Wild !  I like the foam on the bar behind the seat. You sit back there don't you ? So do I, it feels like you're riding a chopper that way. Oh yeah the tach looks awesome  It's water-proof right ? |

Yes the tach is waterproof (supposelly), but i noticed that is open on the bottom where the wires exits the tach, i have riden the scooter on some very heavy rain and so far so good, however on some morning i noticed the glass slightly foggy on the inside but it goes away after about 5 minutes.
Once in a while i sit all the way back and that foam comes in handly, i wire the tach with the low beam, i wish i did not becouse if i put high beams, urgh no tach, one day i will get the energy to rewire it to the ign relay. and fabricate a proper bracket so it will sit beside the speedo as it should be.
Thanks again to fox and all those computer savy people
for their help on posting my pictures

Chanito - nice ride! ;D ;D Where did you get that wind-screen? ..and that is the first time I have seen the foam installed....gives me ideas! So I take it from the sand and grass types that you live in the south somewhere?? I am jealous as you probably have alot more riding weather  than I have here  Glad you posted the pictures! Thanks Fox for the assist ;D Steve |

The walkway was my wife handiwork, we live in south Miami and are originally from south America, so i have a nature walkway in my backyard.
The wind screen i did it myself, i used to be a fabricator back in the early 90' of a IMSA GTU car, so since races beat up a car, it is important to keep everything simple, i saw the one on battlescooter and i want it to buy it but i heard that you have to remove the turn signals and the bracket where they go, i decided to make one myself, went to home depot bought a small piece of lexan, bent it, fabricate some brackets with tubing and presto a windshield, i was planning to sell them on ebay but got lazy.

If you were to sell them, how much would you ask and can you make em out of smoked colored lexan?

I thought a fair price would be about 40 dollars plus shipping, making it out of smoke color lexan should be about 5 more, i do not see the advantage of doin it that way becouse you do not see thru the windshield, it is bellow your line of sight.
I got a small piece of lexan, becouse i was experimenting to find out how hard it is to bend, but when i installed i liked the size, i think it goes well with the rest of the scooter, and the air flow around this small windshield only leaves my head and arms in the wind,
and it makes a lot of difference, my gas millage went up and the speed is a lot more consistent, probably becouse
the wind resistance changes with the direction of the wind
so it use to be diferent from day to day, now i get 41 every day.

The reason I ask for smoked lexan is strictly for looks. My Ruckus is black and it would match the color somewhat. I live in Vancouver, Canada. How much is shipping to here?

its not your fault, its my crappy php script. It puts the uploaded files in a dir called public, so that that way, any ordinary user cannot delete the uplaoding script files. foxed.ca/img/index.php is the location of the script and it uplaoded them to a folder foxed.ca/img/public, where any of your pictures will be loacated.
