Not stock, but original Harley 57 engine and trans. Not many can say that.

Nice putter. I've always liked rigid pans and shovels. Wide glide front end looks great on that frame.

hers what I am doing to mine. To keep me busy over the winter. Hydraulic disk braking, front suspension and open element air cleaner.

Nice looking Pan. I've built many in that style in the last 40 years. Not too many guys still run the mechanical brakes. I like that style.

Now that you say that, I can see the 10" wheels on the two center bikes. What threw me off was I knew the Scramblers had 10" rims but also knew they had no front brakes (mine and other 71s didn't) And those hubs looked like brakes. And I forgot the Scramblers only had the so-called cookie-cutter rims in 71 too. There really was a big difference in that 1/2HP motor as far as power, a friend had a Roadster and it was much faster.

I had a Rupp Roadster and with the torq convertor and the big rear sprocket, that thing could ride wheelies forever. I remember heading out on Fri nights with friends on about a dozen mibikes, tearing through the streets and avoiding the Fuzz. Of course, I now have about 6-7 Z50's and QA 50s in my garage. You never get these things out of your blood. Going to restore 2 for my kids, one for Momma and one one for me, then go have some fun

That picture brings back great memories. I have to dig out the pictures of my orange Rupp Scrambler from 1971. I believe it was a 1970 model and it cost about $250 new. It had a torque converter and that was a cool set-up. Wish I had that one still….I was 15 in ’71.

Nice Porsche, Charley….

Hmm. I may regret this.
