For those of you who have your mini frames gusseted,where all did you gusset it?I have our Kasea frame down right now and I am trying to reinforce it myself.Here is what I have done so far.

Gussets on the front downtubes.....

Gussets on the crossbar that the upper shock mount is on...

Re-welded the swingarm mount area.This side was already cracked along the weld.It was only welded on one side so I welded both sides.

That's pretty much it so far other than going over some factory welds that looked like they were just tacked.I am thinking something in the front upper shock mount area may also be a good place to gusset.Any info/opinions are welcomed
