All you had to do was hook one wire up and you where good. Did you have any luck on the wiring? I will be in town to pick up an order in a couple of weeks and will help you out again. I will make sure the spree's wiring is perfect if you have'nt fixed it by then. Devil dude keep your eyes open for a clean spree for me.

- I wish I had known the forks have a bunch of ball bearings that fall out when you remove the forks . I found a few of them when I tripped . I dont think they are that important and really dont do that much so maybe I will just leave them out ?

- Too much work to remove the bottom instrument cluster / lamp holder So I am painting it while its still on the bike .I was going to keep the bike running while I painted just to make it more difficult .

It's more than that, they make there be no slop in the steering, which can kill you.

Re: 1986 = 24 Year Old NQ50 Spree
OK you got me I was kidding . There were a few missing from the top maybe 4 , I think there are supposed to be 26 and I hope they are 5/32 steel bearings because thats what I measured on my handy dandy harbor freight digital measuring stick . I went to a bearing place this morn. $12 bucks for a package of 150 ,I will try going to a real hardwear store in the next few days and try to buy just 10 . Also got some paint for the rims and a hunk of clear & black hose for the air cleaner I got from Taz He said the PVC pipe I used as a coller might be ristricting the air so I am going to use a Harbor Frieght flashlight (dont ask )Trafficjamz wrote:I hope you are not serious about leaving the ball bearing out

Update after reading the manual there are supposed to be 26 ball bearings on the top and another 26 ball bearings on the bottom .
Lets see yep I have 52 of those bad boys .
