1. The existing shock mount needs to removed from the frame and cleaned up on a lathe, a new location cut/prepared, welded into the frame.
2. A new shock mount is built on a lathe, a new location is cut/prepared, welded into the frame.

It really depends on what front offset you end using. If you can get away with a 1/2" offset from sprocket I doubt you'll need to flatten the inside of the frame. However, if you run a 5/8" front sprocket the chain will most like rub the frame slightly requiring you to mod the frame some.
If you're already set on moving the top shock mounts then you might as well go ahead and flatten the frame while your at it for the peace of mind it'll give.

Here's a link to a guy moving the shock mounts on a MKII. Maybe this will help.

That's basically what I've seen also. You could make a boxed section as well, guess it's up to whether you feel it is necessary or not.

they go all the way through the frame tube and get welded on both sides,thus bridging the tube and maiking it stronger than it was to start with.if you just welded the stud to the tube and did not extend it all the way through you would tear it off the frame in short order.
here is another pic.
here are the studs themselves
here is the jig they use to properly locate the studs on the frame.
i hope this helps.

i also moved the upper shock mount to copy the zrx geometry. u can do the mount as mentioned above, or weld in a solid bar that has been drilled right through. then u can just run a bolt right through the shock and frame.i tried that the last time and it is working fine.
My build is here.
