Makeshift Petcock Cover for Honda Spree

Post by cpiunno »

What is everybody using for a replacement petcock cover? (assuming the original one has been lost, which it has). I have multiple Sprees, all were purchased with missing petcock covers. I just want to get some ideas of what other people are using so I can brainstorm ideas for myself.

Most people that don't have them usually put nothing in its place...

I recall someone here modified a horn cover & provided a pic - it looked ok.:thumbwink: I tried to search, but have not yet found the link.

i remember seeing a pic on here where someone just used a square of foam rubber(like from a mousepad) maybe not the best idea, but it covered the huge hole and was the same colour as the bike.
i'm still working on a way to produce replica's of the ones i've got.

On my SB I had to remove the inner fender to give my rear tire room.
