New Rupp project allmost done

I just picked this bike up the week before windber and got right on it when i got back. The seat was made by ksb8ball and the handlebar clamp is a billet clamp made by x-90 rider Jim. I have alot to do still. Some of my parts are on oder. I am waiting for a headlight and clutch cover, and decals from brandt. the engine is a new 6hp tecumseh painted up like a vinateg engine. Also there is a 2 speed clutch and it will have neons under the frame.

That have a lighting coil on it? Not many that have a lighted mini show actual pictures with em on lol. Good work! and I always have favorited the 68-69 Rupps.

ok, i changed a few things. the tanklid wasnt tight and gas ruined the paint. so i stripped it and i buffed it up. I think it looks better this way, but i am still waiting on tank decals from brandt. This bike is a smooth ride nd the 2 speed clutch works great! I had never used one before and will definately use it again. Its a great set up. the seat turned out great and everything else is awsome! I love the way it turned out.

Greg,
Is this the design that you want on the new top clamp piece?
