Restoring a 85 spree that caught on fire
So I am new to this whole thing. I bought a spree that caught on fire, at a garage sale for 10 bucks! THe fire only did damage to the rear seat, panels, and wiring harness. So.. THe engine is out and getting fixed , but i need a new wiring harness, and black or red rear panels, front mirrors, an ignition, and thats all I can think of right now... So do you think you guys can help me out mostly with the wiring harness? do they make brand new ones?

Ok let me see about the $$$ I have honda stipped down and I want to get it looking nice by the end of summer. Do you guys know where I can get a brand new wiring harness? If not do you guys have a real nice one? I think what happened is the bike caught on fire somehow and melted the wires,rear plastics, seat and rear fender... So I need all of the rear stuff. I have been looking on E-bay and it seems they have lots of stuff.
Thanks for your guys help.

I would suggest buying a harness used off Ebay from someone reputable, ie someone that sells a lot of these types of parts. Fixing a burned harness would be a PIA. Fortunately, to get it running, you need very little in terms of wiring. Lights are another story. Hope you have a multimeter and a 12v voltage indicator light. You'll need them.

I just bought a used harness and My friend Is going to be putting It in for me ( he works on motorcycles as his job ) So in Sep hopefully the motor will get a complete overhaul... It has spark but it wont start. So i gave up.
I was thinking... Where Could I get a different carb for the motor? Like a high performance carb? And as for the Exhuast... What would happen If I cut the little end off and Drilled it out to be bigger? would it add performance? or just make it louder? 8O

for an after market carb u are out of luck for a spree. u can get an after market carb for something else and adapt it for the spree. if u mod that exhaust you can only lose power. no one has found a mod that is proven to work.
