What to do with my handlebars...

Post by MrChimpo »

I have an 86 Spree with the fender removed, trimmed rear fairings, black on black paint, and the top speedo removed along with the top & bottom plastic speedo covers.

I like the industrial steam-punk skelly look, I am trying to find a clean set of bars to run on top of the tree with my stock spree... I really don't want to have a bunch of loose wires and unused brackets.

Anyone have any ideas on a clean set of bars? Im unsure which options are out there.

Yeah I dont think it needs a speedo either I would rather tuck away the wires for brake sensors / engine on and delete the rest of the wiring down to the ignition so that I could maybe run a BMX / DirtBike style bars? What are the options for these types of setup?

86 Spree Industrial / Skelly Build... (pre-build questions)

Post by mousewheels »

Moved:
1) Thread is Scooter Builds on what handlebars to use,
2) Questions from the Spree Industrial build.

Builds is moderated from a first step for questions, else heavy traffic on parts advice/rebuilds/performance/tech help appears as a 'build'. Hope to see your build and pics!
Please check posting guidelines in Scooter Builds.
