....I quess I forgot to mention the bicycle sissybar I bought for $15.00
and cut up, bent, drilled, and have nearly mounted on my Slingshot.
(These are currently sold at local Swapmeets)


...............................................................I'm not bothered by the bicycle seat holes I plugged.



...A few adjustments and I'm happy.

....It's got the gastank mounts, so it must be a valuable one.


I'm not a Rupp Guy, so I don't know.


........Now if I could just remember who was looking for these Clinton pipes:

Looks like a 68/69 Sprint/Digger frame, just got one a couple of weeks ago..... From what I've learned on mine, only difference from the factory was the motor so once it's been picked over to bare frame, you can't really tell....



Unless the top tubes go out past the neck tube, which isn't visible in your pic, then it's a C350.

A bit out of focus, but you get the idea.
Got the guy down from $175 to $140.
Go Powers........Oh Yeah !
