Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

A few questions and ideas on mods.

(1) Changing ALL lights on a 87 Elite for LEDs to save on battery curent. Are there off the shelf items or will I have to use my electronic engineering degree.
(2) The turn sig light is NOT noticable in the daylight so I want to parallel a 12v buzzer with the light. It should be anoying enough for a reminder and should go off and on like the light. Has anyone else done this?
(3) The mirrors are to narrow or my sholders are to wide, either way makes it hard to see behind. Has anyone put a camera on the rear fender and a LCD monitor on the handle bars? Have some hack ideas using a desposable camcorder or camcorder that won't record.
(4)Has anyone tried mounting fans under the vent gills to improve air? Does the 'Ram Air' mods really do any good?
(5) Heard using 'Sea Foam' to decarbon a 2 stroke was bad. Is it?
(6) All the talk of more MPH, is there any data on how uping MPH affects MPG (real important NOW) also how does it impact engine life?

1. they make led balbs that just plug into your old spots.
2. lots of people do that you can get an after market turn signal relay for like 4 bucks at any auto store.
3.i have never seen any one do this.
4.there is alread a fan in there and it will spin way faster then other fans so, nope. And yes the fan modd dose work
5. i wouldn't use it i don't like it, allot of people swear by it.
6. any time you go faster you pay the price in MPG most kited bikes get 40-55 mpg

Oh boy, college educated, reality sucks!
