Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Thinking about putting motard CR80 forks/swingarm/wheels on the NS50F (upgrade to disc brakes front & rear and also use Honda RS125 rubber). Have to look more closely at what would have to be done for rear suspension but fun to think about!

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Just bit the big bullet and ordered the rearsets for the NS50 from WeBike Japan. Man, I hope they are worth it... I'll take pics when they arrive.

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Thanks for the info on the MacCrane rearsets Jon! Before I heard from you, I had sent them an email asking which of the two versions was correct for my US version 1990 NS50F (referenced their part numbers in my message). They responded saying that they didn't recognize either part number! So I respo...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Hey Jon Thanks for the info about your research on these. Which ones would be the correct part number to order? Did they ever tell you that? I actually lived in Japan for 8 years - saw a lot of different MacCrane product over the years there. Not excellent quality but not bad. Big thing for me is ge...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Looking to buy the MacCrane Rearsets off the Japan WeBike website for my NS50F. However, I'm a little concerned about buying the correct set. They have one (1-1502) which is listed for NS50 87 and the other set (1-1503) listed for NS50 -87. Confusion for me is if the 87 is for 1987 only, or does the...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Michelin Gazelle M62's seem to be available in the right sizes and get nice reviews...

Thoughts or recommendations?

Tires for stock size wheels on the NS50F - What are available, what to buy, and where?
My NS50F tires have LOTS of weather cracks...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Picked up an NS50F myself this morning. Except for having been painted an orangish-red, it's all stock. Plan to do a few small things to it but basically leave it alone and ride it.

Re: Looking for Scooter Mechanic in Michigan

Thanks Tjams - very happy with the scooter! Used on a couple of quick errands over the weekend and took the "scenic" route on both of them so I could enjoy a slightly longer ride!! I'll put you down as first on the list if/when I sell it, which will make my neighbor sad (he took it for a q...

Re: Looking for Scooter Mechanic in Michigan

They shipped the parts to my house (didn't get delivered until 5:30pm). I dropped them off at FedEx tonight but they won't get to East Lake until Friday. And schedule looks like it's going to have to be July 23 for pick-up. I guess I can wait another week...
