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

    Hi What size are the dress up hardware bolts?

    • @WideOpenThrottle
      @WideOpenThrottle  Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

      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

      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

      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.

      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.
