Re: Dasshreddar's Seat Transplant
Not too functional -- you lose the underseat storage bin! Obviously the plastics won't fit either. What are you planning on doing to get the fairings to match up?

Re: Dasshreddar's Seat Transplant

Re: Dasshreddar's Seat Transplant
Yeah no underseat lockable storage, but still plenty of room for a seat bag or something under the seat.
This is a no fairing in the rear project, with foot pegs and no floor board
If Honda or Yamaha made a 150 ruckus, with the gas tank on the floor and handlebars detached from the dash, I would of bought one of those.

Re: Dasshreddar's Seat Transplant
Is that post-weld and painted? Looks surprisingly good.
So you're going with the tube frame for the ruck look? How about in the front?

Re: Dasshreddar's Seat Transplant
Yeah the foot peg bracket just got welded on, in that pic.
Seat frame is mostly done, still tweaking the seat cushion to sit a little lower.
The front fairing/headlight, fuel door and center consule is staying, for now
Tail light I have no idea for now, probably use the ruckus tail so I can at least ride it.

Re: Dasshreddar's PCX/Ruckus Hybrid
Ghetto yes, but actually very secure with 4 regular zip ties.
Took the bracket I made for the gy6/ruckus and put it on the PCX.
Here is the tail light and blinkers welded to the rear end(license plate attaches under the tail light).
Also added a custom fender to the rear.

Re: Dasshreddar's PCX/Ruckus Hybrid
Leaving the front end stock for now. I need to trim the stock windscreen down a bit, because the new steering setup hits the visor at full turn...
