How much duct tape is on your spree? I'm holding one of my rear turn signals on with it, the metal broke off when it was knocked over. So the entire left turn signal is held on by duct tape.
Anyone else use this? Also i am using bailing wire to hold my milk crate onto my rear carrier. Yes, duct tape AND bailing wire.

That's hard core. I actually don't have any duct tape or bailing wire on either of my Sprees right now, but there has been before. I try not to use it because when it gets hot, it falls off.

for once in my life my bike does not have any duck tape.
It does however have about 200 zipties on it.

Holds my seat together.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Nothing major. Just basically seals the area were fan cover and engine shroud meet. still no proper comp so just use your imagination
jog style doesn't overlap like the well designed dio shrouds, so this just fixes that.
