I would use a piece of stiff cardboard to make a template of were the mounting holes on the engine are. You may need to weld a plate to the Taco frame and then drill holes were the engine will mount. It can be done fairly easily.

Looks about as good as it did before it was crashed. Now I got to keep it in one piece. No more inexperienced riders.

I didn't see it. I only seen the results of the carnage and heard an eye witness description from his other cousin who was riding the Doodlebeast (Predator 212cc powered DB30) of how he Supermanned the bike and how it tossed him.

Finish painting the rear fender and it lines up every bit as good as it did before the wheelie over. I will not be letting any novices ride any more because it took me quite a bit of work and I had to find time in my busy schedule to repair it.

An OHV Honda gx160 will still have more power than an HS40. A built gx200 will be a monster Like my Predator with billet rod and flywheel and Mikuni carburetor. I have a Suzuki K10 Motorcycle fork on my bike. It actually has about 5 inches of true oil dampened suspension and weighs at least...

I riden mine a fair amount and the frame is holding up well. The only thing that wrecked it so far is my wife's nephew who wheelied it over. Now that was some damage.

I see you extended the length of your rear swingarm. Does that help in keeping the front wheel down?

It's hard to get the old one out. I used a propane torch and burned it out.

I put in a nylon bushing from Blackwidowmotorsports.net. It is tons better than the rubber stock one which was dry rotted. http://blackwidowmotorsports.net/_17292a_is_the_new_swing_arm_bushing_1971_75.html

Got Everything lined up nicely. Unfortunately I enlarged the original tailight holes when trying to come up for a solution to deal with the curled up and over seat pan. I decided to put some small fender washers in with JB weld 5020lbs strength adhesive. It should hopefully hold up well and I...

This is why you don't let newbies ride your stupidly overpowered Rupp. While I was able to get the seat pan and fender line up however when I was centering the rear wheel in the swing arm it seems like the swing arm was shifted towards the right maybe be about 1/8 to a quarter of an inch. I...

Interesting that you leveled your Predator 212cc. I have a Predator 212cc powered Rupp Roadster 2 and the engine runs great while tilted on the Rupp. I needed to make a custom intake manifold.

I will be putting on a Rupp luggage rack and I found the information on were to drill the holes on this brochure. Looking at the brochure it appears that the luggage rack is mounted on the inside of the seat pan. I will use rounded screws with a ressesed hex head to install it.
