Got new DIO-style wheels (10x3 120/90/10 front, not 10x2.15 90/90/10) and a domokun keychain (well, ok, it was a 6" plush that I sewed a clip onto..)

Also ground off the arm on the center stand so it doesn't block my kick starter anymore. Since I can't seem to find a good place to put a start button, I'm using the kickstarter to start up and I really don't mind that at all, but having to put it on the center stand to start up without smacking the kickstarter into the center stand arm was getting pretty annoying--especially whenever I stalled it when I was still tuning!

I also hooked up a light to the "engine overheating" circuit, so I'll know if i'm gonna bake the engine or not, although if the light comes on it's pretty much too late anyway I suspect.

Here's a HUGE pic of my ruck as it sits currently:

That's right, they like me! I have my doubts about winning, since it always seems to go to a GY6 conversion, typically put together by professionals who get featured in tuning magazines and such, but it feels pretty good just to be nominated.

I'm up against some pretty heavy hitters to be honest.. :P

Here's some pics of the new coolant tank on my ruckus. They turned out okay.

This site needs to be rebuilt a bit.. or perhaps bulked up is the right word. I've learned a bit about Drupal since I first set up this site, I just haven't had any free time to maintain it :P

Soo anyhow, you could have always looked at my Flickr photostream, but here's where we're at now...

got on the list for the first 5 custom milled seat frames here - http://totalruckus.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=40435

the plan now is to take my bike completely apart, clean the fuel system, re-run the fuel lines, replace fuel filter and check valve.

going to spraycan the aluminum frame, grind all the fiddly bits (unused wire hangers and such) off the rear frame and get it powdercoated.

before spring the goal is to get a new front end and get my pirelli tires installed.

my ruck is going to be AMAZING next year ;-)
