I used keyway stuff too.  Gonna go til I have a problem.  Need to used threadlock on the little set screws they keep coming loose.  Would probably use some spline stuff next time, but if it last a year or two going to be hard to second guess.  Only running a 600cc too. ;D

VDC4,
I think I'd leave the added tubes out, they will be head and arm bangers

Leave out those bars.Put your energy into killing off dead tubes (killing dead tubes-kind of ironic,huh?).Where the windshield hoop connects to the lower chassis is a good example of what you DON"T want. Add 1 or better 2 tubes to complete the load path to the bottom chassis rail.

Would an upside down "V" serve two purposes there?  IE: Triangulate the cross section and distribute load to the bottom rail along two paths?

ok ill add an upside down V to where the windshield hoop is, that will take care of that one and the little verticle support right in front of it.

Needs reinforcement IMO. The "ears" that are the upper and lower tabs are not good .Again just my opinion.
