Another Ruckus emerges.....

[CarNueba]

Well i figured it was about time to post this bad boy up. I bought this from CRIMES a few weeks back, and have been riding the ruck out of it. It's a 2008 and when I picked it up from CRIMES it had around 700 miles on it. It now has over 900 on the clock. So this will be the build thread of this little bad boy.

Enjoy.

So, my intake came in today as well and i have a set of handle bars and a new stem to put on as well. Plans are to attack the engine next and make it a little quicker and then an exhaust, new tail light, turn signals and a lower seat. Oh and btw I installed BMX foot pegs as well so I wouldn't have to use the floorboard.....that will be coming off soon as well. ;)

Thanks for looking. Will update as new parts come in and are put on. :wiggle:

[DICKARM]

i thought brett todd bought it? or is that who this is? so did that thing just need the carb cleaned or what?

[spastik]

no, brett todd bought a new one

[CarNueba]

No my name is Matt. I don't know what went on with the sale with Brett. Brett went down to Canyon and bought one from them.

And as for the ruckus, ya it needed the carb cleaned and I put a new spark plug and fuel filter in it. Runs like a champ now.

[Jdmitr]

Cant wait to see the new parts go on! ;)

[JDMike]

Get some mods already! :hsugh:

[MattCHEW]

[CarNueba]

WTF did you post that for Koodie Queen? It's funny but idfgi.

[Jserman]

and another stretched RUCK is born.............

[CarNueba]

Yes, it's true. Late Friday night Jserman and I brought new life to my ruckus. I will post up some pics tonight. We put the frame extension and handle bars on (thanks to JDMITR as well....ilu brian and you the man for getting stripped screws out ;) ) Also yesterday I took off the stock air box and replaced it with a K&N filter along with two breather filters and removed the rear fender. The ruck is coming together. Now I need to remount my speedo, chop off the rear brake light assymbly and get some go fast parts.

[CarNueba]

UPDATE:

So today on one of my breaks at work I decieded to order some parts for the ruck. I am going to put up some pics tonight of how she sits right now, I know I was going to do that like a month ago but I need to get some pics up before the new parts come in. So tonight look for some updated pics.....with a relocated speedo as well ;)

Here is a quick one of how she sat earlier this evening. The new bars, the PWDJDM frame extension, air filters, and removed plastic can be seen.

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj140/MBH8533/100_0893.jpg





The following are a few pictures of how she sits right now. I installed the Yosh exhaust hoping to rejet it tomorrow and then later this week have some help installing the CDI ( that's where you come in Brian ;) )

Well that's it for tonight. Hopefully I'll have everything on by the end of the weekend. Thanks for looking.

[makeitFit]

That exhaust is f-ing sexy. You need to get rid of that huge taillight, but I'm sure you have that in the works. Good stuff.

[RunninWild]

the mirror and front fender need to go too.

Are you in the Air force? always see that car or a very similar one in front of the gowen base

[spastik]

radtastic!

[bosostyle]

no joke its going to take a while to get that thing dialed in with all those mods.... finnaly someone that should be able to keep up with steve

shit, on the top end steve and i are equal. i'm all stock too.

[JDMike]

shit, on the top end steve and i are equal. i'm all stock too.

You are all OEM but the exhaust you got from Steve has a bigger header than the rest of us.....

Matt...the Yosh sounds and looks awesome. :up: :up: :up:

[bosostyle]

does it really?

[JDMike]

does it really?

Half way down on the page http://totalruckus.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34024 but let's not hijack Matt's thread.

:) cant wait! Damn you for having all that cool shit! Damn you. haha

[CarNueba]

Thanks for the positive feedback fellas. ;)

Makeitfit: ya i have plans for that gaudy taillight, no worries.

Runningwild: No, and hell no I am not in the airforce.....lol Im in the Army. ;) nothing wrong with the airforce though.

AND huge props to Brian (JdmItr)!!! He hooked up the cdi and helped me put in the new variator and belt.....uphill owns me but just ask Mike how much he likes hearing me bomb past him downhill ;)

My ruck used to top out at 41mph, now flat ground on a good straight she will hit in the upper 40's to almost 50mph. Downhill is a whole different story. hahah

[JDMike]

Ya your downhill speed owns everyone......

[CarNueba]

ya but your uphill speed owns everyone!

[CarNueba]

Parts and new tires coming in this week. Getting paint done this week. Should be ready for the road in the coming weeks.

Pics will be included on the rebuild and paint.

Steve once you stop feeling "dizzy" you should hit me up lol

[JDMike]

[MattCHEW]

GUMH.

[CarNueba]

[CarNueba]

with that said,

here we go:

the mess of parts to be painted:

testing the hangability of a coat hanger off the garage door bracket, worked like a champ:

what's going on back there?:

I know it's hard to tell and I tried to get close to show the paint, but it's not black. Once it's done and in the sun it will show it's true color:

Well thanks for looking. Once the ruck is put back together and in the sun this color will pop.

[Jserman]

in for better pics....LOL... the boots are classic... might have to swing by and peek a leek at the new parts

[CarNueba]

they will come soon don't you worry, and I don't wear those black boots any more so they finally had a purpose lol.

you will have to come sneak a peek.

[Jdmitr]

Cant wait to see how the color turns out!

[CarNueba]

new tires, kick stand, password brake light, and license plate re-locator came in last wednesday. Tonight I put the clear on the frame, seat and headlight bracket, sanded down the battery box and put the primer on it. Tomorrow should have the first couple coats of paint on the battery box. After that I will start putting her back together. I can't fucking wait to get this thing on the road again!!!!
