I've made the last few gusset kits for my other bikes, thinking about just buying one for my new 08. Which ones do you guys recommend? BARE? Walsh? JB? and wheres the cheapest place to get them? Im sure they all do the about the same. So which ones the cheapest? lol

they are not all the same, the JB kit is a joke, only has a couple gussets, i dont like the bare's either. I like the LSR and the walsh. they are really expensive though. What i did was just get some pics from the sites of the gussets i liked out of all the kits and took it to a race car fab shop and they made the gussets and welded it on for less then just the gusset kit from lsr or walsh.

I need to do my 04 this winter as well. My paint has chipped right in front of the motor where the frame goes up under the radiator. Should this be welded in a specific way, or does a MIG welder the way to go? Also, what other spots are prone to break? I know my radiator is tweaked from the frame flexing. Even though, I can't find any actual cracks in the frame.

The LSR and Tiexeira Tech are almost identical in every way. There are some slight differences but nothing enough to push one over the other.

I use both

I have had great luck with lsr, i have 2 friends with bare and they both have cranks in the same spot on the upper frame rail where the gusset ends. just my .02
