This is based on a chinese copy of the Big Ruckus. It is not completely finshed. We still have to make the removable passenger seat (as shown on the drawing below), two strong removable "pick-up rods" to eventually enlarge the plate and realize a cool graphic design for the plate... The driver position is forwarded by nearly 10". The way you seat is now closer to that of a motorcycle, less "forward feet". The plate lenght is about 35". The driver's seat heights is adjustable as on bike. Loaded or empty the road holding is better than the regular BR. The look is a question of taste but my opinion is that I prefere the modified one (closer to the proportions of a pick-up truck wich I love). We could sell an upgrade kit for the Honda BR if enough owner were interested...

;D Wow! nice work, i would prefer a further back seating, but the way you have done it, give you more cargo capacity

Thanks for your comments...
I was wondering, what is the point of seating further back ?

I guess some of us are weird and want to stretch our legs and daydream we are on a cruiser instead of a scooter

Ok, I get it ! 2 precisions : - The BR foot rest are very well design, you have 3 position on it. When you put your heel just behind the front end stop, you still are quite forward feet even on our pick-up. - We could have forwarded the foot rest further (as the wheel is small and the foot rests spread wide apart). We did this way because the driver has a better control of his scooter (important when you haul heavy stuff) and also because the transformation is easier (only the foot rest's front stand is modified/shortened).
