Looking good kent - loving the overall stance with that back end! Regarding the frame gussets, the original factory ones are considered by some to be barely up to the job of keeping things in order on the twisties. I'm guessing removing them completely is likely to exacerbate this as a potential problem - unless your clients riding is going to be very limited.
There was a magazine article many years ago (referred to I think in the Minton Mods write-up?) where the journos were able to remove the front end of a standard XS and push a broom handle down through the headstock, from where they were able to flex that section of the frame by hand... *gulp* Keep up the good work
