Re: Elite 150 ...worth it for a short term daily driver??

Best way to increase storage space is to invest in a fancy new backpack or get a storage "trunk" box and bolt it to the rear rack. Get the right storage box and it'll have a soft back pad to lean back on for those long commutes. Read the "Design and Amenities" section about stora...

Re: 1987 SE50 Side Panels Worth

They ARE difficult to find...IN GOOD SHAPE. The "rough" ones with cracks, scratches and/or missing tabs are considerably less desirable since most people buying these parts are looking to replace THEIR damaged/ugly ones. Prices are ultimately determined by the condition and what someone is...

Re: Honda Aero nb50 to nh125 Swap Project

Cant wait to see this thing done. Gonna be a ripper for sure. I thought about doing this swap but all the nh125's around here for sale are overpriced. Waiting for a good deal to come along. Hmm, I wonder how far the tiny Spree gas tank will get you with this motor? Whats the MPG on the 125? My Spree...

Re: my new 88 prebug build

Rather have something stronger than a spot welded sheet metal frame for those off road bumps n jumps. My BMX days as a kid I remember snapping a couple frames on dirt jumps and back then I weighed 120 or so. Now that I tip the scales at about 200 and don't heal overnight Ive learned not to play with...

Re: my new 88 prebug build

Yeah, I heard Bent Bike was closing so I called em a few weeks ago and asked if they had any 80's-90's Honda scooter parts. The guy was clueless on his inventory and told me I had to just come down and dig through the mountain of random sheit. I didn't wanna make the 1-1/2 hour drive to find out...s...

Re: Hate when a deal pops up and I cant buy...or can I?

15mi ride today was a success. Runs like a dream at 39mph holding wot for like 5 minutes. Strange, this is the second bone stock, unresticted se50 Elite "S" Ive had and both of them had #82 main jets. I bought a restricted se50p and it had an #82 as well. I thought only the Iowa had the #8...

Re: Hate when a deal pops up and I cant buy...or can I?

The story behind it was the old dude that bought the Elite new in 1987 rode it for 5-6yrs and had racked up 2,400mi or so then had laid it down. He parked it in his garage where it sat for 20+ years and never rode it since. He gave it to his grandson to try and get it running but couldn't so that's ...
