Re: Gyro - general thread

In middle school I had a friend who had a Gyro and I liked it better than my Spree. Since then I've wanted one, but it wasn't until 2001 that I started my search. The internet wasn't what it is today, so aside from batteries and brake shoes meant to fit a Gyro I had no luck. I did come across a broc...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Thank you 66Six! The pic below is how I received it, except the mirrors were busted and the engine cover had completely broken off in transit from Wisconsin. I had serious buyer's remorse on day one. While rough around the edges, mechanically it had no issues. Since then I've managed to rack up over...

Re: Gyro - general thread

I'm a happy rider today. I found a decent red (Krylon Banner Red) for the glovebox and painted it to match as best as I could get it. It looks way better than the condition it arrived in and It holds a bunch of small stuff. Curious Honda decided to omit it from the US market model. Spree front refle...

Re: ****Official Picture Post...The Sequel****

I also got the JDM side stand installed on my 83 Aero 80, also from the site buyee.jp searching under Honda Lead. No drilling or extra work required and it works like a charm!

Re: ****Official Picture Post...The Sequel****

JDM rear turn signals & tail light installed on my 83 Aero 80. The license plate needed new holes, but otherwise perfect fit! I got the light from the site buyee.jp searching under Honda Lead.

Re: Gyro - general thread

Thank you! all is working perfectly and the wiring wasn't too much trouble. Was it worth about $200 - I think so :)

Btw, I saw this one about a month ago originally posted for $5000. Then price dropped to $4500. Pretty sweet, but wow!

Re: Gyro - general thread

I finally got the rear signals installed along with the glovebox. The glovebox originally arrived in a very sad faded white, so for now it's painted black until I can find a good match to the red Gyro. I found these parts on buyee.jp searching for the Japanese market Honda Just or TB09 - fun stuff! ...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Japanese market front turn signals installed on my 84 Gyro - perfect fit! The signals came from an 83 Honda Just (TB09), which I got from the site buyee.jp. I'll post pics of the rear combination light and glovebox once installed.

Re: Gyro - general thread

Hi, I wanted to share a site I used to score some parts for my 84 Gyro. Buyee.jp is a Japanese auction site I had not heard of before a few weeks ago. I've always wanted the integrated turn signals the Japanese market models (Honda Just TB09) had and I'm happy to report I found them! I also found th...

Re: Honda Aero 80 drop in top speed

Hi, thought I would share my experience with a similar issue. I got my 83 Aero 80 about 2 months ago with about 5400 miles on it. I ran really well and reached about 46mph at near full throttle before bogging at wot. I was pleased but wanted to pull the carb to clean it, check the belt, replace the ...
