Maybe I did not explain it properly. The rear mono shock is almost directly under the back of the fuel tank where the frame is triangulated and probably the strongest part of the frame. The rear portion of the frame is not bolted on. There are two tubes that extend back and support the seats and the rear fender, lights, etc. You could easily cut off the rear tubular section and make a lower seat position, but would probably have to relocate the air filter housing or make a different one. The rear wheel has a small plastic fender that is very close to the tire and moves with the suspension. Since all of the rear axle loads and stresses are directed to the pivot point of the rear suspension and the mono shock, nothing behind those two locations really is important.
Find one with the back damaged or one that was down and you would have the basis for your streamliner.
