Mods to Frame?

[MJP61]

Are There any modification to the frame I should consider before sending frame to powdercoat?

This is something that has been discussed many times before but may not be in a thread by itself and it's hard to find all the input from others. I looked quickly and couldn't find any discussion.

I myself added a tab for mounting the fuse box instead of using the clamps (that may have changed now). I added to tabs on the rear tube 7" apart to mount a license plate. I ground off the engine cover tabs since we weren't going to use them. Some have welded bent washers to the frame to zip tie down harnesses, etc.

Watch the videos and think of things that you might want to do differently. Many customize the build to suit themselves, so it's going to vary from build to build.

The changes I wish I had made are adding a harness bar at the appropriate height and anti-crush sleeves or additional square tube to facilitate easier seat mounting.

I had a lot changed. Most were to make my vision for my Goblin come true. Some were just because it was still at the fab shop and it made things "simpler". I do recommend adding in a harness bar in a higher location if you need it. Running the shoulder belts to the "OEM" location would have done more harm than good for me if I ever crashed.
