Removing the frame upper rails

SumpMagnet:
I am seriously contemplating doing this mod inn order to make working on the CB750 project a little easier, and to facilitate building the motor in situ, as well as potentially having to go back in to work on areas like the cam carriers...which I will have to fit less 'shiny' ones than I would like to begin with.

I have been frankly struggling with the project, not from the desire to get it done, but rather from a string of health issues, and arthritis. Displaced meniscus....ligament issues, and I am now potentillay looking at surgery to try and resolve this stuff.

So, I want to consider the options.

Carpys do a kit ...$139 plus postage, VAT etc.
Gordon's Mod .... $189 plus ransom demands and postage. Website is a little hard to navigate, so would probably need to e-mail to resolve.

Are there any options I missed?

Is there ANY supplier in the UK ?

I have a welder to install, as my little MIG set probably isn;t up to the job. So I would just tack the bits in place, then get a better welder than me to do the final job.

Did the Carpys mod on my F2 but without paying the silly money for his 3 tube kit. Basically made it myself. Been in use for 10 years now with no problems. Will see if I can find the photo's over the weekend. May be awkward as I'm in hospital at the moment.

Sorry don't have the photos here and I won't be getting home for at least 2 weeks.

Looking at this and noting the absence of the triangle in the finished job, I was wondering why new tubes are required.

Would it not be possible just to cut and shorten the existing tubes, fit the ends in and put it back together with the triangle still in place?
