A real newbie from Wisconsin

#1
When I say a "real" newbie, I am meaning that I have made it 65 years and have not owned a mini bike (I don't even remember any of my friends owning one). My son has always wanted one and now he has bought a basket case and we are attempting to bring it back to life. The main issue we are having is that we aren't sure what kind it is. We were told that it is a Sears Roper and from my research it appears to be close, but not really the same. Everything is chrome (even the 6" rear wheel that we got with it), but the rear suspension is on the seat rather than a swing arm. The front fork has springs and is badly rusted and twisted up so we would like to replace it, but need to know what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... mini bike.jpg
