Here for my 2nd post is a scooter build I did this spring. Lots of fab work. Only two parts were purchased for this project, everything else was either re-used or fabricated from raw material. I started with a non running Honda Ruckus & stripped it down to just the frame as that is all I was going to use. I would be swapping in a Yamaha Zuma 125 motor and anything I could re-use of that scoot...
Enjoy!
Picked up this non-running Honda Ruckus to have my way with.

i like the front end off the z125 and wanted to see how hard it would be to swap it over to the ruck as the honda is all girlie and I am all old and manly:

and then some grinding and some press love, the z125 was not at all friendly but the Ruck said pop when it just saw the press:

since the Ruckus stem is much smaller, I had to add some weld to it:

and then some more:

then some lathe love to get it back down to the correct size to the z125 lower triple:

pressed it back in and a little weld, and I am all manly again:
