Re: Honda Red - Spray Paint color

Honda bikes are almost a pure red... fire engine red. I had good results with Krylon Fusion "red" matching Spree and Elite SE50s... over 10 years ago. Current color is called Pepper Red and is probably same/close. Fusion stuck well to panels; make sure to prep them first per directions. I ...

Re: Dash pushpin screws

... Just to be clear, the style above is not typically "tightened", or otherwise screwed in. You press the outer in place, then shove the head down with your thumb. You can unscrew them to remove them, but the heads rachet down into place on install. Issues are too big (outer doesn't fit),...

Re: Dash pushpin screws

Above are sold at most corner autoparts stores. Best to take a trip in with measurements and a measuring device of your choice, then see what fits.

Re: Cheap exhaust dilemma, 2001 SA50

I'd need to see photos. The problem with expansion chamber exhaust is they are tuned to a narrow RPM band. Off the line suffers until you get in band. Street pipes (like stock) have a broader tuning. You can make the race pipe work on a street bike and might be faster overall, but you'll need to tun...

Anyone have Honda Express manual PDFs?

Used to be linked to Moped Rider's board, appears that's long dead. Anyone that has the PDFs or can point me to them, LMK and I'll get them locally hosted.

Re: WIKISPREEDIA

What is the error? I wonder if one of the basic variables in LocalSettings.php is set incorrectly. $wgServer would be one of the candidates. BTW above was one of several problems that needed fixed. Older version didn't set this variable. Main one was several files were uploaded as 0K and just flat ...

Re: WIKISPREEDIA

All: Wikispreedia is back up and is working. I've done a cursory review of the wiki and appears to be all there and functional; links and photos working. If you were a contributor its asking for password reset, LMK if any issues with that. Big shout out to Mousewheels for help with getting it functi...

Re: WIKISPREEDIA

Site is technically "there" now. But not accessible: http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php
It's got to be a server config issue b/c it's kicking back a 500 error.

Re: WIKISPREEDIA

I'll scibe out time next week to take a look. I need a couple hours to look back at the local instance and compare to what's uploaded. It's actually uploaded now, it just doesn't work, so the error you get when accessing is same as I'm seeing. Expect issue is LocalSettings as well; LMK what else I s...

Re: WIKISPREEDIA

Gah.
I got it updated and uploaded but can't get it to actually fire up. Works fine on my local machine, not once uploaded.
Anyone here know MediaWiki well enough to give me a hand, shoot me a PM or post here.

Re: 85’ Spree Plastics Paint Removal and Repainting

I would sand it down with wet/dry, 220 or 320 until you get to a good layer of paint. I'm not familiar with any strippers that will work well on plastic. I would not use heat either... front shield will warp along with any plastics like it (I use heat guns to reform that part when needed.) Coat with...
