    The 2009-2010 EG frames are a little longer in the battery area and 50lbs heavier.
    I do know that.
    They also raked the frame a little more.
    And like stuck a 18" front wheel and a 17" rear wheel on the EG.

    09 and up have the new frame
    It has something like 50 to 70% fewer welds

    front motor mount is split side to side vs one center point mount
    rear section bolts on not welded.

    used to have the diagram but there are hundreds of changes...
