Nothing wrong with it, but nothing right either. Have you ever tried cutting
one with a hack saw? Even with a cutoff wheel this is a little difficult. A
torch would do better. What if you need to replace the shaft bushings latter?
Personally I would replace the shaft and double pin the fork, as Nelson
Riedel mentions, but that's me.
Yeah, welding will work, though. As you can guess the DPO (Damned previous
owner at the time), welded mine and the clutch worked fine.

Sounds like you've reasoned through it to me. What a consenting adult and
thier lbc does is thier business. Go for it. I doubt the judges will ever
catch it.
