...and in 40 years people will be mad that you chopped up a classic. Chopping a bike doesn't ruin it (unless you don't have the skills to do it right). Chop it and ride it if that's your thing, ride it stock if it's not. If I had a bike that was already 90% original and in really good condition or if it were worth big bucks, I'd leave it alone. Otherwise I'd chop it if I wanted to.
