Please give us a better video detailing the equipment on your Ruckus, I want the same setup. Please give links to the handguards and the first aid kit, and the gas can holder and rack PLEASE!
@@ArturJHeller Thanks for the view and comment about the rack it was from a company based out of Texas but I don’t remember the name you might google it to see if something pops up and it’s been an excellent rack for the ruckus
I also have both the Kimimoto front barrel & underseat bags. I added a different rear cargo carrier that is a little smaller but good for 120lbs. It can also be used as a passenger seat but won't. Interesting rear cargo box. I have 2 both purchased from Home Depot. They are the black with yellow lid HTC boxes. 1 is a 7 gallon & the other a 14 gallon. I can use them separately or stacked. Its a simple matter to strap them down. Since we last spoke, I am now running a Polini variator with an enlarged drive face, tachometer, kevlar belt, 5gram Dr. Pulley Sliders, EVI with a performance ignition coil & KGN IR spark plug. Also increased rear tire pressure to 35psi with 28psi on front. I am set up to cruise at 40mph getting up to speed quick but the max speed is only 43mph. Intend to keep it like this until at least Spring when I will decide if I want to rejet the carb, add more air flow & a tuned exhaust. Not really sure the extra 4mph would be worth it ? I'm at 500 miles now riding purely in town running all my errands.
Update: We have about the same mileage. I changed slider gram weight to average 4.75 ( 3x5 & 3x4.5) I only use non-ethanol gas & I started adding 1 measured tablespoon of Octane Booster when I fill up at 100 miles. It does nothing for top speed but makes a huge difference on hills. I can now cruise at 43/44mph (use a GPS speed app on phone which shows 1mph slower than the stock speedometer) easily & max speed 46/47mph. Since you are riding in the country & loaded, you may try the Octane Booster tip. Guy in Kentucky uses STP & I use Royal Purple.
Yes thank you for the comment and video watch yes I looked into both of those I went with the Kenny Moto I like the strap system better versus the other under seat bag and the rack system I got is from ruck rack I think is where I got it from thanks for the comment
Thanks for showing us your Ruckus set up.. It is a shame that you don't even have the standard underseat storage that just about every single scooter on the planet has. The Honda Ruckus is the only scooter on the planet that doesn't have basic underseat storage.. There.. I said it twice. I hope Honda is listening.. For the relatively high price you pay for a Ruckus, it should include some basic underseat storage.

ooooh I LIKE that bag on the battery housing!
Nice setup! Thanks for the video!
If you're going off road so much you should get some knobby tires. Nice setup.
Actually I have two different sets I was going to share in a video of the couple of options that people have in my thoughts on each set
Great setup! I have a question, can you give us more info about the rear rack? Looks like it is high quality.

That is a cool set up.. Thank you.

Thank you for the view and comment I've learned quite a few things from what you done I appreciate your input on the videos it's helped a lot
I just bought a Ruckus and I'm not having much luck finding a rear rack. Where did you get yours? Honda dealer ?

@@chdjhns I had the same question. Guess I’ll try Amazon and E-Bay. Can usually find anything on those.
NICE, thanks for the video. Can you list where you got your bags.
Check rucrac on youtube. Great rear cargo rack and front rack.
Also gets Chase Harper underseat bag.

Nice rack! I plan to get a scooter or minimoto and take up camping in Quebec next year.
Where do You buy your stuff
Do you have links to the side bags. I would like to know more.
Thank you for the view and comment they are just to cheap Molly bags off Amazon
Thanks for sharing. I need some advice
Nice setup. Where did you get the handlebar wind guards? Also the windshield?
The hand guards I bought off Amazon and the windshield was also off Amazon I think it was called the spitfire windshield thanks for the comment
@@chip-arkansashillbilly2900
Do the hand guards mount to the mirror bolts
@@darrylhilton4289 no they don't they mount to The handlebar itself
@@chip-arkansashillbilly2900
