Got my sub frame today and went to put it on and ran into some problems.

When these top holes line up


the bar underneath doesnt line up with anything


Yah no holes for the scrape bar!!


Didn't get any screws for this hole to hold up battery tray...stock ones dont look like they will fit.


So anyone have solutions?

 

i never installed one but i seen a couple threads on the subject and it looks like you need to line up the holes closest to the battery to support it then use zipties for the back and if i remember correctly you need to get different mounting bolts too

 

yeah i looked at the other threads been following those closely since i knew i was ordering one...cutting the tray went alright...just nothing lines up

 

as long as you have the battery supported good zipties should take care of the rest , he should fix the design ,too many people having problems , they seem to love it once they get it mounted but the install has a few people pulling their hair out ..lol

 

theres a tab on the front of the battery tray closest to the frame mounts that hits the mounting bolt. i trimmed a bunch of the tray and nothing worked until i trimmed that tab down. try that out atleast that was the case on mine.

i also trimmed of the rear of the tray just passed the crossbar in the pic

then basically went around the entire edge and made it narrower

hopefully this helps a little

 

did you drill the holes for the bar?

 

ya cant change it if it gets any wider no subcage will fit the subframe the stock one is 1/4in thick aluminum the aftermarket ones are 3/4in steel the problem is if you go wider to compensate for the tray your peg brackets move out ward and throw off the mount locations. ive made this as easy as it can possibly be. puttting it on for the first time is a bitch yes but once you get it you can do another in no time. the last one i put on took me 15min. from the pics the tray has to go forward about an inch. get the front bolts started in the tray then move you way back. i plan on doing a video on installing these and the 636 subbraces.

 

mine had the same problem with having to move forward about an inch. with the size of the mounting bolts it was hitting that tab on the front right of the tray. you should start there once i got that the headache went away

 

I cut mine right past all the wiring (ecu, tip sensor) and zip tied the tray up.....that stock tray is dumb as hell and idk why they put half the **** on there?

 

thanks guys and Atown1101

So far... i got

put the bolts in then pull the tray and put the other set of bolts in for the top part of the tray.

subframes dont come with holes for scrape bars...to bad i dont have a drill!!

and the stock bolts should be good for the holes by the ATC

 

can I be in the video??

 

ya hell while your bike is down y dont you make a vid and post it up LOL so i can put it on my site. sense i cant find any one with a R6 around hear i cant make a vid but the next 636 brace and round bar i make there will be a video fo sho.

 

can I wear my shorts you like

 

my seat(rider) tab cant go in...anyone else have hard time with this or is there a special way to do it?

 

gotchya , wasnt hating at all every one i know that has one loves it

 

its a tight squeeze slide the front down and into the tab and push hard forward and down and then put the back in place. most people trim the bottom of the seat but its not really needed. zeusr6 had the same issue with his and i got it on in the first shot. Now that i showed him he has no issues.

 

na its no biggie most people ether have a good idea what to do right off the get go or they PM me with ? or call. i understand no one wants to start cutting stuff off that they might need or cut something off that didnt need to get cut. the subframes are really easy once you do it the first time. hell when i made the first prototypes i had to put it on and take it off about 40 times before i got it to work. the thing is light strong and looks like a million bucks its my finest product i make. i kinda wish someone would take a pic of the whole subframe with just the battery tray in place with no seats or tail plastic. to give an idea what its looks like.

 

only if you have black sox were is hater when she is needed but for real you shud make a video i got your sliders and stickers are being made

 

if the weather clears up, ill tear my bike up and take pics of it tomorrow unless someone else wants to. if not, i will on the first nice day

 

quick question for a town guy can i put ur cage sliders on 905 if i do where can i buy those sliders and how much for 04 r6 .

i am running a town custom sub frame on 04 r6 and i really like that subframe i had problem to install means need little bit modification cuz it was not factory replacement but better than factory.
