So, this is a little off topic, but hey its a honda scooter and its an elite

....
Im a scooter hoarder for the most part. One scooter Ive always looked at, and thought was strange is the CH80. Well after looking at one today, I thought one might look cool with a dio fork, dio mags, and the headset replaced with standard bars.
Has anyone seen or done anything like this? Or know if a dio or ruckus stem assembly can fit in a CH80's headtube?

Did some looking in the EBC catalog and the ch80's from shoes take ebc 303 pads, which I belive are the same ones you'd use for the dio drum wheels on ebay. So, its may be possible to use those wheels without swapping forks. hmmm....

The NH80 was sold '83 - '85. Maybe you are thinking of the Aero 125 which was only sold in '84 (in the USA). For an NH80, 1985 is probably the year to get because it has the extra storage in the side panel, a better exhaust and some tweaks to eliminate the poor response at full throttle. The only downside to the '85 NH80's was the updated styling which is nice but has too much in common with the Elite 80. The '85 NH80 has virtually the same backend as the CH80. They also share some other stuff (rims, forks etc).
The NH80 is fast....at least the acceleration. You can wheelie on one of these easy. You can check out some NH80 off-roading around the 3:13 mark of this vid (and see me nearly crash at 2:30).
