aura farming

i love it when a client knows what they want. it makes it easy to blueprint the build and have a very clear visual of it. the owner contacted me about a build at the time but life took a turn, literally. he was blessed with a new baby and just had to hold off on it. but he never forgot and still wanted a custom ruckus of his own. we finally searched for a used scooter on marketplace and found the perfect one. the original owner was moving permanently to south east asia and needed to get rid of his ride. what makes a perfect blank slate? clean title with no back fees! after i acquired it, day one was already tear down day. the plan was simple, to keep it simple. we went with a glossy od green sub and box with a matte main. the color accents would be browns and gold. inserted the ever so simple 150cc engine and simple spoke wheels to get the chassis rolling. battle ship grey made its way for the mount and gold was added to the brake caliper, velocity stack and clutch drum. a nice and tunable 28mm carburetor, oem fuel pump with electric controller made those start ups easy! led lighting all the way around while you sit on an upholstered brown shaved seat and gel grips! a few more bits like foot pegs and gas tank cover just to complete the scoot and she was ready. i often forget how little you can do to these and make them look super clean. as i test rode it staring a the custom fitted dash on the handle bars reminded me how my own ruckus used to be. im glad i still make them like this and there are people out there still appreciate the classic custom ruckus look!
