nerfbat Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) how she sits now:below is the convo that went on in the random pics thread over the last week or so I love seeing all the weird bikes in the parking lot at uni, I often see Z50s, cafe racers, postie bikes with engine swaps etc. I saw this at uni the other day:Honda Ruckus with some kind of engine swap and a huge driveline upgrade, the wheel on the back is 8" wide!Edit: I should add that the seat only came up to my knee... it's very low. "so guys, after seeing the pics upped by Rian, i spent the last few days looking into these, full on.and mark my words, i will have oneand SOON!!!:-)thanks for the headsup mateEdited by nerfbat, 26 March 2013 - 06:30 PM.""Posted 26 March 2013 - 06:30 PMi traced that one Rian piced earlier, and joined his forum purely to msg him.asked him if he or his mates have one for saleno shops stock them.i tried honda headquarters australia, even the city shops...lol" Edited May 29, 2013 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) below is what i posted on the Ruckus forums, where i found Justin, who pointed me in the right direction: posted 29-03-13 09:49 PM "Writing this from my phone in a motel at Scone, after what Bill & Ted would call a 'Most Excellent Adventure'. Picked her up lunchtime today from Jason at Zoku, after a spur of the moment decision to drive from Toowoomba, QLD to Rockdale, Sydney Left at approx 10 pm last night, packing a carton of 500 mL energy drinks, and driving non stop, apart from bio breaks and swapping driving duties with the wife, arriving at his new shop at approx 10am and having a power kip tip the agreed time to meet of midday Went thru his amazing collection, of which at least 6 or 7 were Ruckus/Zoomer in various stages of undress Fell in love with his white 2010 injected model, with the lowered seat rack already fitted Threw the agreed amount to him, kicked tyres, and some manly tractor talk, then left, arriving at Scone at approx 6 pm tonight Now 2 things need to be said at this point 1. Jason is one of the nicest, helpful guys I have ever met. Really went above and beyond the 'call of duty' 2. If you're after one, get onto him ASAP, as these may be his last, as the cost of buying them, as a small operator, servicing and compliancing these to aust stds, then having to justify the 3-4k cost to potential buyers, myself included, is a bit much Will up a pic when I can, as my phone went flat during the day, no pics, and is on charger now, in the motel Will link the for sale pic here to help" http://www.zokumotor...0-honda-zoomer/ literally just got home now will shower, shave, etc, then up some pics Edited March 31, 2013 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerfbat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 plans are: pretty much that..! frame extension drag handlebars 8" fatty rear Lazy Eye Headlight mod remove the plastic around the fuel tank and fit some footpegs like this: fit a Yoshi like below will need custom headers to suit the fatty chuck the existing tail light and indicators in the bin, replace them with an integrated R1 tal light/indicator combo, like this: and something like these, for the front/side then front and rear adjustable shocks, and i should be happy not worrying about a GY6 150cc engine upgrade yet, as this 50cc honda GET engine is injected, and only 2,000 ks on her. more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenzel Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 What are parts like though, I'm sure getting the wider rear to fit etc will be quite costly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
