Fun stuff. I am also doing a zero dollar project on that elite 80. Trying to spruce it up without spending any dollars. The spree looks good slammed. It would be sweet if it was bagged. So when you park it, you just lower it all the way down to where it sits upright w/o a stand. Maybe have 4 little prongs that touch the ground for support. But that would cost money....

That's great love how low it is and the fact that it kinda looks like it's fresh out of a barn.

Swim has the right idea for the floorboard - CARPET!. See if you can score some 60s Shag green. Preferably with a few roach burns.

I think you should polish the belt cover and completely detail the motor.. Yin and Yang bike.. I think you have inspired me to hammer my extra spree..
