Not bad. I notice yours is not bolted, how is it fitted to the aluminum half?

it has bolts holding it together, thats the thing that sets the MD FAB frames apart.

we are the only Fab shop doing the mounting this way...its super clean and takes all the load off the mounting bolts...
the other steel frames mount from the side and anyone that has stunted for any amount of time knows that just like the subframe that takes lots of input will over time enlarge the holes and will loosen up..our mounting does not put any load into the bolts there for staying tight..

the Ironman frame is ~15 lbs over stock. add a tygershark cage, and it makes for a chunky monkey 636. I wouldn't be able to tell ya the difference unless I had a lightweight bike to ride and compare it with.
