Yeah I really had a problem getting that. I never really did get it so it would slide easily… Had to do a lot of tapping with a hammer but I finally got it

I’ve been working on a 1969 Rupp roadster restoration. I finally was just able to get the two speed clutch & jackshaft installed. It really kicked my butt. Hopefully that was the hardest part.

The chopper… I actually modified a Sears Drover frame at that age to have an extended fork like that. I never really was a fan of the “mini cycle “style minibikes….. no I do have a 71 Rupp project I’m going to start work on soon.

This is for removing. Already did that. I’m talking about reinstalling with new bearings. It seems impossible.

Yes they would be that close

Does anyone here have experience with installing the Rupp 2-speed clutch & jackshaft installation? I’m trying to do it now and I’m finding it to be impossible….. especially with as hard as it is to install the bearings….. which have to be installed from the inside out (due to the retaining ring...

I think my pretty original bike has the 12th one you have in the middle and not the larger one on the other end

Mine is RCB-132117-FS

I’m looking for decent set of original RUPP or Flexo grips. The original dummy grips were 5 inches long. The throttle side was four and three-quarter inches long. All the repros I can find are short.

I still don’t understand why the one way bearing is needed. The only thing I see that it does for you is allows you to manually back the bike up without all the other gears and chains turning. When the engine is driving that shit is never going to try to spin backwards I don’t get it...

I can’t understand why you can’t just have the bearings stuck in each end of the wheel. I just don’t see why the spacer is needed. They are almost impossible to get out if you want to replace them. I just went through this. I don’t ever remember the spacers being in there from years ago. I...

Here is a photo of my original….

Yes….sounds like mine. Here are photos of mine, which is original as far as I know:

I don’t see any visible snaprings

When?

I'm pretty sure Drovers only came in British racing green.....regarding originality

I think this was likely a Roper and not a Drover. None of the Drovers i've ever seen had that front seat mount.....it would have been a welded "T" tube/stem.

It's not an "original" drover......might be a later version like in the catalog photo someone posted here.....but it's likely a derivative....one of the many copies that existed. If it were an actual Sears Drover, It would have had a tall metal support for the front of the chainguard welded to...

Do you still have this?

There really is no way to know if it was originally a C-500 unless the tank still had the decals but even then there is no saying for sure. Anyone could have done anything to it. The C-500 and C-350 were the exact same bike except for the engine. It does appear to have lots of original parts...
