Pretty cool. Rupp copied a 1962 Chevy Corvair concept car called the Monza. Chevy used most of the taillight idea on later Corvairs, and the used the hideaway headlights on the 63 and up Corvette stingway.

Well there is a screw driver on the other side that does something, right??? Or why would it be there... Guesses as to what is throttle and brake? :laugh:

Ah ha! Throttle blended in pretty good! Well that would be the textbook definition of homemade! :thumbsup: Looking at it reminds me of my late grandfathers homebrew attachments for his old riding craftsman. How he could come up with some of that stuff with only one good side of his body.... :smile:

It does look old but maybe it's not, hope not. I've considered a trike build with a yerf dog rear setup and shop built frame and fork, sure would be nice to thrash on and save my Healds.:thumbsup:
