1. IF you can afford it i would always run STOCK clutches. aftermarket tend to fly apart and could mess up your motor.
2. Got to home depot by some 1/4 streel strips. Cut it so that it will run from the top bolt on your rearset to the bottom bolt on you rear peg. Make sure its exact when you drill it so there is NO slop. This will serve as an extra brace for the subframe. Cheapest and easiest!

exactly! you just a pain to get a nut on the back of the bolt. YOu may have to get some longer bolts for the right side and put it behind the front rear set.
on the left side i had to put it between the rear set and the frame cause it hit stuff. Just get like 4 bolts the same tread as the ones in your rear sets and rear pegs and some lock nuts for the them and youll figure it out

Re: Its Coming Along!!!
looks pretty good man, get some water wetter or something in there to help with cooling. I rode for a long as time yesterday and my fan barely stayed on.
I use suzuki oil and filters, and clutch. just got suzuki pads for the back to replace those POS"HH" ones I had
