ok heres where i gussetted mine. on the top frame rails on the motor mounts, mine had cracked so that was just beefed up and the two halves of it were fused together. back by the swingarm bolt, the plates are welded in towards the bottom, same with the plate between the framrails in the front. the rest u can pretty much see how they go. hope this helps. and yea i know i shouldnt have spray painted the frame but its what i could afford since im doin the motor too right now and its being stripped down again next winter anyways.
