Cutting tabs off CB750 frame
« on: August 23, 2012, 10:16:24 AM »
I tried to search and find any info with no luck. I am looking for a picture or info about what tabs I can shave to clean up the frame, not plannin on using a center stand, the stock seat or the rear pegs. Thanks!!

I cut the rear peg braces, seat brackets and tabs, oil tank cover tabs, electrical cover tabs, rear fender bracket (everything behind the suspension), helmet lock, etc.  It cleans it up but you have to get creative for coverings, fender, and anything else you may have needed.  It took an afternoon, its a lot a extra steel.

The frame tubes are 1/16 thickness so do NOT use a grinder when you get close ,use a flap sanding disc for clean up. Just one nick from a grinding wheel could go through 1/2 the thickness of the frame tube in a split second.

Amen to that, I used a diamond blade.
