Better yet, white/grey/black urban camo with a .5" - 1" lift and XR50 knobbies. Add a couple of 20W foglamps to a custom front rack.
I can't fathom lowering the Spree any farther; I'm already skidding the floorboards on corners (and I only weigh 165#.) Maybe I just need to corner less aggressively.
the boards? or the kickstand. ive never scraped the boards, yet...
i will have yo throw the tire on to how it will sit and see how far before it scrubs.

i would do the floorboard since the paint wears. the center of the front fairing (horn cover) the center of the fairing inside (the hump that the frame tube goes through). maby some on the tail. it would be stained and have chrome dress up screws.

Ok Ok. I was just having too much fun in the summer sun and neglected to post anything for awhile. I always drop by to see what is happening here though!
I like the look of your spree! I'm still trying to decide what to do with mine. My husband rides it 19 miles to work and back now on a bike path. I live less than 2 miles from where I work so I just drive the Tahoe (Big Red) cuz it doesn't make much of a difference.
My friend did modify it by putting his daughter's streamers on the handles but Hubby ripped those right off when he got on. LOL
I'm thinking orange. And now maybe silver flames cuz that look bada$$ on yours! Lookin good!

1st of all. your husband sounds like a smart man. streamers kinda takes away from the badass look.lol.

LOL. I guess you're right. But they looked so cute. I guess I have to decide between cute and bada$$ then. Although I like to think that I'm both, so maybe my moped could be too!
Templates would be great! Thanks!
