im never gonna get away from this...

 

PROBABLY A DUMB QUESTION... Can the powers reinforced pegs work in conjunction with the scrapeworks subframes?

 

Why would you need that? I mean an aftermarket subframe should be strong enough on its own...The one Im working on is made of solid 6061 aluminum and it wont need any ties or bracing, and pretty much looks stock...

 

id def be interested in seeing that

 

Right now Im clamping it up, getting it ready for welding...Basically what I did was dissasemble a subframe and have the hollow tube sections made out of solid billet. Then Im re-using all the other parts and welding them back onto my new sections, that way is will mount and look stock but never bend or tweak...

Gonna test it out and see how much abuse the frame will take with a sub as solid as this, because if anything I'll rip the tabs off the frame before this sub even moves...

 

^R6???? That **** looks great! It's solid too right?

 

I have an f4 sub on my f4i


The rear pegs flex like plastic, and im only 160. Ive been thinking about an "upgrade" too

 

check this out

Look at the back of his pass pegs

 

wont those hit the tire??

 

maybe if you do 3up stoppies

 

huuum maybe ill just do that then and get some one to weld plates on the brackets...

 

does anyone know if someone makes any thing like that for a F2? it is stock with something like that but it is very flimsy. or is anyone willing to make one?

 

i broke my leftside pass. peg doing staggerd standups and i only weigh 160.

scared the **** outa me, but i saved it

 

a little but not to bad

 

That looks like it would actually break the subframe... maybe almost too strong?

 

I know it sounds strange........but you shoulda made your sub out of square tubing again, just with thicker walls. Solid rod, be it square or round, bends easier than tubing. I just found this out myself, after talking to my welder. Sure enough, put a few pieces in the vise to test it out........he's right. I'm sure your **** will still be sturdy, just food for thought for next time.

 

Look at the ends of it... if I'm not mistaken that's a solid piece, not hollow.

 

I'm actually in the process of making my own sub cage and reinforcement. I'ld buy one from Matt, but he doesn't make one for my bike. I took the stock pass. brackets and had all the cavities in the back-side filled in. Had both tabs that hold the peg on doubled in thickness. we're making a "hoop" bar to connect both pass. brackets out of 1" square alum. tubing, and making the bar that goes down to the rear-sets out of 1" by 1/4" alum. flat bar. Should be pretty strong. After snapping a peg, I want everything sturdy as ****. My 230 pound *** needs it!

 

Re-read my post..........I told him tubing was STRONGER than rod(solid).

 

Yeah me and my machinest were disscussin that the other day, about handle bars Im having him make for me. A solid 7/8 rod will bend easier then 7/8 thick wall tube would..But my sub parts were water jet cut from slabs, probably snap my frame in half before even tweaking 1 of those..
