rear sub frame question

Poseidon said:

I am looking to turn my rocket into a bobber and want to get rid of the rear fender entirely leaving just the single seat.
I will be wanting to cut off the rear sub frame just behind the rear shocks, has anyone done this?
Will it weaken the frame? it has a bar that runs between the rear shocks which seams to be where the strength comes from, i can't see that it would weaken the frame but welcome your thoughts.

Find attached a couple of pictures to show you what i mean

Not to mention going through any wet will result in a dark stripe up the back side.

The things we do for love. <sigh>

Good luck though, follow your dream.

Nothing worse than running shorty fenders on any road bike as the whole bike and rider end up covered in everything you ride over in your travels WHAT A F---kin mess
