Topic: K7 framework question

[Ellz10]

Simple question right to the point. I'm going for a super clean appearance and the triangles interfer with my vision. I won't be having a passenger on the bike and the Custom exhaust will be bracketed elsewhere and so my question is this:  will removing the two pieces that come to a point, on both sides, reduce the structural integrity of the frame or not?

Many Thanks,

Z

#$%* dude..you got a vision!  Why worry about structural integrity?

It will make bike more special when selling it. A smaller group of buyers.

I'm sure all rebuilt bikes are the builders dreams worth much for the builder. Another person might have another dream.

I remember how good the CB750 was when I looked for bikes and finally found my K6.

Tons of different parts to buy, rebuilding the bike. Remove stock parts and assemble the new different, or just adding parts. Bike always possible to restore back to how it looked.

I was looking for another CB750 K0-K6 frame the last years.

I found some where those triangels were removed. Nothing for me and my build plans, even if sold very cheap.

A skilled welder with a scrapped frame with good triangles can fix it.
The holes must fit exact if a future owner plan to use a stock exhaust.

It’s your bike and your cash. Go in whatever direction works for you.

Thanks for the input and that does make sense, however this will be one of my many bikes I will be passing down to my son, never to be sold (not by me anyways). I will however be holding on to the stock triangles.

Straightforward answer; thank you.

Both are very true, alas the latter is ever evident after each part I buy 😫
