Bit the bullet last night ... chopped the rear end of the frame and cut off the side panel and battery tray mountings fro the frame mid section.....it's no return now. Now need to weld the hoop on, make a flat plate to go on top of the hoop and cut out the rear section of the seat base to make space for the battery and electrics under the seat hump.

This will be a year round road going bike, so I need a rear mudguard to stop all the road crap from firing strtaight at my air intake. Bought a 6 inch steel universal job to cut and fit .... dont like it now, it's tooo wide and ugly. See photo 1, the blue cloth covers the part I had intended to chop off. Second photo shows and alternative solution using the chrome part of the stock rear mudguard. This would need a bit of cutting & modification too. Its not much prettier that the 6 inch steel job (photo 2). Plan C is to buy a 5 inch universal stainless mudguard and cut it. (later ... plan C was the end result.. see phots in later posts)
