Looks like a solid starting platform. If you are logged in, you should be able to delete any of your prior post

Hey Sandman. Thanks mate. Yeah it cleaned up alright when I got it. It’s just the post. I entered it, with nothing in it above. I click edit and it doesn’t have a delete button anywhere.?

There is a guy on one of my fb motocross pages that has done a Larry Ward replica. It tuned out wonderful. I will try to find it, and if I can, share it with you.

Sweet build i approve my older sister went to high school with him. He come over to our house and ride with us but naive little boy me had no idea he was a local mx hero back then. It wasn't until one day I was watching a super cross race on tv in like 1990 and they were talking about him. And my mom pointed it out to me.

Sent the motor to millennium technologies and gave it a bit more power. It’s now a 270. Can’t wait to see the power difference.

I also got this little gem in the mail a bit early. I have always loved the name “slingshot” for Suzuki.

That’s exactly what I like to mate. I was thinking of doing the colourful camouflage sticker design but the stock look is so good.

Swing arm and rear shock came up nice. Waiting for outer fork tubes. Hopefully they come back the correct colour 🤞🏼

Does anyone know a good fabrication company that repairs pipes? I’m in Queensland. If you have had work done their and can remember a rough price, that’s be awesome.

Old thread but is the frame on Larry's bike the OEM Suzuki blue or is it darker? It looks darker in some photos.. not quite sure what color to spray my frame.
