Yeah, I've seen some of the pink ones and a few pink Metros. But my wife likes this one, Powder Blue. She's already engraved her name on it. Not really, but she let me know in no uncertain terms that it is HERS. I get the red Elite E and the red Helix. I can live with that.

All AF05E engines as are my 88 E 50 and 89 SA 50 but the intake ports are different... Right?

So then the Polini kit for the SE50 are for European models?

You know, figuring out an Elite can drive a man crazy.

Can't answer :? You might want to make new post asking that question alone before you do get that big bore to make sure!

Yes it fits the european Honda Vision which is the same as the 87 se50 and 88-93 sa50 elite motors. Tell Daywot you have an 87 honda elite se50 (which is the same motor as 88-93 elite sa50). He will tell you that polini for the se50 is the one you want.

You know, figuring out an Elite can drive a man crazy.
I have to agree :lol:

So yeah forget the european models (vision...vision met-in). and pretend you have an 87 honda elite se50 :wink:

By the way, Daywot isn't trying to confuse us. He lists European models too in case someone from the UK is searching Ebay for a bore...then they find the same bore you need (only for the vision instead) and Daywot can make a sale! If you were to go to 50cc.eu and do a search you would search Honda>Vision to get parts for your motor.

On the way back, at Jiffy Lube, I met a fellow who had a friend who runs an independent shop who can bore and get parts for much cheaper than Honda House. I'll be checking him next week. 30 miles different direction.
Well, the attempt to connect with the independent mechanic failed. He sends his machine work out and his machinist can't bore that small. His last attempt was an 80cc and he honed it. I don't like that idea. So I'm back to square one.

So I'm back to looking at the POLINI BIG BORE HONDA ELITE SE50 AERO NB50 VISION NE50 kit on eBay. Daywot offers a"buy now" option and also "make offer" option. So I just made an offer which is being sent to daywot for consideration. We'll see what happens.

Update: Wed, 4/22/09 I accepted his counter proposal for $165.00 So it pays to * when you can.
