While my engine sits on the workbench (with a hole in one of the pistons), I'm left with too much time and a remarkably uncluttered frame. Considering the handling on my XS, I'd like to do what I can to improve it. I'm aware of the improvements that can be gained from replacement of the stock bearings, I've also got a fork brace for the front end. My next though was bracing the frame while I've got the opportunity. Are there any meaningful improvments that can be made by adding bracing/gussets to areas of the frame. If so, does anyone have any suggestions or images?
