In addition to the main frame I also did the following tonight:

sandblasting

ultrasonic cleaning of the part

priming with aluminium primer

more paint work

The job this weekend: Sand blasting and paint work of the side and center stand:

The goal for this weekend is to finish off the sand blasting of the frame. In addition I did the sand blasting of the switches. I might do the paint work of the switches tomorrow.

nice winter project, removal off rust and old paint.

In spite of all the warnings I have done the cut off. Please see the pictures before and after. The swingarm is also sandblasted to add a better grip for the paint.

The left picture where the swingarm is marked with a tape is before the cut off and the other one with tape is after the “crime”

Due to unoriginal weels there is almost no clearence to the swinging arm. Can I cut off about 6-7 mm on each side without doing any harm ?

Piece of cake, the engine is out of the frame:
