Will still hold to my statement that it's a hell of a lot stronger than 1" sq 16 ga. tubing frames, but clearly your adds will be a significant improvement. They may have to get a little creative to deal with potential suspension conflict, but that shouldn't be insurmountable.

Oh, we are on boy! Care to put a case of beer behind that? :) If you drive half way across the country to give it to me, I'll even share it.

If they choose the red tubes, that doesn't effect anything behind the roll bar so no problems with suspension. I can walk thru this in Grape, but I need at least a case of beer for this level of effort. Also engineers :ack: and musicians are somewhat similar in that I may follow you home and live under your staircase or front porch for awhile...

Not sure the source of this pic but it shows one implementation that Horizonjob is mentioning. Ignore the red arrows. They were from an earlier discussion on the Goblin's chassis.

re: the new Goblin, I might even go as far to change the front roll hoop support.
