Ok so i got this used ruckus swingarm. i took it apart to see if it was okay because it was leaking oil everywhere. probably just because it was upside down and every which direction.

Read up on the Gearing thread, you can swap out your met gears (if not metII) with Ruckus gears and get a lil more top end speed. You may loose a little low end but you can make up for it in other ways, read up.

i got it all together. the air box didn't fit. i rigged up the stock suspension to work with the extension. i should be getting the custom hard tail made today. it looks pretty nice! the front wheels been painted black since this photo and I've ordered a slide carb since I've been having some trouble with my stock carb anyways.

so I'm just waiting on the following.
Daytona Exhaust
Slide carb
Posh Cdi
Otto springs

hopefully it comes soon because all i want to do is ride it.

I'm actually thinking about not running the left side rear panel and just running this rad ducati strut instead, only temporary.
