1988 Honda Elite E Tire and Shock Selection

[spree2800]

Hello,

I picked up an Elite E this summer for $400, it had 850 original miles on it. I rode it putting on about 100 miles on it and the back tire went flat on me. I wanted to get bigger tires, so I ordered some 3.0x10 tires, however now I'm afraid they will be too big unless I change the shock.

I guess I don't want to change the scooter too much from stock because of the great original shape it is in.

Any suggestions?

I believe the biggest tire size you can go with on these motors is 2.75-10. As Honda Elite E's and Honda Spree's motors are nearly the same, and the biggest on the spree you can go is 2.75-10. I would do just the rear tire tho. And yes keep it stock! That's one great looking machine you got there!
