Hey y'all I just picked up an 88 sb50 for free. The plans are to make it GET powered (ruckus). I'm in desperate need for some body panels for the sb tho.

And here's my spree that I swapped a ruck engine on

Thanks swim. It was a little side project in my spare time. She scoots pretty good I tuned the cvt and such to get up to my too speed quick seeing that I only ride in town where it's either 30 or 35. My top speed is 43mph. I wanna try some pink zuma engagement springs. Anyone have any input on those I know there's not a whole lot of people with ruckus engines on this site.

Is that a ruck front fork on the spree? How much work was entailed in that?

Birdman it's actually not a ruck but a gy6 50 front fork. A guy at work wrecked his Chinese scoot and threw it away so I stole the 50cc engine and front fork and some controls for the disc brake. Any who it just swapped out the steering tube and welded the spree one into the gy6 fork

Pretty neat, but it looks like it would rub up a storm against the leg shield.

doesnt rub ive been riding this every day for the most part for about 5 months now and it never touches the frame at all. i had to cut the leg shield to let the forks move but thats only because i slid the forks up in the tree to lower it
