A stretched Ruckus not only looks cool but adds some stability and control when drag racing or riding low and slow.
![]() Our stretch kit can be purchased here. The first step to installation is to remove the engine and all wiring from the rear frame. Though not necassary, it makes it easier to rewire and tuck wires later when you have an idea of where the engine and components will sit with the engine stretched. Also, it would be wise to do any painting with everything stripped off the frame to prevent any nasty overspray. The next step is the bolt on the Dual Mount to the rear cross bar of the rear frame. This is the point where you have to decide what type of rim setup you will be using either stock size rims or fatty rims. It will be difficult to change rim sizes unless you remove and install the kit from the beginning again. We will outline using the stock wheel size setting on this kit first. Leave the shaft collars slightly loose so you can bolt on the forward support strut later. Below you see the engine about to be bolted up with the forward support strut in place. Here is a different angle of the engine bolted up with the forward support strut in place and mount in place. When using the stock rim size setting, the shock bolts on the right side of the shock mount. When using fatty rim sizes, bolt shock onto left side of shock mount. Use included washers to help offset the the shock if necessary. This part of the guide will focus on using the kit with fatty sized rims (10x8 and 12x8). Dual mount bolted on with angled side facing left for fatty rim offset. Engine bolted up with forward support strut ran on the left side (variator side) of the side. Some extra things to consider: If you are using a fatty rim setup, you will either have to modify your existing exhaust or obtain a fatty exhaust to clear the wider rim. ![]() This kit is also available with 10x5 and 10x8 rims in our products section.
