Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

so cut and extend a ruck one is the way to go? (are all elite down tubes too long?)
also, any best practices for a spree disk break? (i haven't done any measuring on that project for a while)

one for a spree and one for a sa50. spree is my build and sa50 for "spazz". yea not many people want to put several hundred into a front end for a sub 500 scoot, i get it, it really doesn't make sense unless your a little nutz like us

Isn't that the truth. Thing is you won't ever get it out of it when you move onto the next project. I have so many bikes due to that fact, dedicated enough to spend it in the beginning and stubborn enough to never sell it for less than I think it's worth.

But let anyone come to denver or st louis , I can guarantee they will have something fun to ride. Nothing is stock.

Its almost depressing.. If it spent 1500 on each project bike/car every month id still only scratch the surface..

never even considered doin it for the cash. just having fun riding the s*** outta them and learning.

btw has anyone used a BWS-ZUMA 96-01 1st gen front end?
I read somewhere that that works for a sa50.

My pet peeve is non spree fenders on the disc swaps.. that is half of the bikes charm to me.. I really could care less about the suspension.. I just want to be able to stop .. have a cool disc and a spree fender.

yea that spree front fender makes the look. that's the goal

If you use a ruckus tree you can use any after market ruckus fender.

No ruck parts on the spree.

have you tested a 1st gen zuma/bws?
and thanks for the info!

I don't know this for sure but I was told that zuma front ends are pretty much bolt on for the ruckus and I think I've seen it on TR but never in person. I don't know what year sets though. So if it's true it would be the same deal as the ruck swaps. I'm sure someone can confirm.

How long does the stem 'want' to be? From the top of the tree, how long should the stem be?
I have all the parts and next weekend I have access to all the tools and buddies to give me a hand.
This is the last nugget of knowledge I need.

Thanks HondaSpree.net!

14.75 inches
from bottom of race
to top of threads
and make shure the slots in the top threads are in the right position
they align your handlebars to the fork legs

Perfect! 14.75 inches. You are the BEST!
I'll be at it next weekend

THANKS
