l post a pic tonight and show you mine.

maybe an aluminum water can and spray paint it black. also paint your radiator black too. some other suggestions, paint the gray part on the gas cap black or buy a new one, keep the chrome ring part. paint the headers black. yea gold pin striping and white wall tires with spoked wheels would be gangsta!

Ok this is what i was talking about, it blends in perfect with the other black on the bike...

I also painted my 2 bros full system pipes (with yoshi slip on) flat black with rattle can exhaust paint from o'reilly or autozone as well. So far both paints holding up really good! each can cost like 10$

I feel like painting the radiator might be a bad idea, correct me if im wrong though. I just ordered a radiator guard since mine is naked and needs protection, i might paint the cover flat black instead of the actual radiator.

That's would be awesome. I've seen someone make one out of aluminium monster can. Headers are getting wrapped and radiator is getting a shield for rocks. I like your spoked wheels idea. That would be gangsta!

This bike totally rocks. The only comment or suggestion is the front fender looks like it came off a 250 ninja or something.

Yeah the bike is straight up amazing, and would look even better when the fender gets ditched for something more - cafe-ish

A pregen front fender could be cut down to cafe proportions. Not sure if it bolts onto the newgen forks, though.

I'm still trimming mine:

I love to work in fiberglass. The biggest challenge I have with a fender is getting it the same shape on both sides. I ended up buying one for about 100 dollars. It looks like the yellow one in the photo above.

Interesting thing happend today... I text my buddy, who owns an 05 ducati monster, and tell him im going to build me a front fender from scratch. He tells me he has one hes not gonna use anymore. long story short he shoes up with this:

So i take my stock fender off and trim up the bracket underneath.

and it fits!




Getting paint tomorrow And yes its getting trimmed smaller...

That's brilliant. The one I bought is for a 19 inch rim. It has a funny gap front and rear. This looks like the way to my next fender. I need to make a large land speed racing fender for my next bike.

Installed a mirror

My buddy has been bugging me to ride it... so today was his lucky day.

Then Another friend showed up and had to try it.... And they loved it.


Mini blinkers for the rear installed tomorrow.

Nice, took my advice

That is looking so sexy, especially with the new fender. Paint the coolant reservoir flat black with bumper paint!!! You wont be disappointed. unless you have something cooler in mind

Are those aftermarket clipons or is the riding position different from the seat? Looks like you lean forward a good amount

Definitely look like aftermarket clip ons... See how they're mounted below the triple tree...

This bike is so cool.
This is what I found to replace the factory over flow bottle. It is for a Ruckus.
Look at this on eBay:

Weapon-R 826-138-201 Aluminum Coolant Overflow Tank Honda Ruckus.
