Tank Chop

 Tank from a Suzuki 850 does not fit over the Virago frame

Marked out an area to cut. Used a small Dremel cutting wheel to remove the offending metal

For the other side I decided it may save on time by drilling holes first

 Bend back the metal.

Inside is what looks like a small mouse house - the mice are not home

 Once both pieces were removed, the tank fits but only just - it will need more clearance before I can weld the holes closed.

 And with the tail piece, just to get an idea of how it might look.
