Glad to see that Genuine is keeping the 2 stroke mill in the RH.

The most exciting news of all is a potential replacement 12” rear wheel for the Rat 110...will the powers that be at ScooterWorks order enough replacement wheels?

Damn, I guess maybe I should have waited until next year to buy mine. The one I bought in September is titled as a 2015, to bad I cant even exchange it for the upgraded one! The one thing I think Genuine should have upgraded, or addressed in some form or fashion is the mirrors. All the upgrades they are doing on the Roughhouse, yet they are still going to use those mirrors with the arms so short they render themselves about useless, at least for me. It borderlines on being a major safety issue in my opinion as I can only see my upper arm and shoulders in mine without contorting my body awkwardly while riding.

^ Your not the only one. Different mirrors would be greatly appreciated.

Does the RH use 8mm thread? If so, I have a set of mirrors that might work for you...had 'em on my Rat 110 & they were very useable.

I have some stuff that I may put up on the classifieds, however please feel free to PM me before.

@Lucky

You might also try some bar end mirrors if you can find any that you like. That way they would definitely stick out further than you shoulders. The only deal would be that you'd probably have to get different grip.

@BO2S4

Ya Im pretty pumped about that as well. Depending on how long it takes for our shop to get one in, but Im probably going to order a 12" rear and then try to fit a 6.5" stretch engine mount on there haha

He SS.81, are the RH50 exhaust bracket mounting points & header pipe config basically the same as the Rat 110?

Jeesh, if you are going to the trouble to make a 2/3 rear fender, you might as well drop it down further in the back so that it actually does a complete job of keeping the mud stripe off my back.

A future upgrade idea!

Upon taking a second look at the newest RH a simple question comes to my tongue. I will lead into it with the complaint that the stock mirrors as I and others have stated really suck. Looking at the pics supplied the question is...
Where are the mirrors?

....the new RH 50 in matte black. Pick it up tomorrow.

I have lots to learn about maintenance - is there a FAQ for RH 50 owners when it comes to this stuff?
