Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I just needed to pay my dad for picking the spree up for me, your welcome. Glad it went to a good home, I hate seeing the rare parts getting destroyed a weird purposee.

What gets me, is I DID examine it with one of those cheap endoscopes off of eBay and it didn't look too bad at all. But then, the resolution on those cheapy endoscopes is only like 640x480. I'm not gonna say they are junk, but I think it could of had a better resolution for examining the cylinder wall. If the scoring on the steel walls would have showed up, I would have known sooner. But no biggy.. it is what it is and has been changed.

Here's one more peek at some of the things I am doing with the Spree.

This is the hand guard. I was originally going to go with some yellow guards and paint them to color match with some amber lights. But then last week, I came up with a better idea to stay with my Iowa colors of Yellow & Black theme. So I went to eBay and bought some black hand guards, then Hobby Lobby for some stain glass yellow paint. I used it to tint the white LED's in the hand guards to yellow. They are still drying, but this is how they look so far.

Modified SB50 Reeds

I've got a spare SB50 reed block somewhere. Might have to dig it out and try this modification out. Looks like a pretty sweet job!

1man is the man

Ive seen a lot of shoddy port work in my day but this is top notch. It takes a steady hand, patience and skill....looks like he has all three!

INDEED!!!

But anyway, here is the completed hand guard hack job I did. Gonna look pretty sweet when I install them.

The new grips

Side decals that will go just above the Spree logos

After the dyno runs and tuning are wrapped up, all the body panels are going back on and I'll have it ready to show in the scooter showcase forum. I'm hoping within a week or so.

Actual look with paint

Looking good, man. Might I suggest painting the wheels? Makes a huge difference.

I did white on one and black on the other. Both Gloss. Changes the whole look. Some guys do a wild neon or a contrast color for accent. Those look good too. Its all personal preference.

Nevermind...just saw the yellow wheel shot...looks sick!!
