*SGT SPREE*
New build! taking the RT70 off the ruckus and transplanting it onto a spree frame I picked up for free. you all might remember my old mina spree, my first 2t build.
this bike already has a mount welded onto it for a GET motor with a 8" wide wheel. I'm going to take advantage of this mount and run a skinny. should center right up if I did my measuring correct.
I decided to do a drum setup on this one seeing as I'm only using it in straight lines. I still need to get a ruckus triple tree.
SSS spree gusset is sitting at a friends house waiting to be welded on
wheels are 12" grand axis rear wheel and an old school 10" Honda wheel up front. matchy matchy only a few pics right now but you get the idea of where I'm headed. My fastest time on my ruckus at the drags is a 10.8 I know with this lighter frame and a hired 100lbs rider I know I can get under 10 seconds easily.
Back in her glory days
how I picked it up
wheels, minus the tire, going to run a slick in back
I still have to finish rebuilding my helix, then I'm going to start on this project. taking suggestions on radiator options and placement

Re: RT powered *SGT SPREE*
like I said this was going to be a slow one haha, got both wheels in hand now, still waiting on the drum hub as i accidentally got sent a disk hub. Dont need big brakes only going in a straight line Next on the list is a ruckus triple tree and then figuring how what radiator to use and where to place it. still like the idea of using a GET rad or two.

older pic but CVT side.
i found the PERFECT candidate for the ruckus too. a zuma 50 missing the top end, shrouds, exhaust and rear wheel. * PERFECT and for a screaming good deal. this is slowly happening.

I'm so glad that engines going in a lighter Fram with a normal size rim. Also glad to see she's still alive and well!

Ordered another stage6 clutch, going to try the super soft contra and work up from there. basically redo my clutch tuning. see if i cant get this clutch fade and destruction of pads to stop.
