You better gussett where the 2 down tubes from where the seat sits. the frame cracks where the tube is welded to the frame. That is the only place ours has cracked. We welded gussets in there and works great.

right here. I welded 2 gussets on each side. I don't know why Honda doesn't do this from the factory. They All crack the frame there. I have a $1200 rear shock on this quad and he doesn't run mx just xc and it still cracked there!
