It's almost too simple... voilà!
One nice thing about the location is that it doesn't interfere with the seat latch that comes OEM with the Ruckus.
A simple loop of steel cable fastened by two terminal crimps provide a quick and easy way of securing the seat to the built-in helmet lock.
It took me some time to determine the best location for such a beast.
The length of the cable is critical for the mechanism to work properly, so I recomend making a few different lengths and try each one for fit.
Fasten the assembly via the inside of the user manual compartment using a good size pop-rivet WITH a backing washer for support; fastening from the inside will seat the rivet flush to the wall, that way your scooter manual will fit back into place.
Works like a charm!
I was looking for the same info about virtually identical & finally i got my answer from your post thanks for sharing this useful info.

Life should be open sourced... just like LINUX!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could be of help!
This is great! What length is yours? I figure I'll get a hardware store to help me with this--get them to pre-cut and add the terminal crimps for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, this is exactly what I was looking for and all of the other Google results were for relocating the helmet lock to a lowered seat.
Thanks for the info!!!
ReplyDeleteI modified your idea a little and used a nut and bolt instead of a pop-rivet.
Works great!
