Wow! congrats the red accent on the rad is a great idea, one that deserve to be copied (i might do it on my yellow ruckus, hope you do not mind)i even like the footpegs (which i normally do not), thanks for sharing the pics

no prob chan, this scooter is a combination of others idea's as well as mine , so there really is no copying.
sides the rad cover will change if i have my way so you'll be the one with the red cover.

Wow, good work. I like it. I've been planning to put the racing brace/gas tank cover on mine but I wasn't sure if I should remove the lower floorboard or not. I didn't really like it but w/o it the Ruckus had a really skinny 'neck' and it was silver. You totally solved both issues because the black paint job looks awesome in those pics and the wiring sleeves widen out the look. Great Job! I also really like your rear turnsignals. Do you have a part # or company name for those? Also where did you buy that red wiring sleeve stuff? Any hardware store? I think I have the same pegs as you. Oh, was it hard to paint that part? Did you mask it and then spray paint it or did you actually remove the part somehow?

dan they are lockheart parts i got the wire covering at canadian tire, lol there is red, black, yellow(chanito) i want the frame too but it's expensive , i tried to make my own but cut the pipes all wrong. dan if you want ima try an get a custom exhaust done here by an exhaust company should be 200 canadian around.we'll see how it goes. I live in winnipeg so it's not far shipping wise. i like the look opposed to the plastic floorboard.
peace

Chanito is actually gonna be making me a high flow exhaust system so I have that problem taken care of. That's good to know that Canadian tire caries that wire covering stuff. Do they have the red in a couple different thicknesses? Is that were you got your pegs too cuz that's were I got mine and they look identical.
Did you have to cut away any of the front cover to get all that wiring cover through there? Also what did you paint the main frame with?

i kept the plastic cover on the bottom to protect the gas tank, other than that I trimmed around and cut off the remaining plastic on the top , so I can never use the plastic covering again (lol) but that's okay cause I hate the plastic look. the red wiring comes in only one thickness but the black comes in many. I got the pegs cheap at some discount store. the main fram i spray bombed with truck rollbar paint.
also dan with the custom ehaust chan is builing , I shuold tell the exhaust guys to make it a high flow one? originally i was going just for looks because of recent posts saying there can be no increase in performance with an aftermarket exhaust. is that true?

The exhaust i am building is a multichambered just like the factory but with and extra chamber and some mods in the inside so it should flow more than the stock but still keep up the exhaust gas speed, in theory it should outperform the stock, but then again i should have not opened my mouth because i do not know if it will outperform the stock and sound nicer, in paper it should but we have to wait and see, the one i am making for DD will have bigger tubing in the muffler and some minute diferences inside to allow more volumen of gases to go with his HO cam and ported engine, that why is a high flow one
