My first moped

Hey everyone.

I'd say i found the spree, but the spree, in fact, found me. After about a month of combing craigslist dilligently on work time, everyday... i found a nice two wheel hog that fit my desires. the same hog would transport me to this work, and the spree is whats for me.

After an enjoyable weekend made out of the "moped pickup" i've fallen in love. the hour from Milwaukee, WI to Watertown, WI was actually a 2 day event. With the 'ped safely at home, im looking to perfect the craft.

Here are some pics:

yes, so what kind of paint do you normally use? how can i match the color? is there a manual or step by step instructions for re-repainting anywhere?

Holy *, it's got a glove box, and that is a really good shot that I've been looking at for while. I have the box, I just can't figure out how it is supposed to be mounted. Now I know!

Thanks!

Sweet! Glad i could help. I was actually unaware that was a rarity. The guy i bought it from proudly told me his "gatorade fit right in here".

On my Spree, for the leg shield and floor panel, I just wet sanded the pieces since they are molded and not painted. When I got to an even color all over I just painted it with clear coat.

plans right now are to get all white plastic, and then have a red racing stripe down the middle, white reflectors, white seat, chromed out exhaust, new logos (same logo, new sticker). Ill post updates.
