Hey i want mine painted in the same yellow as the body ;D That might be tricky to get a powder coat that would match. And paint needs to be done right to be durable, and even then it won't be as tough as PC. KP |

So, you must like DC shoes? I'm a Vans man, myself.
Oh, and what's the sticker on the floorboard?
Not my style, but a good lookin' Ruck, nonetheless.

It's themed to match a race car.  KP |

Maybe someone should create the Viagara Ruckus.

I have to ask.... did the addition of the wider front tire make any difference to the feel at the handlebars? Does it want to stand up straight and not lean over into turns as readily?

A wider (130/90) front tire is noticably different for a ride or two and then you get used to it. At first it feels slightly taller and a bit more sluggish but it's really minor....at the speeds we travel it's not a big deal. A bigger issue IMO is adding the 2lbs of rotational weight.
Anyways, congrats on your new part(s) IHAR....it seems like you're really cleaning up after Arunto which isn't a bad thing at all...parts coming off his bike are still better than most parts others are putting on.

Running a smaller tire in the front than in the rear creates the same effect as stager on a race car. Imagine a cone rolling with the pointed end being the front tire, this is what you get. With this combo it turns WAY better, but it's twitchy. I'm going to go to the next size bigger than the 90/90 when I get the motivation. I went with the 130/130 combo that some do a while back and it turned for crap, it was stable at speeds, but not turning. KP |

The 'rolling a cone' image works very well...nicely explained.

Got the new finished forks and the "Super Rotor" installed. I thought this thing stopped before!! OMG!!  The main difference is that it is a floating disc, so there is instant application when you grab the lever. I don't see anyone upgrading to this (except PomeRuck) since it is $145! KP |
