Re: Custom purpose built stunt chromoly subframe

No price yet. I built it for a friend who works for the movie industry. It doesn't look like it but there is probably 100 hrs staring time and 8 hrs fabricating. It made the bike rock solid and really easy to put your foot on the 12 bar. I/m building a couple more right now 1 is all aluminum, it looks really good I'll post it when it's done.

Now that I think about it what would guys realistically pay for that setup?

Re: Custom purpose built stunt chromoly subframe

If the bar is built in, and adjustable where it can be anything from a 1 oclock bar to a 12 oclock bar, comes with a replaceable plate I'd pay around 350-400 bucks for one. It doesnt even have to look that fancy. Just make it to where the stock plastic fits over it.. Also, if you could do something to keep bikes like f4i's plastics from falling apart from doing seatstanders that would be the **** as well. For example, on the f4i there is nothing under the plastics to support you standing on the area between the rider seat and the passenger seat. That whole area falls apart in no time. No time at all.

Maybe consider adding extra support bars from the passenger peg area to the swingarm pivot bolt for bikes like the gixxers that have problems busting subframe tabs off of the frame.

I have, but you need to weld in some supports to your main frame I can send the aluminum braces but you need a good welder to put them on.

Re: Custom purpose built stunt chromoly subframe

No need to weld anything to the frame to brace the 929s either, just like the gixxers, you can run flatbar from the passenger peg area on the subframe to the swingarm pivot bolt. The pivot bolt is hollow so you can bolt the flatbar up to the main frame through the pivot bolt with a long piece of allthread.
