THE MET GET Thanks, I wasn't too satisfied with how it cosmetically turned out and had not much to work with so I made an exhaust, used metropolitan carb, port the head, used ruckus cam, adjuste valve shims, retard timing, cdi, transmission, met final gear, ruckus swing arm and wheel. I know theyre some things I may have forgotten.jcrabb13 wrote:understandable, it varies by person, location, and even the motor itself.Kolten wrote:I can't tell you how to tune.
i was just impressed!

iirc correctly you can swap either just the final gear from met-> ruck or all 3. the math of the difference is on TR somewhere.eliteguy50 wrote:Any take off issues with the met gears and ruck wheel?

Inspired by the eliteR with usdm style. I just swapped on a 09' metropolitan front end so I can keep the oem controls, Sure cleaned up the front some and I'll post pictures soon.TimmyC wrote:d***. That black/red combo looks pretty sweet. Reminds me of a Canadian Elite R - only badder

New... Maybe nothing off the shelf new but got a 2009 Metropolitan front end on the 87' Elite, triple tree, wheel, brake-drum hub, fork, feels right, looks more clean too. Put on a S&M Bikes bmx stem with shield logo design, a small chromoly handle bar, relocated turn signals (I just don't got it in me to cut those panels), and a single head light. DD50 engine and rear wheel helps to Look oem. Funny I always use the iPod to do all the typing before I post pictures lol. Soon with images

Re: 1987 Honda Elite S w/ pictures 96%
Hey man I'm sorry that box is taking so long. Like I pm'd you earlier,this is the longest boxes I sent to hawaii as taken this long. the last 3 yrs I have been sending sideskirts and undercowls to hawaii took no more than 12 business days at most. I don't know why all of a sudden usps takes this long to send stuff. I called them to see where its at and they said its on its way there.until the post office there checks it in,they don't know what the status is. I just hope its soon because this is rediculous. Its no wonder they are loosing business. Again sorry for the delay.

Re: 1987 Honda Elite S w/ pictures 96%
I just want everyone to know what a donkey this guy kolten is. He sold his sym with a se50 motor in it to a guy from kona. The guy only drove it once and it broke down on him. He brought it to me and the thing was a mess. The jug gaskets were all screwed up and the fuel lines were all routed wrong causing the bike to heat sieze after a few minutes of riding. Just want to say that your a ripper kolten who lied to the guy and said the bike ran "cherry"
