Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just thought I would say hello. I have been lurking on the sight for a week or two now, lots of great info here! I'm 26 and live in Michigan. I owned a spree for a few months but have recently sold it to my father to get an elite s! I cannot remember the year of the elite off the top of my head, but i know it is a SA50P with the AF16E. It has been de-restricted and is now running great after a very frustrating time finding it was way too lean (lean enough that it would bog after 1/4 throttle on the stand! We are soon going to be fixing/replacing the body panels. I haven't yet decided upon a color for it yet but am leaning to orange or possibly metallic silver.

One question that I do have is are longer trips ok for a de-restricted elite, lets say in the 20-30 mile range?

Thanks, Preston

Welcome to the forum!

I painted my 92 sa50 with Krylon hammered silver (fusion for plastics)paint.

Yes we fixed the lean condition, but I believe we may be a bit too rich! I havent got enough time on it to tell. I'll keep the trips short for a while just to make sure I'm jetted properly.

My dad has used Krylon Fuzion (made for plastic) swith great success, so I will stick to this. If you take your time, prep and remove body pannels, it can turn out very nice.

Thanks, Preston
