Spree graphics

Now that I've got it running, I've been fooling with different graphic designs for my 87 Spree. If the yellow vinyl matches, I'm leaning towards this one. It has a bit of that 80s look to it. Maybe I should add "25th Anniversary Edition"!

....Very sweet graphic concept...
I see the addition of yellow grips being coup de grace (finishing "touch")....

Good idea - I did put yellow ones on my Reflex: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22567

I like the way this turned out. I was thinking of doing something up front, but sometimes less is more, so I'm done. The headlight cover was a bit scratched up. I found that an Ace Hardware rattle can red matched fairly well. Look closely and you can see that the inner tube dust caps are a pair of dice. I initially thought that they were tacky and I would replace them, but what the heck - we'll see if anyone notices.

While the covers were off for the graphics I decided to clean the oil filter, although it turned out to be fine. So mechanically pretty much everything has been gone through and it's running well. All set for a road trip to NC next month.

This was a fun project. I'd get another one if I wasn't married or wanted to get a divorce.

Thanks. Hmm, haven't seen the weather report - did h e l l freeze over? She wants nothing to do with two-wheeled vehicles.

What you have done with this graphic [D ick B] is straight-up sharp...
I would like to hear how this was created...can't tell if it is paint, sticker, voo-doo or what...
Your Spree is striking, I say work up a racing stripe for the front...sometime....

Thanks. It's vinyl, cut using a Silhouette SD cutter, kinda like a printer with a blade. The software lets you import images and trace cut lines from them. For the Spree logo, I took a before photo of my scooter, cleaned up the image and fattened the lines a bit using a free drawing program paint.net, then imported to the Silhouette software.

A stripe for the front could look cool - we'll see.

Painting the tranny case red instead of the raw aluminum would look cool, too.
