[@shaefreeman2768]

Anything extra send my way haha my scooter was stolen last year but just barelt saved up enough an got another ruckus couple days ago. But it stock all the way. Btw ur build looks dope as hell

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Sorry for your loss homie, but, I’m glad you were able to get another one! Thank you also

[@spillllz]

Wide Open Throttle great video man. You've done a lot to your Ruck! Looks great man. You didn't mention the FLP key cover. I like the battery box screws. I'm liking the black and white color scheme too. Lots of parts to still get on, have fun brother.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Me and my Ruck! This was kind of a walk around of the bike...that’s why I didn’t mention the key cover. Good catch though man!

[@andyproctor3588]

Joe I know that's your baby and she is beautiful lot of time and effort and money has went into her no doubt and it shows enjoy the video brother as always and I heard you say you had that carbon fiber front fender man just sweet catch you on the next one👍👍

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Andy Proctor what up brother...yes sir you already know I have a lot of time vested into this thing. Yea I have had a carbon front fender for quite some time now...laziness won’t allow me to put it on! Hope all is well with you and the family...stay safe my man

[@petewilliams9493]

Nice build, but I notice ur from NJ Where did u get ur ride from cause I'm in South Jersey & nobody has these on deck @ all Thinking about getting it ordered from Texas but it's like 5 of us looking 4 them smh

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Hey man don’t forget I got my bike in 2018. I got mine from Jersy shore power sports.

[@petewilliams9493]

@@WideOpenThrottle ok thx I will check them out

[@WideOpenThrottle]

@@petewilliams9493 you got it man…it’s never been easy to find then in Nj…especially used ones, they just don’t come up for sale. There’s not a huge following of these things in this state

[@cornpapbrecht4529]

Home looks great. Allot of time and care out into it. It shows. Your "extra" drive faces, you want to sell? I'm researching some engine upgrades. I may need a new one to go with that. I still have my stock one 🙄

[@WideOpenThrottle]

CornPap Brecht I really don’t want to sell them, I didn’t have good experiences with either one of them. Lost mph on the too end on both of them. I’m talkin 8-10mph not just a few. Can’t be my setup because as soon as I put the stock face the mph went right back up. I dunno if these are from the same batch and the angle wasn’t cut right. There’s a couple other people I talked to that had the same exact issue. So I don’t want to take anyone’s money and give out a bad part.

[@cornpapbrecht4529]

That's cool. Appreciate the honesty. I won't look at one of those new then either 👍. Good video. Stay safe man!

[@WideOpenThrottle]

CornPap Brecht you may have better luck...I have seen a lot of success stories of people who use them. In my case and a few others, they just didn’t work out. They can be had for $30...but still, $30 on a part that may not work?

[@boi2012]

You installed everything yourself or had a shop do it? Live in Boston Massachusetts and I haven't seen much activity in people with ruckus here

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Douglas Jerez what’s up bud...everything done to the bike was done with my hands. It was never at a shop for anything, last time it was in a shop was the day I bought it! Plenty of vids on here on pretty much how to do anything or at least out you on the right path.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Douglas Jerez same thing here in NJ...everyone that has one is spread out so far it’s difficult to get together

[@boi2012]

Wide Open Throttle That’s dope you did a awesome job on the build. I am trying to learn as much as I can have always wanted a ruckus for like 5yrs finally got one this summer and so far it’s been out of service 4 times (currently not running) and a oil leak from the engine smh 🤦‍♂️

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Douglas Jerez thanks man appreciate that. Yes they can be a headache sometimes, I can’t disagree with you there. Keep goin at it, you’ll get all the kinks ironed out!

[@scootgangtv7047]

Love the exhaust

[@WideOpenThrottle]

scootgang TV thank you...I do too. Hotlap makes great stuff

[@scootgangtv7047]

Yessir I’m finally starting the build process on my 19 ruckus

[@WideOpenThrottle]

scootgang TV nice man! Glad to hear. Make sure you buy what you really want the 1st time around. I’m going back and changing stuff with stuff I knew I shoulda bought to begin with!

[@scootgangtv7047]

No worries lol I have about 300$ worth of stuff in my cart

[@WideOpenThrottle]

scootgang TV that’s the best part lol

[@eugenerios2901]

where u buy rear deck cover

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Directly from the place that made them…they aren’t in business anymore though.

[@73seabass]

I would like some info on how to buy some of that headlight film if you could please.

I ordered it bro, thanx

@@73seabass thank you for your order! 🙏🏻

[@ohpopozuda]

Where and who did you get the custom fender bracket from on FB?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Guy in the Honda Ruckus group. Don’t think he is making them for anyone though. Haven’t seen anyone else with one besides myself and him.

[@quinton7854]

So if a 12 inch rim barely clears it's still a long case engine right? Thought long cases could fit a 13 inch rim

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I think your referring to a GY6...this is a GET engine. You can fit a 13” wheel on a GET engine with a tiny tire. Inch bigger wheel, tire thickness has to go down an inch.

[@quinton7854]

@@WideOpenThrottle sweet thanks for the reply, reason I was asking is I didnt know the engine, also was wanting to build one, and with a short case gy6 only being able to fit a 10inch, thought a smaller tire would be able to run a 12 inch rim

[@WideOpenThrottle]

@@quinton7854 I’m not sure about all the stuff with the GY platform. I wish I could help you out bud

[@quinton7854]

@@WideOpenThrottle no worries just thought I would ask

sugerDADDY Sriracha man I was just talking to another person with the same story also.

[@mauricejohns3635]

Have a question maybe you can help me with. Do you know of anyone who puts or customize the front end Maxi type scooters where I can have two front tires in the front of a Suzuki Burgman 400 instead of the trike kit in the back I want to see if I can put one in the front and if so how can you be done basically trying to make it into a Ryker or Can-Am Style

[@WideOpenThrottle]

MAURICE JOHNS no sir I don’t. Wish I could help.

[@zwest549]

2 questions : is this bike for sale ? And do u do custom bike jobs?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I would sell the bike...no I don’t do custom jobs. Appreciate the compliment, that means a lot!

[@chi-townH]

Great vid & nice mods on your Ruk!!! Do you have a name or link for your LED head lights from Amazon? I want to try them out since you mentioned they weren’t bad for price.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Horacio Prado no I don’t have any idea which ones they are...I bought them well over a year ago. I can tell you this, they are 35watts (stock wattage) and the back is gold, there is no ballast. I moved not too long ago and I threw out the box when i moved. Actually you know what, you’re in luck. I went back thru my amazon orders. Here you go. Seems like they changed the listing though. The ones I bought are 35watts. Chylay H4 LED Headlights Bulbs,... www.amazon.com/dp/B07J68S4NL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@Jeffdelgado28]

When are you going to make a new video

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I’ve been slacking my man...I gotta get on it...I moved into a new home several months back and just have been concentrating on doing projects around the house. Literally everyday after work I spend a few hrs and weekends working on the house. I still have to have time for my son and wife. Funny you said this now my wife just said to me today, go out on your bike and film. Within in the week or so I’m gonna drop a ride along for sure. Good to hear from you bro!
