Peter, the frame flexed already. It was not perfect when it was designed but was probably the best they could do...in 1969. Compared to todays frames, it would be considered barely adequate.
As for whacking it, you do not need to remove the parts. You have an insert that goes into each end of the tubes, something like 2 inches or so into each end and they get bolted in. Then you bolt the ends of these inserts together. The inserts are solid metal and so much stronger than the hollow tubes they replaced.
I would put Jesus himself on a bike with the frame kit.
As Vox said, you can certainly have your opinion but I can tell you that not a single 1 of these frame kits has failed. Adding one of these will not turn a cb into the motorcycle equivalent of a ford edsel.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
