Custom Ruckus: The LV Project

Here at ScooterFile, we’re big fans of custom scooters and especially the custom Ruckus scene. We’ve featured a couple of these bikes in the past, and now they’re showing up more and more. This latest example, The LV Project, is from builder James Wong and it’s all over the web today.

Wandering around Vimeo, we found this video featuring Honda Ruckus customizers Standard Function. Customizing Honda’s bare little 50cc has been popular for a good decade now, with a scene stretching across the ocean to the bike’s native Japan.
