They've cut a scary amount of frame away to get the turbo and carb in!

That'll be a stress point for sure.

Naaah, yer alright.
That frame cutout worries me and to my eyes Slabbies are the hunchbacked inbred of the Suzuki lineup.
No doubt they shook the bike industry up in 85 when they came out but I have hidden shallows and just can't see past the looks.
Massive long swingarm and a frame that someone has attacked with a plumbers holesaw aren't helping it for me.

Its tidy enough but just doesn't tick any of my boxes.

Was whoever cut and "welded" the frame partially sighted?

Other people's thought processes baffle me sometimes :D

Then weld it up without a long enough postpurge on the sheilding gas so theres masses of porosity at the weld stop.
Or at least I think that was the direction of travel.
Could also have been they didn't purge the aluminium tubes, still porosity though.

To be fair to em, with a cutout like that, the substandard welding isnt really the biggest issue.

Scary!!!
Solve the engineering problem of carb location, nah fuck it - we'll just cut a chunk out of the frame.

200mph on that = big balls or a level of stupidity, I suspect the latter.

I'm out.
