And a related question: if you are using an aftermarket exhaust (with no bracing of the rear frame as supplied by the OE exhaust), and one were thinking of stripping and refinishing the frame, would anyone advise adding any bracing to the rear to maintain the strength of the original design? And if so, where?
Kennichi - hope you don't think this is hijacking your thread, but it's something I have been wondering for a while, and may be relevant to you.
