WTB cb550 cut frame pieces

Pretty unlikely - any hipster who's going to hack those bits off is going to throw them straight in the bin.


Do you have the seat and fender you want to fit? It's not that hard to weld some tubing on (or even a hoop) to mount your fender to.
Yeah I might have to weld something up, youre right it shouldn't be bad, but I also hope it would look right. I still have to buy a seat and fender, either on here or ebay.
 
I'm the hipster that didn't throw them out :) was keeping them for the same reasons. They are off a 74 cb550, both frame ends and the brace.

i have a hacksaw sharp blades and a donor bike where do youi want the cuts ?
my thought is a few inches behind the rear tank mount and as far down the seat stay as i can go the shipping wont be any more to speak of

i need to finish parting that turd out anyway so it was the ass kick i needed its in the landlords woodshed ,only a huderd yards yonder,where the skunks and cats fuck, next to it is a xt550 been wrecked so hard i say a prayer ever time i look at it :-\
 
i didnt forget i was over there saturday just before dark my hacksaw idea was an utter failure :-\ :-X :-[
and i should have known, but no way to make the bike rock solid equals zero efficiency with hacksaw
its coming over on my trailer and the disc cutoff wheel will save me ruinng any good 6 dollar hacksaw blades
pitchurs for proof ill have total late today gimme yer addrress please

any chance the rear mud guard has salvageable bolts in it? or if you copuld tell me the size they are so I can just pick em up from HD...the plastic rear mudguard
 
I agree. Even if you're making a cafe, why MUST you cut this area?

a guy on the swapmeet is importing replica pursang side cover screws the ticket for a vintage factory racer look and priced super reasonable,in black or zinc m6x25 i think but the head is like 20mm or 25mm diameter just slightly round crowned about a billiard ball curvature,and one straight screwdriver slot
 
its a nice section of frame rust free and straight as a die

Kinda ironic that another frame gets the rear chopped off it to save a frame from having the rear chopped off it...... :eek:
