thats going to make a great naked bike i want to do a naked build but not to sure on the laws on it over here I think it's mostly concerned with things like sharp edges. In case you hit a pedestrian. Not allowed loose panel's. Have to have boards or pegs for your feet. |

Does the ZX motor have a vertical cylinder?
Every now and again you see one of them two stroke ruckus builds pop up and they always use a vertical minarelli. As far as I know this would be the first one on the Honda platform.

As far as I know this would be the first one on the Honda platform. Yes, the Kymco ZX motor is a vertical cylinder just like the Honda elite AF16 motor. The major difference between the kymco motor and the honda motor is that you can fit a 12" wheel on the Kymco ZX motor. The frame I am using is not a Ruckus frame. However I do plan on using a Ruckus style seat and seat sub frame. I have yet to find a cheap one to see how it fits up. |

That makes sense. Are you going to go for that ruckus look? Lowered stance n' all that

out of curiosity why those tires? I was considering swapping my knobby tires to street tires but I am not sure what to use. Are the Pirelli tires nice?
