GY6 Ruckus Ride

[@kb3gjp123]

no Helmet and Flip flops. Real cool.

[@BlueRidgeDave]

@jtech87 - Yah.. i ordered a set when i first saw it on TR.. i got them in a month.. haven't installed them yet though.. seeing them again on yours makes me want to go do it.. any probs getting the lens to come apart? If i could find a used ruckus cheap running or not.. i would prob do GY6 swap.. just to do it..

[@BlueRidgeDave]

your ruck looks sweet.. i saw your other vids.. and now i see the angel eyes installed.. looks nice.. sounds good.. what kind of speed you get off it now?

[@L78Nova2]

Never seen one of these, cool. Very cute lil lady, too.

[@jtech87]

@BlueRidgeRuckus You should install them! I they are so bright I use them to ride around at night, I don't even have headlights yet haha. They get lots of looks from people and cops dont know what to think. They install pretty easy just heat them up and wedge a screwdriver or something between the glass and pry it apart.

[@kentmocc]

bike looks great! great video editing too :)

[@Foreverfound]

Like the swap no doubt, just finished mine a few months ago, but only thing I'd suggest is get some custom handle bars and stem for sure. Also...I liked the blue MUCH BETTER than the red....the blue was JDM style too almost ..

[@jtech87]

@BlueRidgeRuckus Yes the angel eyes are great, everyone stares at them. The only bad thing about them is it took a month for them to come in =(. But they are crazy bright. It will go just over 60 if i push it but i never really do. I just get up to around 45 and drop the throttle all the way down just to hold that speed.

[@OhCheez]

I bought a chinese 150cc Vespa style scooter off the side of the road and it has some body damage. I bought some paint in a can but I dont know what to do first, I have thinner and sanding sponges.

[@jtech87]

@gst69man It's a Chinese gy6 I got off craigs list for $150 bucks with mods. Runs great and is very fast for a 150cc.

[@jtech87]

@tronclay In stock form it would do 42mph with my 210 pounds on it. Uphill it topped out at 30.

[@jtech87]

@kb3gjp123 Actually it is a Honda passport (a supercub). Dug it out a junk yard and got it running. Those bikes and indestructible.

[@Foreverfound]

@jtech87 Actually, Standard Functions has done quite a few Projector headlights flush mount in the batterybox, but it would still be sweet!! I've thought about different headlight setups, but can't make up my mind. update vid when you do the projector for sure peace

[@jtech87]

@RuckusRob420 @RuckusRob420 Yeah Im redoing it completely right now. I was gonna paint it black but I also liked the blue so I may go with that. I also made some drag handle bars for it a while back so the stock bars are gone. I'm putting on a new front end with a disk brake and I'm putting a pair of projection headlights molded into the battery box. Its gonna be awesome when it's done and I don't think anyone's put a pair of projectors in the battery box before.

[@jtech87]

@kentmocc Thanks! I actually had a lot of fun with the editing lol. Definitely gonna keep at it and get better with each vid.

[@jtech87]

@kb3gjp123 Lol yeah that how she does it. I usually wear my helmet but she is raw like that. I only let her ride around on very slow roads without gear.

[@javonsanders1502]

How long did it take to do the conversion

[@pipersmitty87]

jtech Awesome job man.

[@str8razerDnB]

you have to extend it. Plenty of kits on the market

[@gst69man]

that bike is SICK. Did you get a GY6 made by Honda or a chinese one? I have a chinese scoot with a gy6 and it runs well. Thanks for the great vid.

[@roamer3727]

could you tell me where you bought the handlebars for the Ruckus.i cant seem to find them anywhere

[@BBO1914]

did you end up selling this one...i remember seeing it for sale on craigslist

[@jtech87]

@kb3gjp123 Yeah, she is my cousin. I have many more vids of her riding, she is an odd girl.

[@pekitas]

nice video man, Im going to do the same...NOW, one question, what do I really need to do the swap ? 1- gy6 engine and what else ? do i really need the extension ? do I need another rim for the rear wheel ? any tips would help .

[@WillowWarrenFarms]

Dani Siem did you ever get the information that you needed? I do not have a clue on what all i need to be able to do the conversion.

[@verume1]

yeah the blue did look better but it's still a cool ass bike, reminds me of the bat-bike

[@MrMinimalst]

Nice ride! I'm going to be that guy... Riding in sandals is not smart. So easy to break a toe. And if you were to wreck or be involved in an accident... Dress for the crash, not the ride. Enjoy the ride!

[@richie2nice]

that girl looks so familiar. does her name begin with a r?

[@jodirt2k7]

Are they street legal ?

[@91cannibal]

are those angel eyes??? wha!!! haha

[@tronclay]

holy shit these things are bad ass i cant wait to pick one up. im a student and i dont usually need to go over 40mph and these things look fun as hell to ride, how much do you weigh and how fast can you go? Im worried this thing will only hit like 20mph with my fat ass on it

[@kb3gjp123]

the other person is riding a Vespa. I ride a Ruckus and a Vespa GTS 300 Super.

[@kb3gjp123]

a women WOW!
