999 Cutting Up The Sub Frame

Yes but it will be labour intensive. And you'll need a good file.
I did post some photos on a thread. But can't remember which one.

 

Easy peesy. Grinder with cutting disc and grinding disc. Offer up mono piece. Mark, cut, grind smooth, then powder coat. Done.

 

+ sanding disc

 

CR, I have a grinder and slitting discs you can borrow? Very thin cutting discs that cut very easy...
You have to be careful not to bend them cutting.

I'd like to see where your 996 Showa forks are in the top yoke, also would you be prepared to lend me a Ducati ride height tool if you have one... I can provide proof of address and sign for it

 

I can pop down? I have to meet the accountant this morning but I might be free this afternoon, tomorrow perhaps of Sunday... have to check my diary. I can grab some bits from my workshop, not sure what I have in stock at the moment.

Cutting with a grinder is fine, just get some scrap as you say... put it in a vice and get comfortable , as in body position. Keep steady.

Personally I would not use a grinding disc to finish, ok for shaping but not for finishing (unless it's ends of tube) deep lines can show through paint.

As above sanding discs... but if it is tube of box section you are working with, you might be able to just file and hand sand with a few different grits...

 

we are talking grindette here,, 5", not 9" ( unless you are well experienced ) and gloves

 

Cr I posted these on an earlier thread, hopefully they give an idea of a possible bip sub frame mod

 

Could more come off than that? Looks like you could have shifted some more metal there mate. Hows does it look when all bolted up with the tail?

 

Found these two pictures.

 

Ah. Those are the pics of my subframe. I couldn't remember which thread they were posted on.

 

Bluey, here it is
