Hello Minibike Friends, I am in need of a 69 Rupp Roadster kickstand. I see that Markus has offered repops in the past and that would be great as well. I am nearly complete on my rebuild and dread the idea of the minibike leaning against a wall or such after its completed. Please reach...

Hello My Minibike friends, I am in the midst of refurbishing a 1969 Rupp Roadster. I only have two parts left that I need. The kick-stand and the chain cover. I have looked at a ton of pics on here and it seems that both are a very hot commodity. If anyone has a kickstand or a chain...

That makes sense. I hadn't even thought about those. I might have some

Markus, I sent him a PM a while back also about the same topic. I am in the process right now of trying to do my own magnet placement and using my own purchased under the coil generator/alternator. Pretty sweet setup that I can have both options of AC and DC. I currently have the ability...

First off, I am not sure where the hostility came from. Thanks everyone for the input. I have often had questions about urethane coatings on plastic as well as metal and more importantly the prep work required to get not a good finish, but great finish. The responses listed by all are greatly...

The tank I need to paint is plastic and a very ugly grey.

Hello All, I am in the process of restoring a 69 and 70 Rupp Roadster. I am fortunate that the 70 roadster I bought from a Shiner and the chrome is awesome as well as the paint. The 69 I purchased with the incorrect engine, but still had the lights and switches, score. I have found a...
