Hey all! I was given this Ruck by a friend. It sat up in his garage for a little over a year and he had no interest in it. I told him I'd get it running for him but he said I could just have it. Cleaned carb, replaced main jet and spark plug and it fired right up. It had some pretty good scuffs, bumps and bruises so I decided I'd paint it and do some Sharpie art. Deleted fenders and rad cover. Chopped seat 3" (still need to weld on rear tabs). Turned out pretty good so far. I've got about $25 invested in it so far ha. Gonna do some pegs and drag bars and something to make it a little faster still.    |

Lucky score! Nice, I may have to bite your method there.. that looks like a CG graphics wrap.

I been riding mine with the seat like that for a little over 4 years now. I would say unless you are over 250 pounds the rear tabs aren't needed. gives the seat a bit of a spring feel.
and ditching those knobby ass kendas will be the best thing you could do for ride quality

I personally like the perelli SL26 tires. just make sure they are mounted correctly. the front will look like its backwards, but that is how its supposed to look. but really just about any tire will be better than the stockers

I would have used louder colors, you haven't quite succeeded in creating an SEP field around it yet.

 I need friends that hand out Hondas.  Great looking Sharpie work! I'm diggin' the "Don't Panic" and "42". Needs "Mostly harmless." on some free spot IMO.
