so what your saying is that you poop in your gastank to make your pow pow's? does it remind you of your johnathon? works fine till you ride it hard?

The neck and back half of the frame is forged aluminum(good luck finding out that aluminum mix), and the spars are made of extruded pieces....I dont know the exact grade of extrusion they use but its not 6061 for sure! Cause 6061 would not form the way they form those extrueded pieces... 6061 would crack if you tried to from it like that...

I could ask my welder what he thinks it is....If I were going to weld anything to it Id use 6061, its up to the welder to get good penetration on both types of aluminum without melting the softer one, they dont have to be the same grade...

I will ask my welder, because he also heat treats frames when I give them to him to weld....
