Normally I agree with Killerdwarf, but not on this project. I'm truly cutting up nothing that is worth anything to a restorer. I started with one bent and title-less frame, one titled broken frame, two engines, a good tank, rust and torn seat and a few worn and pitted forks, a dented and rusted pipe, plus a miscellaneous parts box.
I have a nice, stock, complete 1969 CL350 Scrambler that will never be cafed. This 400F just wasn't a restoration candidate.
My engine and carbs are now beautiful, but my frame will never be, and that's why I don't have a problem with cutting off stuff that I'm not going to use. My tank will be restored and painted. The seat pan will be re-covered. Anything that is good enough to be restored will be, and everything else will be improvised/custom.
Sorry for not posting pics as promised. I was busy getting tools for installing my new tapered bearings last night. I'm currently assembling the bike so I know I have everything I need, and that it will fit, then I'll tear it back down, send the frame off to powder coat and work on cleaning up the nuts and bolts.
