Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Ok here you go, I'll start it with the dio spree build.. here's how I got it. bought this coz I have an extra dio motor from an elite with too much back fees and it's just not worth it to register so I started looking for a registered spree and got this one for a very good deal



Af16 mock up


designed my rear shock mount using CAD.(cardboard aided design) courtesy of USPS


getting ready for engine mount fitting and welding the shock mount.



shock mount done


decided to remove the auto choke/enricher of the stock carb. Dont ask me why I removed it.. I just wanted to..so I Jb weld this


plastidipped my plastics.. maybe later on I will paint it with regular paint.. but for now I chose this gunmetal grey




My friend does his own powdercoat at his back yard so all I did was order my powder. base coat white and then fluorescent red as the main.




started to put things together. ended up looking for a rear met wheel because we had a hard time putting the inner tube and not damaging the powdercoat. so we redid the color to a met wheel.


and here's the first pic when it got done.


but after a ride. I noticed my exhaust was touching the side plastics and the carb wont let the plastic align on the other side so I decided to cut the side plastics to solve these problems.


Installed this also.. it was reading twice the actual speed verified with my gps..



did 140 plus miles on our local ride here no problem. had to take a gallon of gas though. 2013 EL Touro..


bike is pretty fast for stock motor, exhaust, and carb. only thing I change is my variator and 9:1 gear. Ive hit 53mph on flat on a good day. normally cruise 47-50mph. It's fun riding this bike.

like your build the one thing people over look whit a spree is the 0.6 gallon gas tank ...
good work on the cut the back panels ..like the look....

Thats pretty neat, good job! Whats the red car in the pic? Looks reminds me of a Datsun, alfa, and a BMW crossed. The tail lights are whats really messing me up, looks like a 70s body with 80s tail lights.

Thanks guys! The car in the background is a 73 Toyota Corolla.

Tonight I'll start posting pics of my naked elite project.

Thats funny my first thought was celica but couldnt place the rear big window. Nice!

we have lots here very popular with boyracers and rotor conversions.Is it a KE20 OR KE25 ? I have a AE86 show car just sitting in a storage unit on axle stands so the tyres dont get flat spots lol .Its been in there for 2 years i go start it up every 3 months or so

hi nujee, sweet spree SWEETER COROLLA

Theres not many of the old yotas in good shape. I always loved riding in my buddies 72 celica, not fast but looked a lot like the mustangs from the states.

TE27 is the chasis code here in the US. Same as your KE25 there. I had the motor rebuilt in 2010 and probably put only 400 miles ever since and the only reason is I don't drive it much coz I don't trust people around me on the road. Got rear ended 4 times on my other cars.. just not worth it to me. As long as I know I have one, I don't need to drive it to appreciate it. It's kinda rare here so I'm trying preserve the condition and hopefully pass it to my son who is 6 yrs old right now.

Same mentality as me As long as i know i have one im fine and its mint .I also plan on passing it down to my boy who is 4 now

whats your email ill send you a couple of pics

here's a better pic of my corolla

Nice rims.

They look like the panasports I had on my triumph tr6. Panasports look great on anything from the 70s I swear.

Thanks for all the likes guys! Now back on the builds.. this my current one.. A friend gave me his frame that has been sitting for years at his mom's back yard.. it fell off dmv system so it's easy to register that way and no back fees.. all it needs is a vin verification by the dmv.


I have another dio motor laying around from a bike that never been registered and had so much back fees.. I just keep on buying these bikes just because of the motor and maybe later on register them when they fall off the system.. so here it is just a mock up of whats gonna happen.


disassembled everything, tabs that are not needed will be shaved. wires will be tucked in the frame.

parts started coming in



made this pattern for a wood floor board


had someone at work cut this wood for me. still undecided if I will use it



my led tail light. needed to make a bracket for it.




cut the main harness for the wire tuck


cleaned the motor for painting.






time for the big bore.






changed the clutch springs without removing the nut. just straight up ghetto lazy style using needle nose pliers and screwdriver.


got some parts powdercoated
