Hi, New Rupp owner

[manta71]

Hi, my name is Mike. Im a new member. Looks like you guys have a really cool site. I haven't had a mini bike in 30+ years. Im into the Schwinn Banana seat bikes. I Couldn't Pass up this spray bombed Rupp. It Needs almost everything. The tank has issues, the seat needs to be recovered, the brakes are gone. The front rim is missing a piece. Some one added a rubb brake. It has an old Honda motor. If i quit now and parted it out i would make a few bucks, but what kind of fun is that. I guess its a 1968 XL350 or XL500 because it looks like it HAD front and rear disc brakes. How can i tell what what model it is? Thanks for the info, mike.

Welcome aboard. I would say it is about 1968-69 or so. Under the seat is a plate with a number that should track down the year. Try e-mailing this guy RuppBikes.Com Home Page
I just got a 1966
