here's a few modifications i made to my new ruck over the past several weeks. any questions or comments will be welcome. 
the last 3 photos were pre-mod taken over in the pisgah national forest here in horse shoe n.c. note in the photo of the headlight switch the tape next to it. DON'T PUT ANY SWITCH THERE! there's a big plug full of wires to contend with gonna find a smaller switch and put some other gadget on the bike at some point. don't know what yet. any suggestions? i do want one of chinito's windscreens as soon as i get the money or maybe he'll do a trade. i make arrowheads and knives out of glass and agate flakes. i'm also gonna put some kc headlight guards on when i can afford it too. i really love my ruck as you can tell. the fork stiffening tweak looks good to me also. will try that some day. the national forest road can be a tad rough sometimes if you don't see all the potholes. try these mods, guys. i get compliments all the time. the ooga horn is a gas. 120bds of git tha hell outa my way! 5/8 by 7 in. aluminum bolts with washers inside and out of the reinforcing plate will work if you can't find a 1in. bolt. cut off the heads with a hacksaw. you want about 5ins. of length past the footboard. i left them on at first but one time the street sloped up when i banked to turn and it scraped across the pavement. not a good feeling. where can i get those super knobby tires for the ruck? at my local honda dealer perhaps? those things kick "edit profanity"! although maybe not on a wet road. tell me what ya'll think about my mods and any more cool ones i could make.
;D
