The 1986 honda spree gets some upgrades! New plastics ,tires ,tubes, and a beefed up shock Links to parts used Shock- www.treatland.... Tires and tubes - www.treatland....
Great turf/gravel tires. Will wear out quick on a street bike but will give you so much more confidence even on wet grass. I have the same / similar tires on NQ sprees, 2 SH50 Razz bikes and an Elite.
Don't care for the tire choice. I think the Kenda 10x2.75" K329 would have been a better choice for the capabilities of a Spree, but otherwise, great tutorial on changing the tire and other, well I suppose upgrades, Lookin good.
@@afn-bd2ro for off road grip yes, for the integrity of the Spree's frame, no. The bike was not built for off road terrain. I would never in good conscious, ever recommend anybody ever use one for doing so. While it sounds like a cool idea to have a little pit bike using a Spree, you're really really looking to get hurt unless you gusset the hell out of the frame to take it. Just sayin..
Yeah those are good choice I’m gonna get those for my other spree . I went with knobbies because I liked the look the spree is obviously not a off road bike by any means it’s can barely pull it self out of the dirt haha
@@lunamoto6495 Best way to off road on a Spree would be to use an 84' or 85' model year or the gears from those years (Iowa Spree gears are fine too). The 84-85' model years have 12T gears while the 86-87' model years have 13T. You kind of want that lower gearing for off road terrain. A BBK really helps too, though for a BBK, you wanna port the intake and use a bigger carb (but not too big), like a 17mm or 18mm. But again, I don't recommend the bike for offroad use, it's too hard on the frame.
Nope I continued to mount them with the tire irons I had just moved the camera out of the way so I could wrestle them on it wasn’t the easiest tire I’ve done but not the hardest easier if I had some longer tire irons it would have been better
@@lunamoto6495 Install the first tire bead, then, install the tube before the second bead. You should have better luck. Small diameter tires/wheels are the most difficult.
Great video. Music is bad after a while
One of my Honda sprees is totaled and this is kinda what I plan on doing with it

Great Video!
Awsome video
Would love an update video
I have a paint job so I'm going to be repainting my spree to the factory color as well a tour pack I found laying around
Nice ! I wanna paint the rear panels but I’m gonna strip off all the paint first and see the what they look like under it all
The shock fit's well I got one on the way thanks, you can get a new vinyl skin for the seat on Ebay under 30$ and they look great
@@anthonyquinones1465 awesome ! You’ll love it and I just have been lazy and keep forgetting to order a seat cover haha

@constitutional citizens it's your death. I'm not one to prevent anybody from going after a Darwin award.
No issues with the Treatland shock? I saw a review on their site saying you need a longer bolt and washers on the bottom mount.
No issues bolted right up and made a world of difference
I wanted to see you mount the tire so badly. You showed a fail then cut to it being on?! Did you go to a shop?
