Neither are the Meridian Triumph frames, I have one that has survived the last 16 years with 70+ hp, drag slick at the track, bolt on hardtail rear, over 40K miles of hard riding across 9 states.....the KTM engine won't put anymore force against that frame than that big single.

My 98 Sporty 1200C frame isn't stout by any means. I have 0 mods to it other than clearancing part of the back bone with a 16# sledge so rear rocker box of my 96" Sporty motor fits. So far the switch from 68hp to a best of 131hp hasn't done anything except break drive belts. Back to the chain!
