I just finished stripping all the pieces from my frame (with the exception of the swing arm) and flipped it over and noticed this.

The rear lower engine mount brackets look like they've been chewed away slightly or are curling. Is this typical? Is this something I need to have a welder address?

I'll second that motion. Looks like they kept hitting the tabs with a BFH until they broke off.

Well, that answers another question I had - how the crap does the center stand mount? This bike never had one since I've had it.

Thanks again!
