Cutting the Frame...How Important are those?! was created by SuperMoto
So I have a 79 KZ750 Twin that the previous owner had already started to cut up. I want to cut farther into the frame. Closer to where the rear shock supports actually mount. Is this safe or just a really bad idea? I want to make it into a short single seat and give the look of my rear wheel kind of free floating all by its lonesome. I attached a photo with a line showing the area I want to have the frame stop in. Any input would rock. Thanks guys!

The area behind shock mount is only supporting rear seat/fender area,make sure to tie both sides of frame back together after removing rear rear hoop. :)

I planned on making a nice simple yet tasteful hoop to cover the rear. Also had some ideas about incorporating the tail light into the seat. Ever seen that done?

Will not hurt the frame at all to cut back to there. Just don't start cutting into the shock gusseting.
