    Maybe a simpler idea for the saddlebags; elastic/bungee cording nets, like the used below the fantail or observation areas. Keeps with the carrier theme.

    This is a super cool. I recently started riding my fiance's Metropolitan around town. It's a lot of fun and makes me really want to get a Ruckus, because they look so much more manly.

    I ordered an adjustable net for now. But Im looking for an idea. I could also weld together some sheet metal to fill the space under the seat, put rivets on the edges and paint it.

    The saddlebags are an awesome idea. I might have to throw a couple ideas around.

    I was also toying with a little leather bag on the front above the lights, like harleys do.

    do it. You could also get a metro and do a metruck build. (Google metruck totalruckus) they look sweet.

    Rode the Ruckus for about 4 hours yesterday. It was an awesome ride. Had a backpack filled with water and trail mix, went up to Katsuren castle then snaked my way around to Ike Island. I kinda sorta got some pretty bad sun burn (but it was worth it).

    The exhaust is quite loud. I might consider getting another slightly quieter one.


    Can't wait for my variator to come in and my CDI so I no longer have a low Rev limit

    Stickers should be made soon.

    Been kicking around the idea of making a plate to hang behind the seat that says "Shitty Hawk" like how naval ships have it written on their sterns.

    A tramp stamp for a scooter? Might as well be a bullseye
