Well, didn't see that on there website. The smallest wheel I have seen on a ruckus is a 10" wheel, wonder if a 8" would fit.

Problem is none of the hubs for the GET are that lug pattern, however a machine shop would be able to modify the hub to work. Oh and you know you will need to offset the engine correct?

I meant for you... If I change my rear wheel at all it'll still be skinny.

Probably a 12x4.

That would be nice, I will look into it. I am putting the ruckus on hold again though since I want to get the BMW looking good again.

All sounds good. I'd half-n-half the wheels though- like turquoise lip/purple"spokes" maybe? I feel like one solid color of something that bright would look weird against another "poppy" color. Your bike though.... :shrug:

OH... If your tank is gonna be necked on the bottom, paint the tank purple, so there's a little purp peeking out from the bottom. Would look dope.

THIS. More contact patch only slows the scoot down and makes it less "flick-able". Kinda takes away from the good points of riding something so light.

As for helmet: Scorpion NEXO - Flat black with a mirrored shield..... and the SHOEI TZ-1 my dad just gave me. I may leave that one put away though. Something kinda cool about having a "limited run" design that's 8 years old in ABSOLUTELY MINT condition. Fucker even gave me the original bag and clear lens.
