Re: Gsxr Subframes Are The Worst Design !

Mine broke so i welded it. It does'nt feel like im standing on a wet noodle anymore. Also put a peice of pipe between the rear footpeg mounts it helps alot too.

DAM !
NOW THATS WHAT IM LOOKING FOR !

LOOKS FUKING GOOD AND STRONG WITH THE DIMOND PLATE AND THE PIPE IN BETWEEN THE PEGS IS ANOTHER SWEET *** IDEA !

SHOULD BE GOOD AS LONG AS IT DOND BEND SIDEWAYS ......

1 MORE QUESTION.....
HOW DID YOU MOUNT THE PIPE INBETWEEN THE PEGS ?

I'M GUESSING BUT ...IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WOULD USE A PEICE OF THREADED ROD WITH A NUT ON EACH END THEN A LARGER SIZE HOLLOW PIPE AROUND THE THREADED ROD ?

DONT MEAN TO BE A PAIN IN THE *** BUT I THINK THIS MIGHT HELP EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE SAME DAM PROBLEM WITH OUR GSXRS .

COULD YOU POST SOME PICTURES OF THE PIPE FROM UNDERNEATH ....AND A LITTLE HOW TO ON IT ALSO.

THANKS FROM,

ALL OF US GSXR STUNTERS.

Re: Gsxr Subframes Are The Worst Design !

Damn... I figured I would have seen a honda comment from Tenny already.. j/k

I haven't broken mine yet. I have hit it pretty damn hard twice with rev limiter coasters gone bad. Didn't wreck or break or bend the subframe either time. I wanna say you guys are hitting em too hard too often. And GSE Mike is right, they'll bust every time if your subframe screws are loose. Locktite them hoes and check em regularly.

Re: Gsxr Subframes Are The Worst Design !

I've gone through about 4 of them on my last bike. I don't even half to hit it hard and mine break/bend. All this stuff will make everyone better in the long run because they won't have all of the down time.

Anyone got any steel ones for sale at a reasonable price that I can still ride a passenger on???

hah you should see Bryans 929 its been welded so many times. Johns is also cracked.
The best tip on how not to break them has alreadt been said, NO GORILLA SCRAPES The pipe I put in mine, Idoubt does anything now that its welded but it does help stock subframes. I took out the front bolts to the foot peg and ran a piece of allthread though them also going though a piece of an old jack handle I cut to size.
