Ruttman Hot Rod

#1
Here is my chrome Ruttman frame that I have not had a design for.. Now I have a design.. The 5hp Briggs has been a work in progress. It was a good tiller motor that was disassembled. Head work was done including eyebrows removed, porting, values lapped, and dual racing springs installed. The bore was fine and the original piston was used. An ARC billet rod was installed and a Raptor cam. The case cover is new so I could bolt up at TAV. My design is to have it a vintage race bike. Something that could have been built in the 60s... I located an original Comet TAV from a fellow member..

Cool...can't go wrong with a Ruttman build. Just make sure you have a functioning brake set up or an idea before you get too far into it. I did one 7-8 years ago...it will command your respect...if not you will be laying on your back like a turtle...lol

Nice:thumbsup:...I didn't have brakes for a few months on mine...because I really didn't think that far ahead..lol. I ended up with the Manco drum and external brake band on opposite side of sprocket. It didn't work so good needles to say.:laugh:
