Bowls also provided us with a few other dress-up parts to help round out the cosmetics of our Ruck. We got a set of Gallery Fresh Main Frame bolts to replace the pedestrian stock bolts. While we were at it, we got a bunch of stainless allen bolts from McMaster Carr and replaced every single bolt possible with them. We also installed a Zoomania rear axle nut, rear reflector a Daytona oil temp gauge dipstick, Kitaco alloy kickstarter, Bowls billet gas cap and a D. Bros axle puller all from Bowls. We also installed a CNC billet rear brake adjuster and braided steel brake cable from Battlescooter.

| Gallery Fresh main frame bolts look a lot tricker than the stock plain old bolts! |
 |
| Zoomania rear reflector, Battlescooter biller rear brake adjuster, stainless allens and more Password bolts clean up the rear end nicely. |
 |
| Spiffy Bowls billet gas cap looks way better than the el cheapo stamped steel stock part. |
 |
| D. Bros axle puller helps speed tire changes and looks cool to boot. |
 |
| Zoomania rear blue anodized alloy axle nut looks a lot better than the stock steel part. |
 |
| Daytona oil temperature gauge is handy for us to judge the effectiveness of our oil cooler. |
We also installed a carbon fiber chin bone brace from Mr. Shorty from the total ruckus.com forum. This brace was an awesome piece with CNC billet aluminum fittings and a real carbon tube. Surprisingly this part made a big difference in the ride and handling, smoothing out the ride and making the bike more responsive in the corners. After cutting too big of a hole in our beautiful carbon battery box, Brian Kono of Afterhours Automotive came to our rescue with a carbon reinforcement to patch the box back up. Brian also made a real cool carbon fender mount to replace the aluminum mount we had made previously and relocated the speedo to the battery box as well.

| Mr. Shorty's carbon fiber chinbone frame brace is amazingly effective. You can feel the difference in both ride comfort and handling. We messed up and cut the hole in the battery box too big. Brian Kono of Afterhours Automotive came to our rescue with this cool carbon fiber reinforcement to make our mistake look like something we did on purpose. |
