Hey,

I do make these frame kits. Is designed by one of your fellow Americans but I make these, in consultation with him, kits for guys overhere in Europe. In the past there where some simpler solutions although not as strong as this. In this pic both plates should be on the inside of the frame.
It is really something to be considered if you are playing with the thought of cleaning up/powdercoat or paint your frame. Makes working on your top much easier.
 
Even build it on my racer:

In my experience of working on these bikes since the early 70's it is not so much the frame, although there is somethings to desire, but the mounting of the engine in the frame that can be much better.
I designed some reinforcements for that.
