Do these forks look bent?

Do the forks look bent? Is it a Lil Indian? Should I buy it? :laugh:

It is a Ruttman...and yes they are slightly bent.

 

[Not so mini bike]

Looks like they are bent in a couple places.

Wavy like a snake, harder to straighten but not impossible.

Easy to straighten but the purist might not like the way I do it. One single cut.........

Is it supposed to have a clutch brake? I don't see anything on the rear wheel...

 

[cheezy1]

Should have a clutch brake...totally wrong motor....it should have the 4 holes for mounting a bracket on the side cover.

Thanks cheezy!

 

[cheezy1]

You are welcome Sir. If you buy it...and have any questions...just ask me.

The wheels are what made me think Lil Indian at first

 

[OND]

I don't think they ever came on Ruttmans...but cheezy knows more than me. But those are a nice set of wheels and are aluminum and should clean up nice...with about 8 hours of polishing ! :laugh:

My Sabre with the same wheels.

Or you could send them to me and I would happily glass bead blast them(free of charge just pay shipping both ways)and ship them back, then polishing them would only take about an hour :thumbsup:

Ya...they came on Ruttmans in the late 70s. Cost cutting to just get them from Lil Indian or something like that. They also started using their kick stands also.
