Spree gears. An intake setup so you can mount that new carb. Keep it small, maybe a 17.5 for a guess. A custom pipe would be great to really get the performance out of the setup.

You will have to custom mount the new CT intake to your spree if you go that route. Check out TrafficJamz's thread in this section titled "CT for my Spree"

Greetings:

Quoth Petrock (the Hawkeye):
You will have to custom mount the new CT intake to your spree if you go that route.
That's one good way, but there is another, possibly cheaper and certainly easier:
Go to Scooter-Center.com and search Vision Honda sections for an Arreche-for-Honda Amal clone carb.
These should bolt straight up if you choose a manual-choke version. There may still be a shock clearance issue.
The Arreches are excellent carbs and best of all the Pilot jets are selectable to overcome the fixed low-speed issue with the stock Honda carb.

I suggest a 17.5. Mine supported a 65cc Aero to over 55MPH.

Greetings:

With all due respect to Devenex, the pics show a spigot-mount fitting on the Arreche. Mine had a two-bolt flange that fit the Honda NB50 manifold and insulator perfectly. The Aero frame had no shock clearance issues with the included electric Bystarter. It might just be a generic pic, but that particular carb will require mounting to a spigot "Donut" or some sort of adaptor.

The Del'Orto has what looks like a Honda-type flange mount, but the "dog ears" are pointing up, not down. That probably won't fit either.

I went poking around the VERRY SLOW Scooter-Center site briefly, and I didn't find the carb I bought in early 2009. It might still be there, but there are 5 pages of carbs under Honda Vision. Mine had accurate pics of the Honda-spec flange mount, and it did fit perfectly.

You're right! :oops:
