Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

My 86 elite deluxe all stock just missing right rear turn and carb cover

now my 89lx with my mini stroked dio swap

Dayum, all these beutifull elites make me wanna get one...but im stuck with my Spree,...

The spree is a fine vehicle, if light city traffic is all you do.

This is my daughters Spree, I recently sprayed it flat black. She is 15 and can cruise 37 mph (gps) all day.

I love the way that looks.
Awesome spree man.

I bought a 1987 engine off ebay, and did all the mods listed in my sig. Im 200#'s and I can run 35 on it with nice acceleration. I have not modded the pulley or put on a wider belt, but the motor does not seem rpm limited to me on none of my Sprees. It seem that to go faster I need more power. My slowest Spree runs 33 with me on it.

What painting steps did you take to paint those parts circusracer? And how is the paint holding up?

I once tried to paint several interior peices of my Mustang's interior but it didnt hold up too well.

Thanks!

First I used goo gone on the decals, then I sanded with some 200 grit to smooth out the rough areas. Then I scuffed up everything with some brown scotch brite, next I wiped it clean with some paint thinner. Sprayed a light coat of primer, then hit it the flat black. Now my son wants the other painted flat yellow

Hey again,

Did you use a clear coat too?

Ive never had much luck with rattle can clears...

got to ride my bike today.so I figure I take a pic of it.
