Hey i just busted my subcage on my 05 gsxr 600... whats available aftermarket if anything or should i just ebay a stock one? also someone said they could probably tig weld it, didnt know how safe that is, buts its just a stunter... its busted down by where it connects to my fram below the seat, any input would be helpful... oh yeah for ur entertainment purposes heres a pic

 

*****subframe****** sorry

 

u broke ur subframe not the cage.. and did it brake the mainframe or the subframe???

 

my buddy welded his subframe back 2gether and it holds tight, i dont see a problem with it... u will notice the welds but if the persons good its not gonna be anything too bad... give it a shot if its not bent 2 **** then id say its worth it

 

i dont think u want to tig weld it tho?? isnt that mostly just for used in plumbing??? seems like mig or arc would be the way to go

 

tig and reinforce that bitch it'll brake agian! i think some company makes a brace that goes from the pass. rearsets to the front rearsets not sure though?

 

The only company i knew of was Scrape Works, but i don't know if they are in Business anymore. The website doens't work atleast.

I wouldn't suggest welding the subframe, its one of the worst subframes on a bike. Its the **** *** Cast Aluminum and Cast welds like ****.

 

sub ties??

 

I think Powers is making subties. I dont think they will work with anything but their Subcages though. Which is not a bad investment anyways.

 

I believe tig welding is for aluminum and mig welding is for steel. Not sure though. I dont know much about welding.

And theres another guy on here making aftermarket subframes. There was a thread not to long ago in the stunt sections. His looked strong as **** like the scrapworx ones. IF you search you should be able to find it. Im pretty sure hes making them for the 05gix6 too.

 

Have yours welded the buy a SON DOOBY reinforcement for it with a bar. It's not worth the money to buy a factory one on ebay if it's just for a stunt bike.

 

i dont really know too much about welding but i am at the welding store alot buying oxy for my glass torch and i was lookin at some of the MIG welders recently i think it was a lincon and it said u could weld aluminum

 

tig welding is for everything that needs to be absolutley PERFECT!
mig or stick doesn't matter they can weld rusty metal or clean metal. i usually tig weld everything that i possibly can unless exhaust systems which i don't care what it looks like. but tig is the strongest and prettiest weld you can produce. tig weld

 

dont wast ur time welding that thing its a POS. if u plan on keeping the bike as a stunt bike just save the headache and money and buy an aftermarket steel one. for the money u wast on welding it 200 times and the braceing and this and that ull be out more in the long run.

 

I have a buddy that's a machinist and a welder he's gonna see what he can do with it, its free so it'll be worth a shot, measuring from my 12 bar its tweaked about an inch also but riding seasons will be about done here in a month or so and I wanna get rolling soon it should be ok for now I wiegh about 200lbs but if I don't scrape I'm hopin to get thru til he can build me a steel one or I can afford an aftermarket one. I'll post up before and afters when I get it back, thanx guyz

 

Better off welding it or looking for one on ebay or craigslist, cause a new subframe will run you a few hundred bones.
