Re: af05e performace pipes

i've found a few links...but not nearly as many as for the dio.
i think most of them are old now because people are doing engine swaps.
what i'd do is hold off til a forum member decides to do a swap and get his old pipe off him.

Re: Rattling Aero80

did you sand down that rear pulley a bit? it had some pitting. i dont know if that would cause a rattle though, but if the belt isnt riding evenly it makes one think it would cause some vibration.

Re: I got a 1985 Honda Aero 50 What the * do I do now???

couple of things. 1 they make an adapter to convert your existing tube stems to 90 degree stems or you can just go buy new tubes. i personally use a small bike pump w/ a built in gauge, the kind you step on to pump, that i have in my rear glovebox. it fits on...just barely. http://www.motorcyclepart...

Re: 1985 spre needs a name

at least no one can say you aren't handy w/ a dremel ;)
so where are you going to mount the front signals? or do you not need them in your state?

Re: 1985 spre needs a name

*! i think they're original(meaning unique, not OEM). how many of us can honestly say that about our mods. not many. look at the ruckus riders, they buy all these mod parts to make their scooter custom...but honestly, they're buying the exact same mod parts the rest of the people do...just depends h...

Re: Spree 101: First mods to do on a Spree?

for most people "getting started" really means getting one running.
i do agree though that things could be cross referenced in the getting started section though.
another great link on the wiki is the "bible for scooters" article.

Re: Identify this scooter?

its a melody. to the best of my knowledge, it lacks a cvt just like the spree. its parts are unique to itself as far as i know. European version of the spree...again, to the best of my knowledge.
