i have tried searching but could find anything good, i have been told that on my 02 600 gixxer, my tabs for the subframe ARE GOING TO BREAK when i start to hit the 12 bar. Does anyone have some pics of how you did it so i dont break mine. Thanks.

its eazy get sub ties from powers or you can just go to there sight and see what im talking about. it just flat stock fron ur pass pegs to you rear sets cost like 7 bucks at home depot

learn brake and throttle control and dont gorilla scrape and you will have no problems. i learned on an 04 750, which that sub is wayyy weaker than what you got and i never broke it. i didnt run a 12 bar, i just scraped plastic if i felt the need to scrape at all. if u want to do bar tricks well.........idk theyre gay. if anything put a round bar on their to save your plastics and dont slam ur bike into the bar and youll never have any problems. if u do brake a tab bring it and get it welded back up for 30 dollars and move one with your life.

ok I got a 01 gsxr.

let me tell you what I did..

I built myself my own subframe out of STEEL.. Now.. the bolts.. were like grade 6.. I dont know if higher is stronger in num ber or lower is..

but I got the weakest ones..

THEN.. I drilled out the middle of them..


What I hope for??

The bolts break before the Ears/Tabs on my frame do


So Far - so good.. Iv actualy.. Catapulted my bike 6 feet in the air before.. and I was scared the bolts were too strong.. so i drilled out the insides..

Just a thought- hope this helps

^ That person is clever.

on mine I just took two bits of steel flat bar and braced the subframe from the rear pillion mounts, to the footrest mounts. I also ran one along the subframe between the main subframe mounts and pillion mlounts.

i never broke anything, but I'd recommend the weak bolt idea so you don't **** your rearset mounts.

i used just flat stock on mine( red bar fron front peg to rear)

i have a steel sub-frame on her now. haven't had a chance to get pics up yet, but pm me if your interested in a steel subframe for cheap....


i know mine's not a 02, but you get the idea. my buddy can get you a steel sub for your year model if you want. or anyone else who wants a steel subframe for cheap...PM ME

where exactly do the tabs break at. on the main frame or rear frame

the whole idea of putting flat stock from the pegs to front rear sets is the best way///when i had my 02, i did a really stupid thing, but it worked well...that was welding the entire subframe to the main frame and boxing in the whole subframe...held up and worked like a champ...sold that bike to johnr from bmorex after me, he tore it up and didnt break it either....now someone else has it....from what i hear still holding....i wouldnt reccomend it, but its just another option....do the sup ties with flat stock from homedepot....ive attched a old pic of my bike welded all in(the black and red one)...and the other pic is a old friends..his was boxed in but not welded to the main frame, but he also had flat stock sub ties, so he had the best of both worlds
