Honda Elite SB50p question

SpyderMike · Post by **SpyderMike** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:40 am

Just from looking around i have realized that my model of elite is the least upgradeable, correct?

if this is true, is there any modifications a can do to get my top speed up?
right now its 30-32mph and id like to get it up to 35-40

and has anyone ever tried switching back ends from a more upgradeable model of the elite w/ success?

thanks in advance for any help

ps
it has about 4.7k miles on it

It has no transmission so your best of selling it and buying a SA50.

from looking at it, it looks as if a SA50 motor/trans (whole rear end assembly) would bolt into my SB50p frame
if you or anyone else knows if this will work let me know
i think it will be easier to find a SA50 being parted out due to wreck than to find one for sale as a whole (thanks gas prices ;P)

They dont make one, you cant get parts for the SB motor (performance wise) and it has a spree frontend (ducks in comparison to a elite/aero front end).

you could buy an SYM-honda clone engine which is only sold in Hawaii but with the price of fuel shiping it would be cost some bucks, i am riding a loner with a 66cc taiwan bore kit and bone stock and it kicks * at 55mph.

The engine mounts are different. It can be done, but you need to be able to weld a new mount on the frame. Can't remember if other mods are required.

any guess at what shipping to michigan would be? I spent 550 on my bike, plus some on basic parts/repairs, is it cost effective?
