i was wonderin if anybodys subframe bent when the do there sit down 12 cause mine did now twice is there any tips on how to beef up the sub frame thanks for input

 

I think the best way, would be to make 1 to 3" gussets and welding them between the frame and subframe.

I don't have a 12bar yet, but once I get one im gonna put 2-4 guessets on my subframe to give it more support.

 

this is how i reinforced mine, and my 12 bar bolts to the reinforcement

 

Huh i bought a 12bar from freestyle and the SOB came bent.

Clip of me twelvin it. <a href="http://www.clipshack.com/Clip.aspx?key=3DCE2619321DFA42">12oclock</a>

 

I run 50stunt 12 bars and they are solid. I hit mine all the time wieghin 220, no bent subframe.

 

Never bent a subframe with my FI bar either

side not - DO not drill the subframe ... i have seen at least 4 snap from drilling subframe

 

me being stupid scraped my fender with no bar and scraped the hell out of my $300 dollar exhaust for my xr 70

 

well one thing to do is cut the ends off teh rear subframe and push 1/2 diameter solid steel round stock down the inside of the top rails, then weld it up at the end.

Iv'e heard from a few people that had their subframes re-enforced by welding that the heat weakened the subframe causing it to break, one from gusseting the sub frame and the other from welding his bar on. ( the first way i mentioned is the only welding solution that wont effect the strength of the sub at any attachment points that could cause failure)

the 12 bars i make,the 50stunts bars, and the FI bar all follow the the entire subframe for extra support, and won't bend your sub-frame

buy one of the three bars above and you wont have to worry

i have a few sitting around PM if interested

 

i know sum1 who snapped their frame, he hit a pot hole. lol

 

the 50stunt 12 bars are the best out there. they actually strengthen the subframe and won't let it bend
