Thanks a bunch, I was hesitant at first to cut the frame. Mostly scared of the fitment, not having it line up right. After I made the first cut, I thought: well, if it doesn't work, I can alway buy another frame off CL.
The IRS, I wanted something different, I could've done bags over axels, or bags with a four link. I have a truck now that's bagged, straight axel in the rear. Hopefully the IRS will ride a bit smoother.
The inside of the frame I scraped as much dirt and grime off that I could, then shot it with some Rust Converter. Not sure if its going protect the inside of the frame, but I didn't want to trailer the frame to get sand blasted then start boxing it all in. The plasmas came in handy though, if I were you and ya didnt wanna spend the dough on one. Rent one. Or you can (it will take you some time)
I have one of these and used the crap out it when I didn't want to cut (plasma) metal late at night.
