best way to cut up a frame?

[niggalai]

hey all,

im getting close to finishing up my new seat. i made it so that it would fit snugly over the frame. however it wont fit with all the excess frame parts that are on there now. (seat locking mechanism, rear fender mount holes, seat hinge etc) would i be better off taking these smaller parts off of my frame with an angle grinder or a reciprocating saw or something else?

thanks.

Well hell boy show us some pictures!!! it is cold here and we are bored.

I would make darned sure the bits could be safely removed then hit em with a grinder.

Saw may work well for tight spots but I love a spark shower.

To answer the question...
Make it a Harley or an L model and I won't even care where you start.

For more show of sparks, a cutting torch works quite well!
Personally, I don't have one so I use an angle grinder for most of my cutting needs or my Sawzall.

C4 works well

Kind of what Ranger claimed to have done with his 700.

Yup, angle grinder with a cut-off wheel, then clean it up with a flap disc. Just be careful you don't slip and go too deep, better to leave yourself some extra work with the flap disk than to gouge a hole in the frame. Mask or remove anything you don't want to have burned in rust speckles on later.

Sawzall with diamond blades.

Or i'd dismount my table chop saw and make a portable 14" chop saw!

It is very popular to do the cutting before you concern yourself with making it run properly.

dremel with cutting disc is a nice clean cut,
