Honda leave gussets not welded like that, otherwise they crack as the loads flex the structure. The idea is to have welds in bending, so they weld along the 'neutral axis' of a joint (the bit that doesn't get longer or shorter as it bends i.e. avoid welding where the joint is in alternating tension & compression. It looks bad but the frame resists cracking much better than if it was fully welded. Fillet grinding and blending the welds so there is no abrupt change in section is a way to stop this cracking, but Honda definitely don't want to do that as it's too time-consuming (as you found out). Still I'd keep an eye out for cracks starting at those welds when you do routine maintenance - jv

Without a doubt today was awesome due to the video drop. Love how you explain everything. I cannot wait for your next video. Great job bud.

Beautiful welding and detailing

Greetings from Portugal, I am the 500th subscriber and enjoying this rather interesting project. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

It’s getting sooooo clean! Love it.

Awesome progress, came out sweet!

I believe the open joints under behind the steering stop are weep holes.

Just a suggestion about metal types. I don't know if the original frame material is Chrome Moly but my 250 R ATV was and when I added mild steel gussets I ran into a cracking problem and had to replace them with Chrome Moly flat stock. I don't know if you will have the same point loading issues I did but just something to bounce off you.

Hey, I'm absolutely loving the work you put on this frame. Roughly, at finished work, how many hours did you put in it? If you'd be willing to do the same work for somebody else, how much would you charge for the whole work? Hypothetically speaking. I would like to have something like that for a project of mine, but with a 200cc V2 two stroke engine.

Postie, no engineer? so where did all the engineering gear come from?
