these old bikes are known to be flexiflyers with three back bones,you cut two out :huh: .

it is your bike and your butt,you get to do whatever you want.

i dig chops more than most (round here)but it would seem that as you obviously lack no fab skills, that you would clip that stock back bone tube out and use a piece of .120 wall 1 1/2 o.d. dom tubing.

that is the same size used on old iron head sportsters and makes tank fitment easy as that is what a bunch of tanks are made to fit.

i would also think that while you were at it that cutting the front downtubes aout and cleaning up the neck might be a worthwhile endevor as well.

kinda like this,

this is my favorite chopped,swingarm kz tho.

just throwin some ideas out there,not tryin to talk sh!t or bust chops.
i am all about building 100mph deathtraps believe me.
but i would hate for you to get done and then have a pant shitting experience and come back and go "guys why didn't you tell me these frames were built outta plumbers pipe?" :lol:

if you didn't know,now ya know.

thats my .02 fwiw,i can't wait to see what you come up with.

keep us posted,
