First post, Woohoo! I'm not sure of the exact term for this part, but it's the part on both sides of the frame that the swing arm and foot controls attach to. I'll call it a gusset. Does that piece provide anything structurally to the frame or is it just a big triangle lookin thing to attatch the swingarm and foot controls to? I looked at it pretty closely and doesn't really seem to be doing much besides hanging out and providing a nice solid mount for the swing arm. The reason I'm asking is because I want to move the rear tire back about 4-6 inches so I'm going to be either fabing a new swing arm mount or cutting the stock one off and flipping it around to the back side of the frame and re-welding it. Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks
