junky subframes
Re: junky subframes
I had his sub on my gsxr before I sold it and it was quality. I gorilla scraped that thing a bunch of times every day while learning the rear brake and it held up great. Stock on the other hand and 1 gorilla scrape youre out of a subframe. I went through 3 or 4 subframes on the gsxr before I got the steel one from drgnazz. Then I smartened up and just bought a Honda

if you dont understand or cant visualize this hit me up and i will post a pic Re: junky subframes
ok, so heres what you do=make a custom 12 bar out of half inch x one inch plate, run it down to the main frame,tie in with longer bolt, then turn down and tie into the top rearset bolt with longer thru bolt(nut on backside) and wah-lah, you just encased your factory subframe with steel without putting extra strain on the main frame, my partner who is 250 pounds rocks this setup and clacks out on 12 hard daily and no issues yet...i should start charging you guys for these tips though

Re: junky subframes
laser cut brackets or not ITLOOKS like a homemade piece.i mean dont get me wrong, i know how much time it takes to build a subframe but 450$ today 500$ tomorrow and then how much$? all im saying is that for 450$ it better be tubular and bitching looking not just strong so my advice is to drop your $ or go tubular!!!
.This site is full of idiots and brokedicks.
Re: junky subframes
how about i pay you to shut your ******* moulth...... keep ridding your 8 year old bike you ******* clown..... now adays, in the 21 century, subframes are cast and no amount of bracing is going to help them...... if you own a bike 05 or newer chances are that your going to at one point or another have to get a few subframes.... (IE 05 06 636, newer gixxers, all Honda's newer then 06)

Re: junky subframes
amen brother!!!!!!!!!! dragging 12 and clacking your subframe went out of style back in like 2001, now its more about doing **** right off of bar/tail if you ask me..dont get me wrong, bar tricks are ok, but take it to the next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: junky subframes
you have a 929.
they are talking about gsxrs and i am talking about 05 636.....
you dont have any idea what you are talking about.....
if you tap a round bar on a 05 636, sub is bent and thats the truth
i have a scrapeworks sub on my f4i..... it stiffins the bike and makes it more responsive to body movment..... there are more resons to get the steel sub the just protection
your talking about older hondas and we are talking about newer suzukis and kawi....
do you understand why you are stupid now

Re: junky subframes
my gixxer frame has taken hard hits, no problems yet........ the sub-frame is junk for what we do.period the end.(04-05) i've never said i'm out gorilla scraping, but i've wacked the **** out of my steel tubular sub-frame to see if would take the abuse, and it did. now all this reinforcement talk is jibber-jabber for the 04-05 sub-frames(gsxr), if you have weak cast, it's still weak cast. you can reinforce it and it will help, but won't keep the sub-frame from cracking. it's just a poor design for asubframe for what we do.
all sub-frames can break, even f4i's seen it more than once. all it takes is one wrong hit at a weird angle..........

Re: junky subframes
steel subframe+gorrilla scrapes=broken main frame....come on now dont you kids know that? buy a ****** 929 brace the factory subframe with quarter inch x one inch plate and wah-lah you have a bulletproof setup... or spend 450$ on a steel subframe ,gorrilla scrape it ,break your main frame then wish you rocked a bike that doesnt have a flimsy weak brittle subframe
