I'm not going to be working on the bike again for a while so will have a good think. May even re work the rear hoop with a steeper angle to give more clearance

Been super busy with work over the last few months and also bought and moved into a new house. Finally got a decent sized garage/workshop to use.
Decided to rework the rear hoop so bought a welder, learnt how to use it and did this this morning:
starting point-
First thing I've welded in anger and pretty happy how its turned out. Should give the clearance i need at the back end.
Just need the rear mudguard bracket and it can get powdercoated.
Whats the best way to remove the frame/ model no. plaque thats riveted on? drill it out?

Very nice handy work, and welcome back. You need to watch how you remove the vin plate, it's soft alloy plate, I think the rivets are brass?, it's also glued on the back. I just levered mine off with care, but it still split at the ends, but it's ok. Just stuck it back on using arodite.
What's next fender?.
Been off a while also, had to have a break away from the bike as it was doing my head in and started to hate it. But back on it now so get it finished.
Good luck, if you have any Q's fire away.

Cheers bud, my first time welding anything other than runnin beads on a steel sheet, can't believe I payed a professional welder £130 to weld the original hoop on (that I provided!). My welder cost £150 and now I've added another string to my bow.
Just to clarify about the vin plate, are you saying you levered it off without drilling the rivets out first?
