Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Yes, Brad is still making these.

He's correct. 87' model year has petcock cover built into the side panels. These would only work for 84-86.

The truth is.. don't worry about the pump. Does it still have teeth? Then yup its probably turning, relax. If anything, the $2.00 O ring in it is worn because of rubber's natural aging, duh.. And that might cause leaks and a we bit of performance that can't cheaply be measured, failing pumps are a m...

Updated OP with a scanned image of the 86' side decal, in other news, I will be taking on the task of having reproduction 86 Special Edition decals made, as well as the correct color match CMYK/RGB values for Lollipop Green.
