Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

A friend of mine gave me this elite a few weeks ago that was in a flooded basement for a while and then sat for for about 15 years. This is my first scooter I have owned so I did some research replacing my froze up crankshaft and found that I was better off just doing a motor swap to a af16 I ended up finding one on Craig's list for 100 dollars that happened to have a cheep 90cc kit on it and a Koso variator and low ratio transmission gears and a 28 mm Koso carb it had been taken apart and slapped together very poorly so I disassembled every thing and to my surprise the every thing was salvageable so I cleaned every thing up real good and put it back together I am still in need of a pipe I had to make one from some scraps I had laying around just to play around on it until I get the money to start putting quality parts on it I never could imagine how much fun one of these scooters are I cant stop riding it. Now I have about 150 dollars in this thing and I find my self riding it more than my motorcycle !

Dam I guess my pic is to large to put on here

Greetiings:

They are ridiculously fun, aren't they? Welcome. Sometimes stock (or stock-ish) is just fine. It's always cheaper.

Alright I figure out how to make the photo smaller

Very cool! It's a good start and you will find your way with the help here. I noticed the muffler looks like it isn't bolted to the side of the engine.
There should be 2 bolts on there to hold it. Make sure it has at least one bolt or it could break the pipe.
Welcome to the forum!

It has a mount just hard to see in the picture and it has broke several times I'm really in need of a new pipe

Its coming together

Got a new leg shield seat and front inner fender from Kevinv710

thanks for the parts Kevin can't wait tell I get the money to get the rest of the part I need from you.

i want them back, Wally....so jealous :).

Looks great!!! I love the white and gray 88's-it was my first Elite back in 1992.

Thanks I'm pretty stoked on it! I have a new front panel coming for it waiting for it to clear through customs but is going to be awesome I can't wait.

My new front panel finally came to day !!! Now I just need the find the decals for the sides .
