I thought about trussing it but cant be bothered with the Fab work to do it just yet. And can't afford the cash to buy a premade truss. I'm not planning on taking it off any sweet Jumps for now so It should be fine, I might look at that down the line though, got a few mates that are decent Welders.

would love to do this to mine but am worried about putting a camber in the housing from the heat its something i believe would be difficult to do right.
