NORMAL PRICING (AFTER BETA TEST): $480.
WE ARE CURRENTLY OFFERING THE KIT FOR BETA TESTING AT THE PRICE OF $242. PLEASE READ BELOW.

Lead time on BETA kits is currently 1 - 1.5 weeks. We'll also need measurements of the shock you will be using, in order to custom make a shock extension for your exact needs.

We're almost finished with the R&D stage on our Heavy Duty GY6 mount, all that is left is to hear from YOU! To participate in the BETA test, we ask that you provide us with feedback regarding your experience with the mount. After sale we will email you a feedback form and we ask that you email it back to us when you are done with your swap. We may contact you periodically to get updates on your satisfaction with the kit. If you are curious, yes, our Lifetime Guarantee (read below) applies to BETA test units as well.



INTRODUCING the:
BDX HEAVY DUTY GY6 ENGINE MOUNT KIT for Honda Ruckus NPS50
We've got a lot to say about our mount. If you've got a minute, please be sure to read the full listing!

BDX LIFETIME GAURANTEE :: NO-BREAK, NO-BEND, NO-TWEAK
We guarantee that your mount will remain straight and will not bend, break or tweak over time, or we will replace it free of charge. This guarantee isn't just limited to the life of your Ruckus, it is good for your lifetime, and my lifetime too. If a part has the BDX designation in its name, we support it for good.
If you're new to BD products, you should know that we've always had this lifetime policy with our Heavy Duty parts for other vehicles; our point is to engineer BDX specialty parts against failure in every conceivable area. We've been making heavy duty parts for GY6 vehicles since 2005.

Parts included:
- BDX HD GY6 Mount Bracket Assembly for Honda Ruckus NPS50
- Inline shock extension, built to custom length based on the length of whatever shock you'll be using.
- 5/8" GRADE 8 frame mounting bolts.

Safety features:
- Super beefy 5/8" [GRADE 8] Frame mounting bolts. We consider the use of bigger frame bolts a mandatory step when swapping to GY6 . Our attachment bolts are massive (over 60% thicker) compared to the stock bolts that other mount makers are getting by with (See our notes on this below).
- Super beefy 5/8" [GRADE 8] Vibration bar mounts. That's right, we're using the same GRADE 8 bolts to secure our vibration bars. Strength at the vibration bar is critical to resisting tweaking and breakage over time.... if the vibe bar ever breaks away at speed, it's needless to say that the rider would be forced to calm an upset chassis and get it under control very quickly.
- Triple brace design. The bracing design is critical to how the mount handles loads in every direction, and a lot of thought has been put into the bracing of our mount. This is talked about in detail below.
- Proper metal usage. You want rigidity in the design, but flexibility in the metal itself. Sound contradictory? Check the rest of the writing below for an entire section on what we consider proper metal for GY6 mounts. Still a little confused? Just read our Guarantee again and note our level of confidence and support in the strength of this mount!
- Proper engine angle! This is critical to keeping the engine oil inside of the crankcase where it belongs! Other mounts place the front of the engine at too low of an angle, which causes oil to spew out of the vent at the valve cover. We consider this a safety feature because it prevents premature engine failure from causing your wallet a heart attack!
- Shock extension design. Our unique extension design is simple and effective, and eliminates forces at undesirable angles caused by other "lever arm" extension designs.

Other Design Features:
- Shock extension made to length for whatever shock you'll be using. (adjustable shock friendly)
- Polyurethane vibration bar isolation bushings made by Energy Suspension!
- Painted black (Powder coating coming soon. We can produce plain finish mounts if you'd like to do your own coating for the time being)

Getting into details; Tech talk ::
For some guys, reading the safety features and seeing the lifetime guarantee of our mount may be enough to make a decision. But if you want to know the in-depth details about what sets our mount apart from the others just keep reading below, we've got a lot to talk about!

---------------------

Engineering Peace of Mind ::
Read below for all the reasons you should be confident riding with our mount.

Triple brace design ...
Our design employs a strategic bracing design that creates a firm riding experience without sacrificing the (very important!) force absorbing flexibility properties of the metal. The front cross-brace is double reinforced 1/4" thick by 1.5" wide steel which results in a single triangular super-brace. This keeps side-loading in check (movements that will force the engine and wheel assembly to change on a pivoting angle left or right during turns), and also prevents tilt in the rear assembly. The rear cross brace is a wrap-over design constructed from beefy 3/8" thick by 1.5" wide steel, and works with the front brace to absorb twisting (torsional) forces, eliminating the possibility of tilting, and also assists with side-loading as well.

Heavy-Duty oversized mounting bolts ...
The original frame mounting bolts that come on the 50cc Ruckus are 10mm. This is fine for the stock 50cc engine, but absolutely NOT for a GY6 swap. Think about this:
GY6 swaps have over three times the engine size, more than twice the power output, and over twice the speed capability. Not only this, but the mounting arm of GY6 mounts are all roughly 3x longer than the the length of 50cc engine mount bracket, creating huge amounts of leveraging forces at the frame attachment bolts. We believe using the stock 10mm frame bolts on a 150cc swap is a dangerous design flaw. [Case in point]. We have eliminated the 10mm frame attachment and designed our mount to accept beefy 5/8" GRADE 8 Bolts. It's a simple matter of drilling out the frame bushing's inner sleeve to make it work [instructions here]. Just look at the difference!



Inline shock design ...
Our inline shock extension is made from solid 7/8" steel. The inline design acts as a simple extension between the shock absorber and the stock upper mounting point. In other words, our extension acts as if it were an actual part of the shock, in essence just making the shock longer. This is opposed to other extensions on the market that act as a "lever arm", causing multiplied forces at undesirable and unneeded angles. Why make things more complicated? It's also worthy to note that our inline design also provides a progressive rate at which ANY shock will compress, enabling a softer ride for light bumps and helps against bottoming out (bang!) on the big ones.

A word on the metals used in our mount ...
When dealing with suspension components under load, the metals you use and the overall structural design have to work together and must be carefully thought through. When dealing with high-stress, or fatigue-prone suspension parts, especially where vibration and torsional stresses are prevalent (as in the role of a GY6 mount); it is critical to use material with a certain balance between rigidity and flex. If the metal is too ridged it will fatigue and break without notice, or too soft it will bend or tweak gradually over time. Take a look at the "gangster lean" and "11 o'clock rear wheel tilts" on some of the Ruckus forums and you'll see exactly what I mean. Our mounts are made from metals with what we consider the proper balance of flex and rigidity, and our triple-brace design works with this to ensure that the mount itself has extremely limited flex.

While we are on this point; Flex in the metal, and flex in the design are two different things. Inherent rigidity in the metal is an enemy to be avoided, because it won't "roll with the punches" and absorb the stresses encountered during riding. Simply making this mount out of the most ridged material (aluminum, or overly hardened steels) we could find would be a failure on our part. We have seen this time and time again from the GY6 buggy world from seeing other manufacturer's poor choices in metal and design, and resulting failures.

If any of this seems a little confusing, just take a look at our lifetime guarantee again and know that if our mount ever bends, breaks or tweaks, WE REPLACE! That is how confident we are in our mounts and all BDX Heavy Duty parts!

Why the long-winded description?
The engine mount is ultimately what keeps the two halves of your Ruckus together, and keeps you from kissing pavement. You deserve to know the full details of what's keeping the rubber on the road where it belongs.
