I think what the OP was referring to was the addition of tubes in the steering head area on the featured Monster. I think the purpose of the modification was to add the two tubes that were removed from the old style 851/Monster frame when they put a carbed 2V motor in the frame originally designed for the FI 851.

To the OP, you have an ST style frame. It is different from the earlier frame and I honestly don't know if there would be any benefit from this mod. If you did it you would have to switch to pod filters and lose the airbox.

Thanks. I also did one with 2 extra 1/2" tubes coming out each side like the Jananese flag. On my own frames, I add a xcross bar behind the head tube & then center to center with the head tube. The more you add, the better, it's not an area where you can be too stiff, but you still have to be able to get in with a welder & a paint gun, something I frequently fail to consider when I design.

Painting stock frames is not a fun thing never mind one with added gussets.
