I did think about disassembly, cut and weld. It has it's advantages, and there are those who will say you have to cut it to make it a chopper, but it also is a major commitment of time and energy. It would certainly be more viable if I had another ride. Also though I can weld and have a tig machine, not sure if I would trust my skills on my frame, so I would need to farm that out.
There is a mod out there where, the impression I got from the threads, is the person just put longer tubes in and raised the front end, though I wouldn't want to effect the level of the bike. Like mentioned there was also a passing discussion that you can substitute new trees from another model, I think Highway Hawk is the company that will actually sell you new trees to do that. Apparently though it's not a straight up, bolt on mod, so they don't list the trees as fittting an LS650 or S40, though the interface of the trees to frame is apparently the same.
At this point though, that's probably a better discussion for Rubber Side Down. Having 4 surgeries in 3 months hope you are alright, just this one has kicked my butt.
