I bought a 1972 Rupp Roadster2 today. It is a project bike... not a ready to ride specimen.
It has a head light on it but no tail light. I don't know if the headlight was just bolted on for looks by someone or if it came with it. There aren't any handle bar switches either.
Is there a serial number anywhere I can look for and possibly trace to see what the bike originally had on it?
Currently it has a white HS 40 on it but no lighting coil. I got a black H35 that came with the deal that has a Rupp sticker on the pull start shroud but no lighting coil. It has a 3" crank shaft snout.
Did all Roadster2's have lights?
I can list the serial numbers from the engines no problem but don't know where to look for frame serial numbers.
Any and all input would be appreciated.

Update: It may not be a 72. It looks like it had a green frame that someone painted black...
