Well the mod has done well--but ****'s still cracking--on the bottom and now its working its way in on the top. I was thinking about running another steel bar from the top mount of the subframe back to the rear pegs--any ideas on htis--think I'll give it a shot tonight---

 

why dont you just get another sub off ebay,run that set up and then maybe it wont crack as bad

 

Id get another subframe instead of putting more weight on the bike. Mine works like a champ.

 

Hey,bro. p.m. me an email and i'll send you pics of my set-up.
Tried to post 'em but it wouldn't work. you won't be disappointed.

 

heres what i did i took a peace of steal and ran it from the front mount all the way to the back were my 12 bar bolts on to

 

i hear R1's subframe cracks bad too....i know someone who broke his..... YAMABUSA

 

Im working on getting one off ebay soon hopefully...I'll see what i can jeri-rig tomarrow and post up pics....

 

if i were you i would do what i did i slam my subframe hard as hell all the time and no even a crack any were

 

2 questions--

1-Looks like you drilled a hole in that lower spar--did that weaken the subframe down there? No cracks by the hole?

2-You also said that you ran it all the way back to the bar--is it welded to the bar or does it just go all the way back and then stop where the bar starts?

I just might give this a shot--thanks for the advice and pics--they help....

I just thought of this---what about using sandwiched tabs like on the Powers bar

 

How in the hell do you post pics on here?!?!

Send me an email so you can see my fix!!!!!!!!!

 

to qustion one ya i drilled hole on the lower spair no cracks were i driled them but were the weld is at the one that bolts to the frame both sides have cracked but that is why i put a steel plate on the back side as well to keep my sub frame as one even if the welds crack beleave me i have had 3 subframe tryed everything even welding it up those stock welds alway break all you can do is make the subframe thicker

to qustion 2 i have a fi 12 bar they bolt on so i just drilled holes in the steel put longer bolts through and tourqed it till the steel took shape like i said you cant stop the welds from breaking but you can hold them togther with a stronger metal

 

Alvin!You should have mail!

 

Let me know if I can help,bro. If you need specifics or anything.....
