Greetings and salutations. New(ish) to this forum, so please pardon any stupid.
I picked up a "complete" 75 cl360 a few weeks ago; the intervening weeks have been spent cataloging just how much stuff is missing from this "complete" bike. Build thread to come when I get up more steam.
In the interim, a question about welding a replacement hoop to my frame. PO ground off pretty much everything, including the tail. I have an extra stock hoop (on the CL360's they were removable, I believe). The tubing is a smaller OD than the rear frame tubing, 0.75" vs 1.00". Is it feasible to use this hoop to frame up the seat pan? Or is that a lot of stupid?
I'm planning to get help from a welder friend with any frame work, but he's not a moto guy. Is there some kind of reducer/coupler I could include? Or should we just fab a new hoop out of 1.00" tubing?
Thanks for any advice.
