I know it's been done before but it seems that the pictures don't show up (for me) on older posts. What I'm really looking to see is how the plugs look. My concern is that when I take the hack saw to the frame, there may be some slight chipping of the paint towards the edge of the remaining frame tube. Does the plug somehow curve over the ends of the frame or does it simply cover the hole and the non-painted (cut) end of the tube?

Thanks in advance!

When I cut mine I wrapped the area to be cut with duct tape and cut through it so as to avoid scratching or chipping the frame side of the cut. Start your cut slow until you get going. Worked fine for me. No chips or scratches. Good luck to you.
And No the plugs dont wrap around the edge but it's a good idea to touch up the raw cut edge so it does not rust in the future...

I just did mine last night. Tape where your going to cut and the paint will be fine. I sprayed some black primer afterwards so it doesn't rust. Once you start cutting it goes smooth.

Mine

Used the left over hardware from the beer tray and made a pair of swell-plugs to plug the frame ends

+1 on the tape. After the cut, take a fine file and clean it up and the edges will work out great. Plugs all depends on what you decide to use.

I wanted to send put this up a while ago, but my computer crapped out and I doubt uploading pictures from work would go over well since I work in an ER.
Anyway. Got the bike (s2r 1000) in July. This was my first mod....done a few since, and there are more to come. The next of which will be a bath :

My first post BTW.

I totally have the best frame plugs ;D 8)

Nice frame plug/signals [thumbsup] [thumbsup], you could get a small led strip of white lights and stick it under the taillight to get rid of the black box, or the Buell taillight has a clear bottom.

Thanks ;D That's exactly what i was thinking with the black box. I'll get to that when I fix the mount.....as you can see the tire has smacked the license plate a time or two....or three or four. But that's been less of a priority than exhaust, clutch cover, pod filters, front turn signals, mirrors......hmmm.. time to sign up for some more over time. :-\

Seems I had to copy and paste into another program in order to view it. Strange. Thanks for the feedback.

The main motivation to do the mod came from watching AZ screw it up
