Not sure if I follow you. Do you mean the distance between the scallops on the weld bead? I agree, they are a bit too far apart. I moved a bit too quick with not enough wire speed. That whole area is going to have a gusset and tied into the bag mount (and some other tubes that I haven't laid out 100% yet) but I wasn't too concerned with it as it is welded on both sides and 5 other welds. There is going to be a fishplate on there too.
