| Registering a bike in NY is a p.i.t.a, if it doesn't already have a title forget it. Therefore I have retained the original neck to go with the title I have. I started by cutting off the parts I didn't care for. That pretty much left the rear swingarm, swing arm pivot and engine mounts. From there I started cutting and bending tubing. I used .120" wall hot roled steel. My lower tubes are 1 inch the backbone is 1.5". I started at the back in order to keep things straight on the way to the front. I tacked everything together to check squareness and fit. This led to remaking a couple tubes and realigning but thats why I tacked it up. I suggest putting a gusset in at the neck. I put one in but dont have a picture yet. | ||||||||||||
