SI steel subframe for 05 636

Re: SI steel subframe for 05 636
word , I'm going to put an aftermarket slipon on it cause I think thats contributing to the issues of it breaking in a sense. On top of that I am gonna figure something out with crazy reinforcement but I wanna see the atown round bar with subframe support

yeah its like 12 pounds and the yosh slip on is ******* a pound and a half and the thing is with the subframe the yosh isnt held in entirely by my subframe so it has some play room so if I hit it then it will flop around rather then taking the hit on the subframe. but I think I will be fine with my low end cause I have a 60 tooth, if it starts to bog after I change out the exhaust I'll make a restrictor on it

yeah anytime I come in real hot into a circle I hit the corners of the exhaust but I also made a homemade scrape bar that worked like magic, I made a little bar around the stock exhaust with the 2 bolt holes around the exhaust but no more stock exhaust

I don't have any pics close-up; ATown actually has my bike right now and is making a jig for the braced round bar. I'm supposed to get it back next week so then I can snap some better pics.

I put an SI steel subframe on my 05 636 before I ever hit the bar (stock subframe got bent in a non-stunting wreck so I had to replace it anyway). Here's a bunch of pics of it. I'm still learning and have smashed the bar many times since and sent the bike flying, subframe still straight, no breaks, cracks, nothing. Installation was a tight fit, I ended up having to use a ratcheting tie-down strap on the last frame bolt to get it to line up, but it worked out.

Question....The subframe on the SI website looks different than yours-it has an 'X' brace on the rear part of the sub where the bar mounts. Your subframe has a plate....is that a new design? Old design? Custom?

I was just looking at your pile in ATOWN's garage an hour ago....... That subcage is definately one of the nicest I have seen, and the powder coating looks sick!!!!!!!! You need some color on it, why didnt you have that crap done up in red?

**** spending that much money on a subframe you could take it to a local welder tell him how you want it braced and i bet he can do it for less than 100$ the subframes are strong the only thing that is weak is the end cast piece for the rear seat. i just scraped stock pipe for a whole summer and never broke a subframe but you kinda learn to be gentle with scraping just my .02

The 05-06 subframe is part garbage.....the rear section is cast and snaps pretty easily just like the R6 subframes.

i bought a 2005 and have a 2006 sub frame and I noticed there are two extra braces welded to the 2006 sub on either side of the frame just below the seat latch. I snapped a 2005 sub exactly where those braces were supposed to be. the two sub frames are not exactly alike. so far I have had no issues with the 2006 sub frame. ..$400 for a subframe is too expensive for me right now.
