I gotta tell ya I'm not too keen on the bolt on version of the bracing. After all the effort put in details to the C section to clean it up, this doesn't follow suit.
What's missing from the pic is the PB-DM bolt-on upper bag mounts (they help the plates not 'stand-out' so much).

The notches were already welded in. I didn't want to cut them out, weld extra plate inside/out on the rails, & re-weld the c-notches back in. This was effectively the same structurally w/o starting over. Hind-sight what it is, on the next one, I'll weld the notches in after gusseting the rails.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
