I understand what your saying now Casey...but essentially the Slingshot was out before before they added the "R" designation (regardless if it was 71' or 72' haven't seen solid proof)
Yes...you are 100% correct in the rake difference and tire size between a Slingshot and the R3501. (the earlier 350SS as well)
I'll take a look at the rake difference for myself between earlier and later models Cats....i'm not convinced

Alright....enough bickering from me...:laugh:

I never typed anything to do with early vs late Slingshots.
Just a comparison with the R3501.
I don't have one, so I can't measure if the 01 is the same wheel base.
I don't think your bickering. Just everyone trying to understand each other on forums thru typing is difficult.
Btw. I found a box for the Duster. I'll pm about shipping.
From what I can tell the first 2 numbers indicate the year, so yours is a 1970.
I have 6 cat frames and they all line up with the years i believe them to be. 1969 Cats start with a 9. I have two '69 Cats that both start with a 9. two '70s that both start with 70. a '71 that starts with 71, and a '72 that starts with a 72.

Most of the time manufactures put serial #s on thier items for Quality control, so it makes since these minibikes would have some type of serial #s to track when it was made.. could the other #s be the model #s?...What we did on the Murray bicycles is start a list of the serial #s and make & model of bicycle it was..it didn't take long to see similarities in the #s, and now we can tell just by the serial # what year the bike was made, what model it was, how many gears it had, and the store it was sold through..so these #s can be a wealth of information..
