85 aero ruckus variator install

[Kevinstonge]

I just wanted to post a couple of pics on what needed to be shaved from the case in order for a ruckus variator to fit nicely. Really the only shaving necessary was on the starter bendix cover, but I took a little material off of the actual case as well for extra piece of mind.

Really nice job on that trimming its really pro looking too bad the rest of the world doesn't get to see how nice it looks every day

Wow, I did not know it would fit on there. Did you have to use the aero drive boss? Good work

[Kevinstonge]

Thanks guys. Yup, aero drive boss. The ruck boss has a larger inside diameter and is loose on the crankshaft.

Agreed on the skillful workmanship. I'd forgotten how different that part of the '85 case is compared to the '86-'87 and SE50. Installation into those blocks requires less shaving.

Thanks wheelman. Do you know what exactly needs to be shaven on the 86-87 and se50 case?

Same area, really. It's just not so much of it. ScooterWerx once posted he bolted his right on his 1986(?) without shaving at all. I had to do a little on my '86 and '87, but it didn't look nearly as clean as yours.
