Lowered Moped Picture Thread
I am contemplating lowering my 87 Elite when my new engine comes in, but I need me some inspiration. If you have any pictures, preferably of Elites, Aeros and the like, lowered Ruckus's are a dime a dozen, post them here. There is a how to without pictures, so if you have a pictured how to post that up here to. Thanks guys!

Some of those are killer! I can only dream of a bike like that. I would love to slam and stretch mine like some of those!

Re: Lowered Moped Picture Thread
Springs are unbolted and just sitting on the arms, I never rode it like this. If you take the springs out (like most here do), the undercowl sits at around 1/4-1/2" ground clearance The rear is stock height.
I need to snap a pic of me sitting on it. I cut about 1" out of my springs so they sit a little lower. Now they are bottomed out 90% of the time, but it rides smooth enough for me and doesn't sit low enough to destroy itself on the ground.
I found an OLD pic, this is the day I got it, 1st mod: slammed! Ended up raising it back up as I learned, suspension is nice on your frame.

Yeah, bottoming out your suspension on two little wheels can really cause you grief, as in808BMW wrote:I found an OLD pic, this is the day I got it, 1st mod: slammed! Ended up raising it back up as I learned, suspension is nice on your frame.

Re: Lowered Moped Picture Thread
Bear has some good points. I would add that if you lower it be sure to stiffen it.

Re: Lowered Moped Picture Thread
My current ride height:
On 87's you have to trim the underside of your front panel if you go too low, mine is overly cut because it used to be much lower (like when the seat was pink). I have an undercowl for the extra low points, and all my friends that are "in the know" give me compliments on it constantly It sits perfect for me, I can clear speed bumps and don't scrape it on anything I normally encounter. I just fear rocks.
