The Arkansas Ruckusback

[blueshound17]

Well, here it is. This is my 2005 Honda Ruckus. I've slowly been modifying it. I painted the rad. cover, exhaust shield, and kickstart. Added scuba netting, and drink holders, and the front bag. Relocated the front blinkers, and the horn. I also made a custom plate and cut off the excess part of the bracket.

I don't know what #'s are still available. Just give me the winning one. Thanks.

Looks good! #Icon012# I dig the 2x4 multifunctional seat back.

What kind of paint did you use to paint the covers and kick stand and how well is it holding up? It looks really good, gives it a nice accent. Whose Met is that?

I gave you 06 cause you're number 6 in the members list...

Thanks! I like the backrest too. It can fold down under the seat if I don't want to use it. The paint is just some cheapo silver general all-purpose spray paint. It's holding up well. I dropped it in a ditch last week and scratched the exhaust shield, but other than that it seems to do just fine. I thought I would get creative on the radiator cover. I like the aftermarket covers, but I'm too cheap to spend 100+ bucks on it. That is my wife's 2005 "Kanji" Metropolitan. I haven't done anything to hers except valve stem covers. She doesn't like the ruck...too big and bad I guess. Doesn't matter cause she still smokes me. #6 works just fine w/ me. Hope I win! I still want to add chanito's windshield, 6g rollers, new blinkers and rear LED, new mirrors, and new handlebars. I would eventually like the BSS backrest I think, just have to save up for it. $143 = OUCH!

Here's the new bars I am debating on. If I do the LP composites bars, I have to get the lowered seat kit to make it cool. Not sure which to choose yet. I also want to flush mount my speedo and turn signal indicator light.

Here's what's going to be my new license plate:

I like the second set myself.

Like I said, I'm very torn between which bars to get. I really like the lowered look, but then again I like how Pomeroy's bars turned out. So confused...

Yeah, were a husband/wife scootin team but I scoot a hell of a lot more. I made the mistake of buying a new truck AFTER the scoots. So, of course the wife drives the damn cage every day. NOT ME!
