Good god, you held your subframe/frame together by a high mount? That is crazy... I want to make a set of these for a gixxer and see how they hold up. I just need a gixxer to commondeer for a day =p I willget some pics up of the f4i braces.

i finally broke my frame on the my Kawi the other day.. the bottom subframe mount...
tsk tsk..
thats what i get though for not having it braced.. i smacked it pretty hard a few times though.. i had it comming..
my gsxr was a crack happy bike.. but then again my kawi isnt much better...
im really hard on my bikes though i guess.. im wreck happy..

I bent the subframe on this bike and I really messed up the sub on the 1000RR. I was learning and looped a bunch of slow wheelies because I didn't know what the brake was at all at that time.

yeah i got some cracks in my frame,
i've done many upon many 12's and still no problems with the subframe though.
the only time i ever let that bar touch is when i'm 100% sure that its going to be a smooth, precise thing.
