i'm in mountain home arkansas now... and i don't have a bike yet. i missed my chance by dragging my feet on a 77 xs650 roller. i will have one soon thats why i want to pay attention to this build because i can watch it from the start

well more like south east, but who cares ha

Dumb question coming from someone who hasn't yet learned much in regards to fabrication, but don't you have to jig the frame when you cut it like that? To ensure that it's straight when you weld on the hardtail?

Thanks for clarifying,
Adam

They say its smart too, I didnt and i havent had a problem.. and im sure many people havent without a problem. But its always smart to be safe rather than sorry. I learned about doing that after I had already cut my frame. Guess i got lucky!
