Only for hardcore racing, if not, then you dont need it.

I would get it if you are serious into racing something like A maybe B class and up. If not, then its not needed. However, if you want to get one just to be safe, go ahead, cant be too careful.

Are you racing at any level? Do you plan to keep the bike for more than one season? If you answered yes these questions...get that frame gusseted!

A great kit to get for the gusset is the Bare Performance kit. You can pick it up from www.bareperformance.com for $75.00 and weild it on, or you can send BARE your frame and they will install it and power coat your frame any color you want for under $400.00 I think. Check out the site. You'll be suprised at what you can find there.

If you call or email them tell them Armysig sent you over.

Matt will know who you're talking about.

The weakest spot on the Suzuki frame is the footpeg mounts. I have seen racers build the area up with weld, with relative success.

If you are a big jumper with little concern as to how you land, expect you frame to be toast in a season. If you like to be smooth and fast, a gusset kit will not be beneficial.
