Probably a simple one - were ALL the tubers built of 4130 chromemoly, or did the Motor Company change the tube frame to 1020 DOM or something like that? and if so, at what point?

I'm looking at a phuqed up Cyclone frame - before I try to unphuq it, i'd like to know what I am dealing with...

I believe you are correct that they are all chromemolly, The early frames were tig welded. (I believe that this is mentioned in 25years of buell )
I think that the later ones are mig welded
/ brazed ( fittings )
