Good work, when you sprayed the plastics did you rattle can it or use a legit sprayer? I was thinking about throwing on some plasti-dip in a couple areas but unsure if it would stick...

Josh, doesn't his hybrid look frigin' cool? Like as in "toto awesome-ness?" I love it! And those L E Deez!
(Psst....Josh, if you thought his bike was part white,...it's Not. It's really light gray. He says, he would never go white. Ha! Story has it that local markets were fresh outta white. So, Das really settled. No need to make him feel bad about it, and I choose Not to rub it in, so I just keep re-saying,
"How Cool Is That!!" (Get my drift? Praise the Mantis!)
Das Rocks!!!

First of all I like what you have accomplished
The seat bracket-I see all kinds of after market stuff- moly tubing -OK to weld?
did you use the lowering one?
and what seat height did you achieve?

Thanks,
I used a stock ruckus seat frame, a lowering one or just tubing would also work, because I only used about half of the seat frame.
Seat height is currently at 28.5 inches(lowest point of the "saddle" with taller tires/stock suspension).
I also carved out some of the plastic seat pan to sit lower/trimmed the rear of the seat edge(the seat does not open and close like a stock ruckus, it is fixed).
If you wanted the seat more forward you could easily go even lower without making major frame(pcx) mods.
I first took the measurements I liked from my gy6/ruckus and went from there...
