It would take someone skilled even longer to  make that frame right again.
If it works good, it looks good...

Just spent 24 hours labor re-tabbing a 650 that had been brutally de-tabbed and that did not include welding and painting.  If it had been mine, it would be a parts bike.  The customer apparently has more money than common sense because you could have bought a whole 'nother 650 for what he is spending to make this one a useable motorcycle.  I guess that is commendable, as are your efforts to save this one.  I just hate seeing them get chopped up.  I know this frame was wrecked before you got it and you are trying to make something that you like.

Your opinion of right and mine are obviously different.
It's an inherited cafe racer project that's been sitting for 10 years and there as a lot of prep to do.
I've removed things I don't need. I'm using Carpy's under seat oil tank.
