So I pretty much broke my subframe in half (not down the middle). I'm seriously considering leaving it the way it is and putting sort of a step plate on it. I don't scrape or do (so-called gay) foot in bar tricks. I rode the other day with my bike having NOTHING AT ALL behind the seat and I didn't so much mind it. What I want to do it put on a plate, bolted to the reinforcing plates on the subframe, that I can put my heels on when I'm doing SS and combos and ****. I know it's different, but it may or may not be better. I don't ride with a passenger, so it's not like I actually need anything behind me when I'm riding. Here are a few (don't make too much fun of my MS Paint ability) mockups that I came up with.




wow, I forgot the legend for the pic.
Green-reinforcing plate
Grey-original suubframe
blue-seat
red-new material for the plate


It's gonna be bolted on and probably have grip tape on the top of it so I don't slip.
It may be ghetto fabulous, but it might work.

 

Just do it...

 

Looks stupid though

 

i think it looks kinda cool straight street fighter

 

Boxer, in SSB mag, sorta gave me the idea for it. all that crap behind the seat is wasted space for me anyway, I only use the little area I put my heels on when I'm standing up there anyway

 

Whatever keeps you from not riding

 

done it = not as cool as you might think lol

 

thanks for the pics. That's about what mine looks like right now.

I just don't like the feeling doing combos and jumping back to the seat with nothing there under my heels. it's a very strange feeling.

 

yeah its deff scary, even just riding down the road i felt like my shirt was gonna get caught in it and id be dead or shirtless lol

 

yeah, I did a nice couple of SS down the road Tues night in 3rd and it wasn't the greatest feeling, but I thought a bar to put the back of my feet on would help.

I know WHEN I loop it, it's gonna ****.

 

A bit on the dangerous side, in case of a mishap having nothing sheilding you from the chain / sprocket...Could just see a foot getting jammed in between the wheel and swingarm....not good..

How long will it take b4 we see someone scraping seat...lol....

Cheers
