All you had to do was hook one wire up and you where good. Did you have any luck on the wiring? I will be in town to pick up an order in a couple of weeks and will help you out again. I will make sure the spree's wiring is perfect if you have'nt fixed it by then. Devil dude keep your eyes open for a clean spree for me.

It's more than that, they make there be no slop in the steering, which can kill you.

OK you got me I was kidding . There were a few missing from the top maybe 4 , I think there are supposed to be 26 and I hope they are 5/32 steel bearings because thats what I measured on my handy dandy harbor freight digital measuring stick . I went to a bearing place this morn. $12 bucks for a package of 150 ,I will try going to a real hardwear store in the next few days and try to buy just 10 . Also got some paint for the rims and a hunk of clear & black hose for the air cleaner I got from Taz He said the PVC pipe I used as a coller might be ristricting the air so I am going to use a Harbor Frieght flashlight (dont ask )
Update after reading the manual there are supposed to be 26 ball bearings on the top and another 26 ball bearings on the bottom .
Lets see yep I have 52 of those bad boys .

So I asked how much he said Gimme $175.00 I thought I could use the plastic for my bike and keep the black ones for another project ,I gave him a smoke and we started talking , I said what if I give you cash and a digital camera in trade , Then he said $ 125.00 no camera and he had a bunch of parts and another bike . I said $125.00 for this one follow me to my place drop off the bike then I will look at your parts .... OK once at my place I asked him if he wanted a beer he said sure but he wanted to take off the hat box on the back of his bike ... No problemo ... well after I dropped him at his place ( he lives in a shed behind a house ) WOW JACKPOT he had a * of parts and the other bike he said everything for $165.00 so 2 bikes a bunch of parts ...
