Scooped up a a wrecked 09 with intentions to build a new stunt bike over the winter. I've already done a little work on this bike but I'm new to the site so I figured I would make a build thread

First things first! I've heard the 09+ Kawi frames are super fragile. After reading countless threads on this site I decided to gusset the frame. I want this b!tch to be strong as I'm probably going to drop it a lot. Luckily I have a buddy that tig welds. I dropped the bike off to him and he braced the frame up.

I went to autozone and found some flat auto enamel that was close in color to the frame. I'll add some close ups of the frame gussets also

Here's a list of parts/mods I will be adding to the bike for now:
-gusset/braced frame
-impaktech cage & subcage
-sic star solid subframe w/ round bar
-dcp rad cage
-sick adj clip ons
-driven block off/clean air mod
Hand brake and tank dent will be done later. Feel free to add any input. This is my first bike build so any info will be appreciated!

I used 1/4" 6061 aluminum to gusset the motor mounts on frame. My buddy welded two 1/4" pieces around the factory gusset and boxed it in with some rebar. He also did the subframe tabs with one piece of 1/4". Just thought I would throw this in there since I forgot to add it at the beginning.
