    Hi What size are the dress up hardware bolts?

    • @WideOpenThrottle
      @WideOpenThrottle  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I honestly don’t remember. I bought these from Amazon years ago and have since changed them all out with FLP dress up hardware. Don’t cheap out buy the good stuff. The cheap stuff the bolts break and Allen screws strip easily.

    I have pegs on mine (they came on the scooter) however I find myself having my feet in front of me more often than not. I rode a Harley with forward controls for the longest time so maybe that's why.

      Hey what’s up. I don’t know of any shops in NJ that do custom work. Everything that’s done to my bike I did myself. Unfortunately I do not have time to work on these as a customer base. Your best bet is to ask on Facebook Honda ruckus group if anyone in there knows any place in NJ. Someone may. Thanks 🙏 for subscribing

      No, that’s actually vinyl. I did it myself. I removed it not too long ago, the bike is all white now. Planning on doing a different color scheme.
