The donor scooter. 2006 Genuine Blur(USA) / PGO G-Max(Taiwan)
Bought this baby at the dealership "Scooterville" in Minnesota and had it delivered to texas!

Mock up on top of gf's scooter
Got the Composimo mount 808 stroker edition in chrome powder
getting things bolted up
wiring is fun!

Looks good with the matching wheels. And bigger size also. I know TR like to stick with the 10" wheels. I looked quick but what did you end up with for the rear shock. Composimo has the mount but the swingarm doesn't. Look sick so far, nice work.
no i don't ride a scooter, i am a scooter pilot!

Jesus gearhead, what's next a "Stellackus" ya might as well swap the whole genuine line-up into a ruckus.
That looks sweet though, like the orange wheels.
Isn't your "Buduckus" bigger than the stock blur engine though?

thanks for the kind comments guys! the buduckus went to talton (the guy at amerivespa with the red ruckus). I let him have my whole setup and with the money he gave me, i was able to build the blurkus. Although the buduckus is a 161cc, i like the blurs 13" wheels and will maybe bigboring the blur engine or might just drop the 220 engine in there

That looks pretty good! How's it handle in the Ruckus' frame? I think that's one instance where the shiny chrome Prima exhaust would look good.

Surprisingly it handles great, almost to where i can drag my knees lolLostmycage wrote:That looks pretty good! How's it handle in the Ruckus' frame? I think that's one instance where the shiny chrome Prima exhaust would look good.
It's probably because it's not so low like the buduckus i had.
Im thinking about getting some ultra low down forks so i can get that nice low look but then i'd be sacrificing handling on the twisty roads.
I've already got a yoshimura exhaust that my buddy is going to weld me a mounting bracket for it
thanks!bigbropgo wrote:bride seat and everything. Supa hawt! Color combo looks cool.
too bad a yoshimura will be replacing itjasondavis48108 wrote:Is that giant black tube sticking out the back the exhuast? Looks pretty awesome if ya ask me.
the wheels are both 13"Kaos wrote:I like the way the big wheels turned out, what size are the Blur wheels anyway? I'm trying to compare it to the 12" wheels I've got on my Buddy right now.
the front uses a 120/30-13 and the rear is a 130/30-13

Wow! This thread came back from the dead after being dormant for a couple of months. Thanks dorbydorby wrote:nice!
Here is an update. I finally installed my low down forks, aluminum triple tree, and custom exhaust. I had to pay some coin for that aluminum triple tree which wasnt part of the plan but the front end feels so light and nimble now compared to when i was using the blur triple tree with the ruckus steering column welded to it
I will need to do a wire tuck on this thing and clean it up a bit
Im also running that AFR gauge utilizing the O2 sensor for better tuning

Wow you have to have a special scooter perspective and desire to do something like this. No matter what its impressive that it works at all. As a result has the total wheelbase been drastically extended longer then each individual scoot or is that just an illusion. If so does the stock shock and spring that have to deal with the extra wheelbase leverage at the pivot point work or did you have to install a custom oversize shock and spring?
Its quite an industrial looking head turner, congrats!
