Is that a donor steering neck or are you going to weld it back on the frame ? If so please include some pics of how you jig it back on. Or did you set up jig before you cut it off ? I have an idea on how it's done but would really like to see it done !

I'd weld plates inside each flat.
Two on the frame, two on the headstock, drill and screw. Square it up,  Weld.

It's kind of a donor.  Smokin Blue had a wrecked Savage frame from his last build.  He traded it to me for future work on welding and tank fab so I could keep my Savage on the road during the fork build.  That way I can road test the fork on my Savage hopefully before winter arrives.  Once the fork is road tested and winter set in my Savage frame gets chopped to essentially get the neck to preserve the VIN and motor serial on my title.  It will get set in a rotisserie frame I built for my first bike project.  See pics of the rotisserie below.

Headlight mounting is going to be interesting.
I sure he has it already figured out.

Capped the fork tubes tonite.  Cut a 16 gage disc and put a dome shape in it with a ball peen hammer then weld and blend smooth.

Brake mounting lug next.
