That bar is a very very good idea sprees flex with a stock motor, so I can imagine what it would be like with the big power plant stuffed in it ;-)

Yup, I can really feel the difference how much the frame stiffens up.

how did you get the ch80 forks to fit the narrow spree down tube?

The elite forks fit through the spree frame neck without issue, but the lower spree collar bearing was too narrow. I removed the collar from the frame and used my rotary dremel tool to shave some metal from the inner diameter. It was pretty easy, only took a couple mins to do.

Hit the bare metal with a little primer for now. I'm starting the wiring soon...

Got enough wiring done to run it up and down the neighborhood once in the rain, feeling some nice 4-stroke torque. 8)

I still need to hook up the lights and wire the cluster, the rear brake cable is seized even after soaking in oil the passed few days.
