I'm happy to have lowered my Ruck and finally given it a name. Say hello to Black Bettie   Low seat conversion kit, 255mm POP oil shock and a rear fender trim  Rambalam ;D  The sun is burning my eyes...  and the camera's flash |

So yea, The hippy sticker was only one of many I bought from a great site called http:/www.stickergiant.com I've been wanting that sticker for ages and finally got it. I use www.stickergirl.com as well for custom stickers. The 420 bubbler look is something I strive for ever since seeing a kick as$ poster of Bob Marley with the reddest eyes I've seen to date. I don't ride high or drunk. That's for the local vespa scooter club and their pub crawls. The leader has an English accent to boot...go figure. Mod wannabes. I've mised 420 for months if not weeks or ever... |

I can't lower mine for fear of scraping stuff before going fast enough and lose (heaven forbid) corner speed...BUT...I've thought about lowering my seat for aerodynamics. Did lowering your seat seem to move you closer to your bars or the end of your floorboard. I'd rather not be closer, but looks like it would almost have to....... |

pardon my dragging I don't to have sweet tooth The sun was really in me eyes and it's rays were shining into them. It's just too bad, but my eyebrows pick up the slack and beautifies the funnest ride of my life. Riders on the storm... I find that sitting at a lower center of gravity allowsfor the tight high-speed corners I do. My bmx footpegs have given me a guide. If I peg-scrape then it's to tight and then I have to rearange the washers and tighten her back up. My lshorter shock allows me to ride with little to no suspennsion. It's no biggie to tighten your spring up and swerve around manhole covers and cracks in the pavement, etc My 200 lbs gets thrusted forward with help from my mods and the nice cold air here. for a 2005 Ruck I've had a great time putting the 9700 kms on her.in the 112 weeks that I've gained custody and tamed the rucko. sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me socket to me ;D |

you welcome
I'm farther away from my handlebars and it feels like a cruser -ruck
I might get some lettering on the back of my helmet that would read "rambalam" cause Bettie's so sweet. I may have a crush on an image and so on said the man with pants tied by belt and toilet paper there ain't no diaper wearing or guitar playing going off on a sidetracked as announced to the pronouncing of the words with accuracy and tolerance we can all be friends

I drag the centerstand sometime on real tight wide-open-throttle corners now, even at stock height. I'll probably do the lowered seat frame MOD (possibly make my own), but I think lowering the whole bike would be a big mistake the way I ride, and where I ride most of the time. Thanks for the handlebar distance info.................. ;D |

I know how many layers to apply per range of degrees below zero. If honda cars can operate in winter, than I don't seee why I shouldn't either. I watch for the ice and improvise when needed. Hey Kami, I wish there were roads around here like on your dragon video battlescooter.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=pictures&action=display&thread=1192167569Hi Ho Black Bettie, away! We wanna ride man... without getting hassled by the man we gotta be free and strong, Ruckus riders are a unique breed eh? here's to us |

I got mine from Battlescooter store ssl.perfora.net/www.battlescooterstore.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154384fb04894a5/shopdata/index.shopscriptThe kit si stiff and you just gotta move your seat from the stocker and rigg it up good n tight. with a shorter shock I have what I feel more ground-control. I still ride aggressively when I ride (but safe)  |
