Latest picture of it







ive been lurking around here for a while, i recently picked up a 2011 ruckus, a close friend of mine named it jack and it stuck, so here i present a timeline of jack since i bought it

Stock 0 miles the day i got it



Lowered the seat frame and got a stem and handle bars from password jdm



Picked up a AKgarage minifatty and a ATR extension





wasnt really happy with how the ATR extension looked with the minifatty so i put it back to stock, and lowered it



a buddy of mine made some extension mounts and hooked it up





and here's the extension installed



i couldnt figure out where to mount the coolant expansion tank after the stretch, so i got creative and it works great



the wiring up in the front didnt look to attractive so i relocated the speedo and cleaned up some wiring



picked up an intake from spare parts that were laying at work and a radiator hose



intalled a tail light (knightrider style)



and here is how jack sits of as today, ive done now mods to the engine, besides putting the intake on and a exhaust from a cr50, runs great, everyone tells me to swap but im happy with it being slow, variator coming soon to up the mph a bit



This is how it sits as of 2-16-12, got some goodies coming in

Nice work ☺

Thanks guys

dont swap

Looks nice. I love those extensions. Nice, clean, and simple.

No issues with the minifatty and stock exhaust? Did you have to offset the engine at all? It's a 10x5 mini fatty right?

Never, id buy a chinese ruck before i swap



i did have an issue, i ran a couple of months with having washers to space out the exhaust, i noticed the stock bolts were starting to stretch and never got to replace them on time, the exhaust broke so i put the cr50 one on, as far as offsetting the engine, you don't need to offset the engine as long as youre running a 3+2 10x5

Ok cool. Where exactly did the exhaust break? Right at the engine?

Sweet coolant tank.

looks sweet man
i also never thought i would swap to gy6, but here we are 4 years later and now im waiting on my last few parts to arrive and im swapping out.

sick ass stretch

Thanks for the comments guys



it broke where the header is welded to the muffler, i guess putting the washers to space it out, put some stress on it, and it was my fault for not tightening the bolts knowing the were loose, but as long as they stay tight you shouldnt have a problem, i wish i would of just put loctite on them, but oh well

i got this pic as it was slowing down, i noticed how fast i was going and looked at the speedo and was down at the middle of the thermometer sign, by the time i grabbed my phone and took the pic it was down to this

What variator are you running, weights, cdi, and was this travelling down hill? That is pretty impressive!

Nice,i bought a 2011 too,wish i hadnt,only because i wish i left it stock,too much money to chop up a brand new one,first thing i did was a akgarage fatty,lowered bars,all plastic off,yosh and akheader,i still have mixed feelings about a swap,i want to ,i dont want to,still cant decide,i keep reading post about ,dont do it,no good,but my friend did it and loves it,idk
