It's all the little things, attention to detail, that makes a bike (car, or truck) look good, great idears/list, my friend 👍😁🏍

[@gunstig-no]

Nice and clear video your bike is cool. I like that you kreps The ligths back and front that REALLY make The bike

[@jrnumex9286]

the modded out ruckus is getting cliche'. i like the stock ones i see people camping with, bags, cargo carrier, wind screen, quiet muffler.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Jr nu mex everyone has different uses for them. For me it’s strictly street.

[@raymondjohnregalado3361]

Yeah me too. Ruckus stock makes it classic.. you can see history.

[@TheStripperSteel]

Great video! Thinking about getting a Rockus and this gives me some great beginner mod ideas. Thank you!

[@WideOpenThrottle]

They are a lotta fun my friend. Easy to work on. Just a blast all around. Gets addicting though lol.

[@TheStripperSteel]

@@WideOpenThrottle awesome and thanks for the reply. I can defiantly see it being addicting. I can't wait to join the addition though lol.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

@@TheStripperSteel if you’re planning on going all out...might as well buy used. You literally get rid of everything anyways!

[@brnkslrng]

Where you get the rear light mount from? I enjoy your channel bro, keep it up

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I believe I ordered it from eBay or amazon...it’s called a Tidy Tail. I know they are pretty much impossible find these days though.

[@coolshariq]

Wow that ruckus looks clean 👌 fatty tire and hotlap exhaust very nice mods I need the carbon fiber radiator cover.

[@zaidumar7168]

Hey whats up,I'm a new subscriber,...any shops you recommend in North Jersey for custom work or do you do any?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Hey what’s up. I don’t know of any shops in NJ that do custom work. Everything that’s done to my bike I did myself. Unfortunately I do not have time to work on these as a customer base. Your best bet is to ask on Facebook Honda ruckus group if anyone in there knows any place in NJ. Someone may. Thanks 🙏 for subscribing

[@jblaust]

Nice bike! Where did you get the carbon fiber radiator cover? Link? Thanks

[@bayhustle07]

What stretch kit did you go with and was it easy to install?

[@rayhoffman7673]

Did you do the paint job on your Ruckus, it looks good.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

No, that’s actually vinyl. I did it myself. I removed it not too long ago, the bike is all white now. Planning on doing a different color scheme.

[@BikersandBags]

I have pegs on mine (they came on the scooter) however I find myself having my feet in front of me more often than not. I rode a Harley with forward controls for the longest time so maybe that's why.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Hey, that’s just how you’re comfortable. I feel more secure to the side. I’m also a new rider that could be it

[@billsmith2860]

Love the bike man where did you get the wheels and tires

[@ralphtena9539]

Where did you get the rear brake light lower kit

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I got that years ago…think I got mine from Amazon but it’s the Legit brand not a knock off.

[@koobmvang]

What kickstand you have on? I’ve been looking for one. Thanks

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I have a mojo customs cvt mount kick stand

[@ferdifresh8464]

i should stop watching these videos, i keep ending up buying stuff i didnt know i need xD Just ordered some dress up hardware! :) Great video though! By the way, do you know any places where you can buy used ruckus stuff?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Lol … dress up hardware is a must have!! Yes you can get plenty of used parts if you join the Honda ruckus page on Facebook. Besides there, I do not know of anyplace else. FLP puts parts on sale that are blemishes, but he usually posts that on the Facebook group.

[@ferdifresh8464]

@@WideOpenThrottle Thanks Bud!

[@joeyvodopija3315]

What are the spikes on your battery box called & where could I find them ?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I’m not 100% sure what they are called to be honest. I bought them a few years ago. I believe I was searching for dress up hardware for motorcycles and found those. Not sure if they are from eBay or Amazon

[@nimai0108]

Hi What size are the dress up hardware bolts?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

I honestly don’t remember. I bought these from Amazon years ago and have since changed them all out with FLP dress up hardware. Don’t cheap out buy the good stuff. The cheap stuff the bolts break and Allen screws strip easily.

[@nimai0108]

@@WideOpenThrottle thanks bro 🙏 appreciate the quick response

[@Elevated805]

What is the “tidy tail” light part called? Is it on Amazon? Thanks for video!

[@WideOpenThrottle]

That is the name of it. Tidy tail. They were on amazon on one time. I have heard in online groups people are having a lot of trouble finding anyone that has them in stock. Hard part to get right now.

[@Elevated805]

@@WideOpenThrottle I found it on ebay. Do you have to shave down the metal part from where the stock tail lights used to be, or just take it off & put the tidy tail over the metal thats left? Thanks for the info.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

No problem man. Glad you got a hold of 1. Simply bolts to the stock tail light mount. Super easy. Enjoy

[@Smokie1013]

Nice vid 👍 thanks for the tips

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Smokie thank you, appreciate it! Thank you for stopping by

[@RuckasGUY]

Hey man can you give me a link to your mods

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Hey bud...this stuff was all bought from a bunch of different websites. Pretty much all of the big name websites

[@avongyang2783]

What was the hub size for the back

[@WideOpenThrottle]

It’s a modified Kymco hub for the GET motor. I bought it from machined machines. I don’t know the size off hand.

[@paulrodriguez6121]

good mods thanks for the video

[@eazykeymejorada714]

Can you help find a second hand battery box for my Gy6 ruckus

[@WideOpenThrottle]

EAZY KEY Mejorada best bet is to join one of the groups on Facebook and ask in there. People are always selling stuff. I’ve seen plenty of them for sale.

[@eazykeymejorada714]

Questions can i turn my stock Gy6 manifold into front detection

[@WideOpenThrottle]

EAZY KEY Mejorada I mentioned before to look into a CLOCKING FLANGE to do that. You have to buy that.

[@eazykeymejorada714]

Any idea its starting at first but its wont go straight running

[@WideOpenThrottle]

EAZY KEY Mejorada it could be a bunch of stuff making it not run. You’ll have to go on a forum and post a video for help

[@scarscar_thecat6780]

love the intro

[@ezurmnd]

Digging the bike what size wheels?

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Thanks bud...12x8 rear and 12x4 front

[@stiloweducationalvideosdum4396]

Is there a place where they sale these bikes??

[@derekp13]

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Danny Stackpoole bro lmao that guy really pi$$ed me off man...he lives 3 houses down, has been seeing the bike for over a year now,and decides to ask questions when I’m out trying to get this done. Lived here for 8 years and we have never said a word to one another.
