So, I purchased a new petcock for my Sprite but the moment I tried to slide my hose into place effing nipple broke. What is this crappy material made out of? *!!!! BTW it was bought from ebay. Non OEM so I supposed they are inferior to Honda aluminum petcocks.

Seller contacted and they will gladly send me a replacement. Anyways, they weren't sure which one to send so they sent me two. An Elite and a Spree so, let me know if you all need an Elite petcock.

Here she is all complete. Stretched her legs out and top 51mph with 6g roller weights at 3/4's throttle, plenty of room for improvements. Next month I will port and polish and possibly enlarge the boost port. Well it was a fun build. :)

Got my Spree dirt cheap and in very good condition from CL. Elite was also dirt cheap from CL but, it was badly taken cared of cosmetically. I have a friend from Hawaii willing to sell me his stock Dio AF18E motor or a built 125cc AF16E. :)

Installed new front shocks. Thanks wheelman for this great idea. Scooter sits perfectly leveled thanks to the extra height. Damping has improved but too bad rebound is not adjustable. Oh well, has improved its character even more.

looks great man, i thought about doing something like that for my clutch bell but I live on a gravel road and dust and dirt would get in there. I have an extra cover half that I have been working on, about have all the paint steelwooled off and buffed to a shine. may just dremel some holes in the face of it and cut out a kewl design on the part you can see from behind :D
