look at the first 2 numbers of your model number, it should say either 20 or 22 or even 25

First two digits are 19, so I assume this is a 19 cubic inch motor?

That would be an 8 hp then!

Very cool. Now I'm inspired to restore my Rupp and Honda. Thanks for the motivation lol

Rained for a few days here over the weekend, so I spent a few hours on the old CT-70 project:



This is a nice aftermarket aluminum swing arm available from My Trail Buddy.com



Still lots of work left to do.

sweet bike i have a 424 almost identical to your 525 except the rear shocks are replaced with bars to make it a hard tail you said the original brakes were a jackshaft brake mine has a clutch brake type on the back rim and i need the brake setup wondering if you had that floating around you did a sweet job on that bike

Sorry, the brake was pretty much wasted, and was not original equipement, so it found its way into the trash a long time ago.

Lots of cheap hydraulic brake parts available on ebay though... You could probably build a really nice front and rear hydraulic brake system using cheap chinese "pit bike" parts... Or a rear dirt bike caliper & master cylinder...
