while looking over my 80 cb750f the other day i noticed an something
that struck me as rather strange. about half way down the right front
down tube of the frame, theres a split. its cut clean through the
pipe. it does seem to be braced well with brackets and bolts. looks
safe enough i guess. looks factory, not home hack job, but is it?
whats this all about? should i be concerned?

There's another similar break back by the footpeg, so you can remove
a section of the frame. Honda designed it to make engine removal
easier. If the fasteners, brackets, etc. are all present and secure,
there's nothing to worry about.

What he said.
Many bikes have removeable frame sections.

many thanks. i do feel easier but cant help but wonder these breaks in
the frame somehow contribute to that occasional 'speed wobble' that ive
experienced. ? brakets and bolts are all tight, couldnt be tighter,
but would welding them up help to achive greater stabillity? if welded
up, would engine removal be possible? i know this may be a whole new
can o worms, but i wonder....
