I don't think people really balk at the fact that its a weld in job. Its probably becasue a bolt in job everything is figured out and its simply a matter of putting a few bolts in a few holes thats so attractive to those like myself without the skills.
With welding you have to well use a tape measure and more thought because it comes in pieces and figuring out angles and locations can mean the difference between riding correctly and well having your alignment all out of wack.
