Somehow I've managed to collect a few Ropers. This one had some serious high-speed forks and the neck plate was pretty messed-up.
I decided to extend the swing arm 4 1/2" and cut the neck apart and add some rake.
I had another front end and some 8" wheels and tires.
I had a Raptor and a Tillotson carburetor on the shelf.
Finally, I had a NOS Roper tank and a new seat. I like it a lot so far.
All my Ropers seem to have different neck angles. I think I might fix that.
