from what i read the frame doesn't really have any serious issues, even for racing. im sure theres a couple spots that wouldn't hurt to have some bracing, but not sure where.

some frames have weak spots in them, so u stick a peice of metal in the weak spot to make it stronger, but it doesnt always work...... like Z400 frames
