I have rico's pictures of his frame.

This is what I know so far

Upper shock mounts

triangular gusset in back left corner of subframe, next to the battery

and triangular pieces welded in underneath the motor by the foot pegs.

Are there any other places I need them? Pictures would be very helpful!!

What is everyones idea on some down pipes on the subframe? Or is that some overkill??

a tube coming down in the subframe is def overkill. i gusseted my front shock mount and to me i see thats the only really critcal point i gotta get gusseted. i can see the foot pegs but i only wiegh 166 so i dont think ill do anything to the frame there.

It's also a good idea to rehit the welds were the headstay bolt connects to the frame...:D
