Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

My only concern is how tight the space is in there behind the bulb with the wiring and speedo cable. That's not an issue. The LED modules are flat; the only reason this "bulb" is that size is b/c it uses the existing mounting. I'll PM you the details. The only downside I see is that there...

Re: Rear brake cable

Yep. That guy used to post here, and I remember him stocking the rear brake cable for these bikes.

Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

Meanwhile, this design's close. Need to finish fitting fastener sizes, and work in the LED lamp. There's a few a couple options; hard to tell how they'll work but most modern LED lighting is pretty bright.

Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

@Rideslikenacho do you have a 3D printer? Or would you need to buy a 3D printed part?

Re: Rear brake cable

There used to be several vendors for these parts on eBay. Are they not there anymore?
One of the reasons I never bothered stocking cables was that they were pretty easy to buy from others.

Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

Nice information, but pet peeve of 15 min explanation of a 30 second topic. So, the Honda Vision / Met-In headlight fits basically every bike supported by this forum. You can get one, shipped from the UK, for ~$30. Link below is active: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325458826209 I'm still going to draft ...

Re: Pulsar question

Ah, the mag pickup. Glad to hear you got it running. I didn't even know that part was adjustable.

Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

I'm thinking something like this, where it attaches to the top cover and is accessible from the front (vs using the metal framework) and uses an off-the-shelf automotive LED fog light. You'd adjust the light angle by adjusting the angle of the LED element. It would use way less power than stock (10-...

Re: Honda SA50 Headlight Replacement?

Is there still no good aftermarket replacement headlamp for these bikes? I'm surprised no one's developed one, given the thing replaces as a unit. IIRC while the metal ring is a different size for for the 84-86 Spree, 87 Spree/Elite, and 88-94 Elite, the actual glass part is identical between the mo...

Re: Pulsar question

I'd pull the manual (posted here) and look up "No Spark" troubleshooting.
There is no "gap" in the Spree ignition system. It runs off the CDI.
That said, did you try unscrewing the spark plug cap, trimming off the end, then re-installing it? I've had issues with that before.

There was a ramp plate kit for that bike. Biggest improvement available for the price, on the one SE50 I restored.

Re: Custom Wheels

Should I set autolocking on this board?
I've never bothered, but necroposting at this point in the board's life is probably pointless.
LMK thoughts.

Re: 1987 Spree problems

Have you checked the bystarter and associated fuel circuit? Aside from that, you're changing too many things at once to narrow it down. I'd suggest putting it back to stock, get it running right, then add the parts back one at a time. I'm personally not sold on upjetting for anything aside from inta...
