You can keep your frame from cracking by gusseting the hell out of it. And I dont mean one of those lonestar kits. Im talking GUSSETING by adding custom tube pieces to hole up the downtubes and headstay, above the shock mounts, etc... My buddy just had his 3rd Z frame gusseted hardcore, Ill post some pics when I get them scanned...

everything will break what kind of riding do you do? you may not even need gussets. what year is your bike? also when you gusset a section of the frame it will cause other parts of the frame to crack where it normally wouldnt cause of the stress. im not saying gusseting is bad it will prevent cracking but will not stop it
