Hey everyone, I've been reading in this forum for a while now and decided to become a member and show my ruckus. I've learned with this forum that the ruckus is more for looks then speed. So I'm making mine look as nice as possible without spending to much. My mods have been : -Relocate the horn -Put a sweet wind deflector in the front -Paint the wheels And soon I will change my rad cover    |

Cool rims and Billabong sticker ;D Thanks for posting pics.
What kind of paint did you use for the rims? How's it holding up?

I always figured if I wasn't so lazy, I'd paint my rims red, kinda like you've done. I photoshopped 'em to see what they look like, and now I've seen an actual picture of some. And it looks good.
But, I'm lazy, so it'll probably never happen.
Looks good.

I used 4 cots of Sico Corrostop Ultra, you have to sand the wheels with sandpaper for metal and clean them with lacquer thiner if you want the paint to stick. Put Vaseline all around the hub on the tire so u don't paint the rubber(put a good thickness all around).Also fill where the breaks go in with newspaper. The paint scratches off fairly easy so be careful when u put the wheels back on. |

I'm just joking. The blue and yellow color scheme would never go with Ryoko's black and red heart.

Well, I have my old Michigan vanity plate, which reads "IMABRUR". Maybe I shouldn't get a Chanito windshield and use it?

Maybe you should send it to Chanito, and he'll incorporate it in the windsheild. |
