Re: New to Spree.. and scooters

Re: New to Spree.. and scooters
Well I put a new air filter in today and a new blinker switch.. 2 strikes.. Neither worked.. the air filter didn't improve any performance .. the blinkers didn't work at all since I bought the spree.. bought a new/used flasher relay from another '86 off of Ebay , installed it and the blinkers lights...

Re: Should I buy a 1996 Elite for $600?
there's a 1985 Elite 80 here in Eugene on Craigslist for $300 in decent shape.. depending on your location in Washington state(ie. vancouver) it could be worth the drive down. >> https://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/5252454732.html

glovebox on an '86
I'm considering buying a glovebox off of Ebay.. I've read they were added in '87 , anyone know if it would be easy to mod it to fit an '86? I want to try this first before I start thinking about a way to attach a drink holder for my Super Big Gulp

Re: New to Spree.. and scooters
thanks, will order the belt and air filter and a spark plug .. that'll be a good start and I'll see where it gets me. My goal will be to get it in perfect working running condition by next spring so I can enjoy all spring and summer.

New to Spree.. and scooters
1st off no experience with the Spree or scooters/cycles in general.. Impulse bought a 1986 Honda Spree the other day.. 1,400 mile and pretty good condition overall and $400, seems like an okay buy from my very limited craigslist knowledge. Anyway a few questions after buzzing around town a bit the l...
