“Bobbing” a motorcycle is the process of taking off anything and everything that adds weight, complicates stuff, or looks wrong. Wikipedia Bobber

Today I whipped out the hacksaw and went to town. Not too extreme, but enough so that there’s none of the superfluous bits hanging around any more.

I was going to run the angle grinder over the cuts, but remembered that the road rules say quite clearly that no heat is to be applied to the frame at any stage. Better safe than sorry.
