Cut down definition

Hearing alot lately about old time cut down racers. Seems to me they are stripped down teens and tewnties for racing. Are the frames modified too? Seems it would be a shame to take a bike that early and cut the frame. Kevin Sisterson

yep, they cut the frames and forks. Lance Tiddwell ? spelling had a real neat one years ago. Someone should have a picture of it some where, if done well, they are very cool machines. Would not do it today, but back then - they were just motorcycles :-)
