Why are petcock covers so hard to find?

What's the deal? I have two Sprees I am repairing and this is the only part I cannot find anywhere.

they fall off. there hard to find. people dont notice when they fall off.
face it if some one were to make these they would sell tons. its known that over half of the sprees on the roads now-a-days dont have these.

people want them, there in high demand. and its getting higher. if people have them there going to hang on to it. the more people want it the higher the price gets.

also i like your new sig.

i might be able to save you all soon, i just thought of something. i use vacume molding to make extra bodies for my nitro truck, why cant i use a double mold to create a petcock mold. then i can make a cast and then i can make some petcock covers. its an easy process. just smells bad ( burning plastic )

thats an idea, if you sold them on ebay/here/ other moped forums you would have a hard time keeping up.
im blown away some one hasn't already.

I bet you could not make them fast enough. I'd buy two.

I experience the falling off of the cover, but I figured out that a small wood screw solves it.

I want to go on a ride with all you Spree guys so I can hang in back and pick up all your covers when they fall off, just kidding. You got to make those covers. You could probably fund the baddest-* bike ever with the profit!

Look under the front of the seat.

The part that sticks out from the body is the petcock cover and they are hard to find because they fall off easily and they are not made anymore.

Got it. Its a Spree thing, thats why I didn't make a connection.
