They have been a few frames in the production line that have bent due to a fualty weld, but so far nothing bad has been held for the majority.

DO NOT WELD ANYTHING ON THE FRAME! It is heat treated and the way it was made will make that area super weak. Ask a Kawi rep and they'll tell you not to weld anything to it as it will decrease overall strength.
