Thanx meatball. I'll try to post pics. The former owner welded some steel to the frame, looks ugly but seems strong. I'm going hard tail to keep the movement down. In theory it should be stronger that way I think. Almost finished with the odds n ends, should fire soon.

Pic of the mount. Not pretty but seems strong. I added the rear brace in place of a shock, it bolts in under the frame.

Ya haha. Curves over the frame and to the front. Looks like 1/8" plate steel. Actually makes the spree frame a little stronger.

That front most weld looks bubblegummed on, ide have a shop go over them real quick. Ive been welding alot with these thin frames, there isnt much holding that on.

There's some burn thru on the front part, but it's not too bad and most of the stress is on the "hooped" portion. It ain't perfect but it held up under the previous guy who was a lil bigger than me. I was thinking about maybe adding some more tie-in points to the frame and bolting instead of welding, but we'll see. I'm gonna ride it a little bit and check it,ake sure it doesn't crack haha. It actually seems stiff when I sit on it and when I ride it.
