can anyone tell me a good spot to mount a 12 bar on a honda f3? at the very end of the subframe there is two holes stock. that is where i put mine and it lasted about 2 weeks. subframe never broke[thank god, it is not detachable from the frame], but bent right at the end where the subframe forks together. i'm welding all these supports on the subframe under the seat right now, but there has got to be a better place or tecnique to use. help would be cool. got to get it right before daytona. thanks

 

I made my own 12 bar and mounted it in those two holes plus the hole that is used to secure the seat. Since the subframe is steel I welded an extra nut behind the threaded holes on the subframe to strengthen them. I have hit hard a few times and nothing has broke. I attached some pictures...hope they work and hope it helps.

 

when i had my f2, i took one inch "c" notch steel and welded it to the top bar going out. i went like 5 inches past where the lower bar meets the top bar, 5 inches past where the two pieces are welding towards the tank. then i mildly had to cut the plastic, they went back on good, kinda hard to explain but look at this ........ [O looking from the back, the o is the frame and [ is the steel i used.

hope this helps, it helped me, cuz i was banging the sheot outta the bar at first and nothing bent

 

thanks a lot guys. the pictures really helped. those are some good ideas that i never thought about. i will for sure try those out

 

oh, one ? for cbr up op on one. after that piece of steel that hooks to your seat, how did you get the other piece to go up like that? is it two pieces welded?

 

Here are some pics of Jesse's old F3....

 

Yeah that was two pieces that I weled together....a little different looking but worked well....I didn't want to mangle my tail fairings so that was the solution.

 

Hey cbr up on one
I've seen you drag. Don't lie that's an 11:30 bar.

Hey man you still going with us to FL :YEAH

 

It's a 12 bar if I don't let out tire pressure...one thing I forgot to take into account when making it.

Damn straight I'm going to Flordia!
