how do you cut the back of the frame off that sticks out. I wanted to cut it off and fit turn signals in the frame. didnt know how hard it was to cut.

it's just mild steel, you can cut it with a hacksaw.  Just make sure and leave the brace that goes from one side of the frame to the other.  It holds the rear of the frame and the shocks into position.
