Now we need a handling report on those beastly tires. Need to see them covered in mud Tell us how they handle regular pavement, braking, rain. Hundreds of Ruckus owners want to know

Nice looks !

Where did ya get the Cat eye and rear fender, cause if the fender is home made it look awsome!

[greenchopper]

Look for cateyes on E-bay, Custom Chrome, or Fatbook.com.

thanks,
also thanks for the help posting the pics
now to answer some questions.

-the top speed went down like 2km per hour
-the acceleration went down also, to stock, even though i have the cdi kit.
-I take it slow on turns but the tires are wicked offroad.
-the rear fender was 12 bucks and it was long enough to make two(problem is all the dirt and stuff splashes on the parts, i'll have to make a mud guard sometime soon.)
-also the air filter hose rubs against the bigger rear tire so you'll have to make something to fix that, i just moved it to the other side and made a plastic bracket.

all in all I'm satisfied in the look I think thetires make it look badass, plus I get more looks on the road.

Darn. With the performance hit I don't think I'll be getting any. They look damn good though!

[Dandy Dan]

Well they definately look awesome! It's a real mean look you got goin with those tires and with the headlight grills etc. Looks like you're ready to take on the Baja 1000. I won't be getting any cuz of the performance differences but if I used my Ruckus off road then I'd be all over those. Even if I only did short urban trips I'd consider those but I put about 400km/wk (250 miles) on during the summer so I really need max speed to make this bareable.

[tygerfifteen]

it's not all that bad.
I'm ASSUMING all those speed stats are down. i just recently aquired the use of gps.
I mean i still go 58-60 km an hour full throttle, thing is I have a cdi, I just noticed a change in acceleration from the stick i only did a few test runs with the stock kenda tires and cdi before changing them.
I can 62-3km downhill.
i hope by getting a new variator and rollers,jetting the carb(mabe some cam and porting work) i can go faster.

[Ruckass]

Yeah they are a damn fine looking tire but I'm gonna hold on getting them for the speed reason as well. I need every bit of help I can get in the speed department. Still waiting on the slicks.

Where did you find the headlight grills and were they a perfect fit?

Nope! They're the opposite of Boppers. Boppers are semi-slick sportbike-ish tires. These tires are way cool though. For a look a Boppers go here:

RUCKASS: When you said "Still waiting for the slicks" does that mean you ordered some Boppers? or some other slicks? I'm guessing you got Boppers cuz you seemed as alarmed as me when you read Abe's post that they suck at handling.
