Third One is a Charm - 1987 Spree Rebuild (new pics)
Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:53 am
Less than a year ago I never had any thoughts of a scooter, moped...whatever. Since then I've rebuilt two Spree's, revived a Tomos Targa LX, a Yamaha Champ and now I'm onto my third Spree. I've had this one sitting in my shop for a while now awaiting attention. I went full throttle into the paint this past Tuesday and Thursday. I was inspired at a recent Corvette show where I saw a blue Grand Sport Vette. Beautiful car!
Plans Include:
BBK - on order
Gear upgrade - on order
Custom pipe by Noiseguy
I'm thinking Bridgestone Hoops - 2.75x10 for even more top end
Not sure about the seat yet
One question I could use some feedback on is the carb. Will the stocker re-jetted do alright or am I chasing a ghost? I'd rather not waste time trying to tune something that will never meet my needs.
Anyway, the project thus far:
I love the brushed aluminum look so I'm going with it on the outer part of the wheels.
So stay tuned as I continue to revive this mess. Taking a few new steps on this one with the BBK and all. Should be fun!
