Look what my wife did to her scooter!! L 0 0 K!!

Post by z50r-ghost »

:hi:

So... my wife had a few plans to make her 2001 Elite SR look a little "cleaner" after seeing some other pics we saw on the 'net.
We ordered the parts, and she put them on. All i helped with was removing the rear tire from the wheel and then mounting it back after powdercoating was done. Everything else she did by herself! -I am SO proud! :mrgreen:

New mods include:

Powdercoating the rear rim white w' "Crushed Diamond" glitter clear coat (can only be seen in sunlight)
New Double Star chrome rear clutch cover p'coated "Wrinkle Black"
Clutch bell polished
JDM Clear taillight painted w' Red Vans Japanese Taillight spray
JDM Grab bar
"Spike" bolts
Removing louvers from fan shroud

Let me know what you think... I love the way the tail-section of her Elite looks now; MUCH cleaner. No more luggage rack and bulky taillight.

Later, jon & angie

Thanks, mr. mousewheels! Yeah, the solid red taillight was all Ang's idea. it worked out freaking awesome - i like it too! How's your progress coming dude?

odinxxix, man, there isn't a "site" for parts... that would be waay to easy. -i searched for sites carrying Honda scooter performance parts for a while, and some "sites" (like VT) have parts, there arent many pics to look at. :?

i guess you just have to kinda know people who have stuff, and most are in Hawaii.

Sucks to say it, but there arent many performance parts for a Spree. Tazland (i think that's his name) is sourcing parts / materials and is mfg'ing his own for sale. -his stuff looks good, too.

im thinking it's my turn to say it: "Dude, swap in a DIO." :wink: Many guys here have done it here and can guide you on what needs to be done.

later, jon

I know it sounds like a long shot odinxxix, but the newer honda ruckus looks like it has a taillight that it very similar to the Spree. If you have a buddy that has one, see if he lets you try it out. There are all kind of options if that is the case

Greetings:

Jus noticed the clutch cover, and how it reproduces the wheels' spoke design. Cohesive style, dude. Where do you come up with this stuff?

Still anxiously awaiting more pics of Ms. Blank... :smile: :twisted: :oops:
