Honda Spree - Rear Suspension/Shock upgrade

[Dr. Naughty Moist]

I have a 1986 Honda Spree and would like to buy an upgraded rear shock for it since mine bounces a lot. I weigh about 160lbs if that helps. Looking to spend less than $100. What fits the Spree? I think stock is 9.5", I've read somewhere that people have fit 10.5" ones too (240mm-260mm i think?). I'm new to the spree world so links to products would help.

You'll want a 245mm shock.

Best deal on one can be found here: http://scooterswapshop.com/collections/ ... 45mm-shock

I have one on my Spree, holds my 300lb+ frame just fine.

Could I get away with the 265mm shock? Would it provide any benefits over the one you linked with it being gas charged and length adjustable??

Yeah, the 265mm should also fit as well. As for advantages/disadvantages, yeah, can't help ya. I'm sure one of the other guys would know.

If you lift the rear you change the angle of the forks also, making it a little "twitchier". Alotta guys like it like that. You'll probably have a slightly better lean angle also.
