    I just bought this 1972 'MJ' frame. There are a few odd welds here and there. The biggest question, is the '73 style swingarm pivot support. Was there a kit offered for this at one point? It looks to nice to be some backyard fab work. The welds are not consistent with the OEM welds, either.

    The 73 Parts Manual showed the swing arm gussets as an optional part. Supposedly to purchase and retrofit to the MJ frame.

    Anyone actually come across these retrofit brackets? Doing the world's slowest rebuild on a '72 250 CR and finding a pair of them would be a great mod for the frame. Sadly, I'm not gifted with machining / welding skills : )
