I did it 8 times before realizing I had a cracked weld instead. bars too long. hacksaw worked for me. OMG... and sometimes I let the bike just chug out with the brakes on so it doesn't pop off, disturbing my neighbors. be well.

I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help getting Sad Savage back into running condition. This photo was taken in September of 2018.
She still had a few glitches ... like her throttle cable was too short for the handlebars that had been put on her, so tight left hand turns were a bit tricky.
It was time to stop calling her "Sad Savage" and using her christened name of "Suzi"! Sadness again when Angel decided she didn't want her any more. :'(

Last week (May 2021) he sent this photo with a note that she is now complete.
