the knife in my garage including my spree and the fa50. I'll put some pics of them together when we get the Puch Maxi, Honda Hobbit, and Aero done. This su...

Re: 86 Spree nq50 stretch
And in response to the air ride, I have $30 in the entire project so far including the cost of the scooter (free) lol so most likely not trying to drop that kind of money. Will instead probably lose the rear shock and run a solid bar to keep it from scraping too much. Not as nice of a ride as air ri...

Re: 86 Spree nq50 stretch
Thanks for the advice wheelman! The motor mount is actually the stock spree motor mount modified to add the extra length. I utilized all of the original mounting points, and even the rubber bushings. I am however also concerned about flex and twist at that point in the frame due to the added leverag...

Re: 86 Spree nq50 stretch
Thanks for the feedback guys! Got a few hours worth of work in on the Spree tonight. Relocated the rear turn signals, started fabricating the floor pan, and added some bracing to the frame as suggested! As for fatties, they're not in the budget right now, but come summer that may be a different stor...

86 Spree nq50 stretch
About 2 years back I came across an 86 Spree that a neighbor was giving away. Needless to say I snatched it up, got it running, and fell in love with the little bike. Last summer while attending a couple of car meets I saw tons of Rucks and took a liking the style a lot of those guys are running. Th...
