I just installed a SI round bar on my buddies 05/06 636 the other day, he only had it on for 2 sessions and its already falling apart...And he doesnt gorilla scrape, or even scrape fast or very long...Just the occasional SS scrape and tapping it once in a while while stalling SS tricks..

So anyways first of all Im not too happy with the SI round bar, it didnt fit well and the holes are much larger then they need to be. So even when they are tight there is alot of play in the mounting, you can tighten it as much as possible and it will move 1/2" on the first scrape. It already moved so much it started to smash his tail section as it moves up with every scrape...

So what are you guys doing for 05/06 636 subframe and roundbar issues?
I think his his sub is already bent up and its only been 2 session....Is there anything on the market to stop the roundbar and subframe from bending upward with evey scrape

buy a honda.....

jk a friend of mine did the same thing a couple of scrapes and the sub was straight in the air

Dont Run A Bar On A Bike With An Undertail Exhaust!!!!

i just scrape the stock exhuast never had any problems. get the stockers for like 25 dollars all day, ill prob go through one a year. i can scrape for 4 years of stock exhuast for the cost of a round bar plus keep my tail light.

does it do the same thing on the 03-04 636???

I have bent my Subframe on the first scrape of the round bar. And I only weigh 160lbs. That thing came off so fast I was able to get it out with the trash on garbage night.

damn glad I caught this thread, I guess I'll stick to scraping the stock exhaust.....**** that **** haha

what would you guys prefer for 03 04 636 ? i was thinking about buying the sick inn round bar but not if it only last a couple scrapes, should i just go with the flat 12 bar?

T-NECK

no sir!

I loved the round bar on mine, I actually have an extra brand new powers round bar at my house i can sell for 100+ shipping, never mounted, and the thing is diesel, you'll never bend it.

its b/c the 05-06 subframe goes to singal square tubing (about 6 inch long), and the 03-04 is dual tubing all the way back, eric (e-brake) has suports that run from the rear set bolts too the holes that hold the exhaust on, which is ment to stop the subframe from moving upward... ill see if i can get him to throw some pictures up

Re-Micks

you got pic's?

T-NECK

just updated my post with a pic.

also what about relocation of the rear brake lights if i go with a round bar ? anyone have any advice or pics that would help me.

Re-Micks

heres a pic look at the black support bar (top rear set bolt)

Thats the problem, the only reason he wanted a round bar is because he just bought a Yosh slipon for his bike....And he doesnt want to **** it up too bad, he was just scraping away at the stock exhaust before that...

And it was a pain in the *** to shorten that Yosh pipe!

So no one has a fix for the subframe yet? Guess I'll have to make him one myself then... If it was still winter I wouldnt have a problem but now that its riding weather here, I dont really have time to make ****. And I
wish there was something we could just buy, even if its a complete new aftermarket sub...

The ground will bend before my custom 03/04 636 subframe will

T-NECK

what most do is convert to the 6inch led strip instead of the stocker rear brake light. thats why i had matt weld in a piece of flat stock inbetween the loop of the round bar, as to zip tie the little brake strip to it. it is bright, and stays out of the way.

His Powerz subcage came with something very similar, they are called sub ties....But they bolt from the rearsets to behind the passenger pegs, and I think the subframe is bending father back then that so they seem useless..

Where does that one bolt up to? And has it stopped it from bending completely?

Re-Micks

those ties go to the holes on which the exhaust bolts up to, they were made by one of his fabricators that built his front stay, hes had no probs with it so far

hey ive seen them do the same thing. they bend up and crack the tail. this isnt just a hey go with 905 bullshit plug-in. but my 905 bar hasnt moved a bit. tho i thought it was going to, it didnt. and i just wrecked a rev limiter coaster the other month and still ok, but shame i cant say the same for my now L shaped subframe lol. not sure who else makes them and how good they are.

GSE Nick

yeah powers bar looks pretty good too
