The rads plastic too so no worries . The bowls frame was too small for our huge plates , so after staring at it for awhile , hey that looks the same size hole pattern so I lucked out . I made a brass screen insert to fit inside it and ran the screws thru it too . I like it !

I cut and repositioned the tailight bracket and need to trim it up a bit more . Bonus was now I had a place to mount the Stebil compact horn . You can see I have to finish up the lowered seat bracket and paint it , also top up the coolant . I'd like to get some new stainless hex bolts to replace the stock ones .

Hey Backlater -

I see you have the same NCY Exhaust as me, did you end up welding it together? I had my welded as well. Nice looking Ruck man!

Yeah I welded mine also and ground it smooth . It came out not too bad . I'm just afraid it will rust a bit tho . Thanks brahdahood I find it a bit loud when its WOT but I'm getting used to it . I like the way it looks . btw I had to weld it a bit angled away from the phat rear tire to clear .

great to see that you're making progress on your ruck! looking good!

can't wait to see it!

Well first ride to work today with the fresh BB piston , BSS cam , PC20 , Metro gear , & NCY pipe . Its much better on the hills and I can fly on the straights , but I'm hitting the limiter , so this weekend I'm installing the new Kitaco cdi . No oil leaks ! and no overheating ! knock on wood

Should I paint the seat frame ?

Paint it.

The speedo looks outa place. and ya i would paint it

Well I redid the license plate placement (after getting a $170 ticket for unreadable plate) . I painted the lowered seat frame but I still have to smooth down the welds as you can see ...
I also wired up the rear frame led brake light and installed a flashing brake light in the stock brakelight , I'll have to get some vid of the setup with the new rear turn signal lights too . Thats all so far , I'm waiting for JC's solid manifold for the PC20 to replace my cracked rubber manifold , gonna do the valve shims soon , and fine tune the BB . This winter I'll get the flywheel shaved . Oh I'm planning to mount a set of folding passenger footrests from an Elite ( should look trick) to replace the center pegs .

Cool. Are those clubman's supossed to be upside down?

no, but its called cafe race look from back in the 50's.



but anyways, anymore updates of the ruck.

Your ruckus looks badass. The plate mount rocks!

newb.

Looks f***ing great backlater. I love it.

Sorry about the ticket. I have yet to be pulled over on mine. I am now jinxing myslef.

I am jealous of your PC20 btw.

Nice and nasty!!!
