Black Widow

ok thanks

Buy it,they are the pride of the rupps.If you need new rims,rupp joe has them made now and then.

 

[jesse8931]

it has the rims and there in good shape. ill most liklely just sell the bike

 

[Ruppster81]

I'd be interested in it, Got any pics of it?

 

[jesse8931]

not yet ive gotta go pic it up

 

[jesse8931]

well iam not to sure now if it is a black widow the guy said it was but can you guys tell me what it is ?

 

[Ruppster81]

If the black on the frame is original and it does have the correct 71' rear sprocket, It could be a black widow but the one thing that that throws it off is that it has the reflector brackets where the shock mounts are and the black widow never had those.

 

[den35]

It may still be a black widow,even with reflector brackets,if it was originally sold in Canada.Regulations up here demand such bikes have reflectors,so importers often put them on themselves to make them legally sellable.

Too bad there's no way to track a bikes history.What a story some would have to tell.

 

[jesse8931]

ok any idea what it could be ?

 

[INJUNTOM]

It be having too big of wheels

 

[jesse8931]

so could it be a roadster ?

 

[jesse8931]

if any one wants it or parts from it let me know

 

[jesse8931]

ok i think its a roadster 2. but i think if i can get this 3hp briggs to run ill use this bike as my pit bike

 

[smallbikes88]

that is a roadster 2 the red rear fender kind of gives it away, and you need a colmet style clutch the run on the engine. The belt pully wont cut it!

 

[jesse8931]

the pully should work for now till i can replace it and if it does ill use the bike for a pit bike

 

[smallbikes88]

you should have seen the mint restored black widow they gave away at windber this year! ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyy!!!!! The guy who won it wasnt even there but now he has to fihure out how to get from minisota to windber PA to pick it up.
