Ordered a Teixiera gusset kit and I'm going to be taking the frame in to get welded.. Just wondering what kind of welding will need to be done, TIG or just MIG. Its easy to find someone with a MIG welder so that could make it easier/cheaper to do.

I did my own gusset kit in my dads garage all I did was mig welded it and then if there's any splatter grinder the splatter off then after powder coat you couldn't really tell it just depends how good the welder is

either or.. or whatever you are more comfortable with.. we just tig'd gussets into a 450r frame, turned out good.

I got a little flux core wire welder (gasless) that I use.
