Project Slabside 750 begins

[p4ddy]

[quote=R1stu;582539]Can I have a go? I miss my R1, I fancied getting an RD, wanted to do it up with neon green frame and powdercoated wheels, racing reeds and drop bars![/quote]


I sold my 350LC earlier this year to my mate who recently sold it & got the slingshot. Mine was a 375 & with standard bars it wheelied like a monster

Got the engine out, just need to find the right size socket so i can remove the swinger

When it is it'll look like my Avitar

Front end on, wheels on for a pic

Got the engine in today after it's wash earlier in the week. I still think i'm going to need a new shock & i'm just waiting on a 2nd opinion from my mate. Still it's in & i can start putting other bits back on until it's together enough to see if it runs.

[p4ddy]

Got any pics of the 350?? I sold my 350 (375) to a mate who's responsible for re igniting the bike flame. I just totally love the Slabby look, especially the way the tank is high & the bars are low so you feel like your 'in' the bike rather than on it. 24yrs i've been waiting to own one.

[p4ddy]

Got the clocks, lights & switch gear on today. And i added a before & after pic of the worst part of the light
