Ruttman

[JimmyC]

Not sure what model but I believe a Ruttman. Got it today. Has 6" mags that look pretty good. Needs the front forks straightened. Have no clue on the BS engine with the weird carb.

Yep ..looks like a Ruttman...4 spoke mags..I can't tell but could be the Lil Indian type...maybe ruttmans used the same wheels...not for sure tho. Anyway, other than the high speed forks...she looks good !

Yep cool , nor sure but those 4 spoke mags are on a lot of Ruttmans !

If the outside of the rim has a lip it is a Ruttman--no lip then it is Lil Indian.

I would say Ruttman. Whats the best way to clean them? Going to start working on it tomorrow.

If they are bad I start with a brass wire wheel on a drill then steel wool then chrome polish--time consuming but worth it!

Now What!

Late model Ruttman used the Lil Indian wheels without lip. LATE!

I'm sure the big cheezy can confirm.
