Here she is.. A 2009 Ruck. Just picked her up a few days ago and time to start modding her. After a few years or snoopin aroudn multiple forums I decided to pick up a ruckus and have some fun zipping around downtown seattle. But I am happy I purchased a Ruck. This thing is pretty fun to play with.

Here is how she sits.


I have picked up a few parts just waiting for them to arrive

The steering:


Stretch Kit:


Stay tuned as I will post up more pics when this thing gets put together

Today I lowered the seat. I didn't want to pay the money for say an NYC lower frame so i had a buddy help me DIY the lower seat frame. Turned out pretty well. The welds dont look pretty bt once i grind it all down it will look nice before paint

Marking where to Cut


Time to actually but it up


Cutting and grinding:


Finally a snooth surface to weld it all back together:


Here is how the seat fits on. The welds are not pretty but they will do for now. I have some grinding to do before i send it off to paint. but for now i will just prime it just so it does not rust:


Here is how the bike sits today

That's it for now Stay Tuned

Woot woot. The ho train is coming to town!

HAHA thanks Buddy! Hey any tips or tricks from all the vets here would be much appreciated Im still a NoOb with the Rucks..

Best tip is to read everything on this site atleast twice. anything you can't figure out after that... Ask but be careful asking questions that are already all over this site.

Other than that, find a ride near you and meet some ruckers in your area that can help on installs. Hope that helps without being too general.

Thanks for the Tip! I use the Search button like none other! There are a ton of information just on this site so im sure it will not be to ahrd to find info on installs and what not.

as for the local guys, I have found a bunch in the surrounding seattle area but havent seen a thread on people who are downtown seattle yet. Im sure a little more snoopin' i will uncover the thread.

Just remember to not get all bent out of shape when people flame you for asking stupid questions..... most of them don't have anything better to do!!!

x2 on what xtra medium said..... read, read, and read some more cuz there is ALOT of answers on TR to most common questions.

Ditto to that, there's a wealth of knowledge on this site. Search first and if you can't find it then ask questions. Good start!

thanks Guys! This is great! yeah im on many forums and i have delt with those guys who just flame up for no reason its quite entertaining though.

Feel free to stop on by here and let me know of any good mods that you gusy have done thatm ay help me out i have lots in mind but!! u know what downfall comes with modding.... No Money! I really want to get this thing going faster but its much more than just bolting on random mods...

Finally able to get the iPhone app to track where my Ruckus went!

Took this loop solo but had a blast! I for sure have Ruck Fever!

More updates to the Ride!

Bump for Updates

awesome build we are at about the same point in the modifaction process. I'm over in Bremerton area we should hook up one time and ride.

Hey! Yeah I am actually from that area. Just moved out of there in 2001. Was born out there and lived in Westpark for a while..

Then moved to Suquamish for most of my life. But now in seattle.. I am all up for a meet up. You should ome chat with us on the NorthWest Alliance thread.

Ruck looks good. Diggin' the blacked out look.

yeah thats what im going for until all the frame mods are done.. The i think ima go Lambo Orange and black look. well see what i decide...
