DK's Ruckus/Zoomer build

[DK Wolf]

I personally would have gone with

Gay-vee

I kinda sorta got some pretty bad sun burn (but it was worth it).

Well, you gotta have the proper attire when riding a Ruckus....

Not a huge sticker fan, but I added a few. And this will be the extent of my stickerness.

Finally got the 63 ship pendants back. Got a battle scooter sticker when I ordered my underseat net and key protector (certified fake carbon fiber!).



I ordered my CDI over a week ago, and it should be here by now.. but any day now it'll be here and I should be able to hit 65kmph if not more. Goal so far is just an easily attainable 70kmph.





Big thanks to Kung Fu Jesus for helping me out with the pendant design!


Also, I absolutely love the cargo net. I opted for the net as opposed to a hard casing mostly because it was cheaper. But after further use. It seems much more practical. It doesn't obstruct the look, can be used with lowered seats, it can hold just about anything a hardened case can. And I think it adds slightly to the ruggedness.

Looks good.

This thread makes me want a Ruckus even more!
Keep up the awesome work.

OH HEY! LOOK! I FOUND A RUCK-BRO!




So I said my goal was over 70.. and I hit it.





Put in my Kitaco CDI and a Polini variator with 6 gram weights.. next up is some rejetting and probably a new intake. Should be hitting 80 at that point.

Progress so far looks good...........

I did the equivalent of going to eleven

Well, 10.5

for the floor board?

That might go a little too far if I did that to the floor. I'm still thinking if I should get the footrest with pegs or not. If I do.. the current floor board gets tossed out and it has an exposed gas tank. I could try to find a decent diamond plate cover and have that painted.. I'm not sure yet.

Things have been messy at the Squadron recently and I'm bound to fly out to New Zealand within the next couple days. So progress might be a little slow. Then on top of that, I should be having my ruckus picked up next month to ship to Virginia. So it'll be there by the time I get there.

There's a special moment of pride when you get off your scooter heading into the gym and a Navy Commander comes up to you and asks if I named my scooter.. I tell him I named it the "Shitty Hawk" and he looks.. and says


"You have a Naval Carrier themed scooter? That's awesome. Where can I get one?"



I told him I'd trade him information on how to snag a Zoomer in Japan if he'd sign me an Academic letter of recommendation for school.. BOOM

Dk gonna die!
