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 :-) -

Matt Walksler of Wheels Through Time has built several J/JD Model cut downs over the last few years, and is racing one of them this weekend.
