Changing Common Perceptions: Standard Functions’ fine “Maggie May”
Years ago, the scooter was held at the bottom of the “cool” list. It usually meant you couldn’t afford a car and also you probably didn’t have any girls beating down your door. In recent years though, the Honda Ruckus has changed the perception of the scooter as people have started modding them due to their affordability and availability of aftermarket parts. Now you can find Ruckus’ that are lowered, stretched and swapped with a whole array of mods.
The little lady sitting in front of you now is “Maggie May” which was built by the guys at Standard Functions (South El Monte, CA). “Maggie” not only makes you want to get out of chair and go buy a Ruckus right now but it also shows you that a scooter is now a cool option for cruising the town on a nice day. “Maggie” also features an extensive mod list covering everything from looking good to going fast.
One thing that stands out on this beauty is the massive 10×10 wheel anchored to the back of this Ruckus which gives it a great look from behind. This wasn’t just a simple throw it on job though as the guys at Standard Functions had to modify the engine mount to shove the 10×10 wheel with stretched tire under “Maggie”.
“Maggie May” is just one of many projects that Standard Functions have built lately and I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to see else rolls out of their shop for us to stare at with envy.
