For it to be "original" it'd have to stay in stock condition. But, one way to modify it would be to change to a raked triple tree, along with lowered shocks it'd have a much different look. Also, more $s though, you could install a wide tire kit. Have Fun!!!

If you are a decent welder/fabricator, you can get copies of rigid frames from companies like Paucho & build one yourself for a fraction of what you'd spend on a custom frame. Also, many of the parts you're going to need, you already have(engine, trans, gas tank, oil tank, bars, lights, brakes etc.) You'll have to buy some custom parts, depending on what you want your scoot to look like, but you can keep costs reasonable. Just don't expect your bike to look like OCC, unless you're related.

Get a hardtail sportster frame and move every thing over to it.

If your going to chop your scoot cheap just can't be in your vocabulary.

actually, it is probably easier to do it with an old jap bike or triumph.
