A Monday, but a good one - lots more cutting and welding (but mostly just cutting). Jake picked up a straight "drag" bar to replace the goofy stock ones. The top tube is removed and some temporary brackets are tacked in place. A good 10" of the rear section of the frame is hacked off to make room for a tire. The idea is to get this bike relatively low to the ground. Most of the rear section is removed in preparation to extend the swingarm 6", including all the brackets for rear footpegs.
