this was actually a rebuild. rudy came by and said he loved his ruckus but there was just something about it that really did not attach him to it. maybe because it was bought, not built. so he decided he would like it to be more for him (or his kid). started off with a new colorway to match his Gunship Grey Harley Davidson. a new set of 2 piece wheels but we kept the dark tan seat covers and grips. the rats nest of the old harness was yanked out for a new plug and play unit. for the power plant we ended up getting a new 150cc crankcase and building the top end with a 170cc jug and a 61mm big valve head. also threw out an old mount and replaced with a billet mount for that extra strength and rigidity. he originally had rear disc brakes but it was really a Frankenstein kit. so we upgraded to a 180mm rotor and a 4 pot caliper. instead of controlling the rear braking with the left lever. we opted to use a foot brake master cylinder instead, just like a real motorcycle would. upgraded the front brakes too to a 190mm rotor and also a 4 pot caliper. titanium hardware and steel braided lines to complete the stopping power. the lighting was the next thing to be touched and we used a Squadron XL kit for the other headlight, with its own individual switch. Lusso tail light and rear blinkers. added a digital speedometer with a custom mount to fit the handlebars he already had and also added a fuel pulset unit to control the oem fuel pump. rudy already had a pretty cool ruckus with lots of carbon goodies, just had to finish it off with a carbon frame cover. now that rudy has his ruckus all done up to his liking, rest assured he’ll drop jaws in the coming rides and shows!
