2001 gixxer 600, I had the lower 12 bar bolts in a hole I drilled along the lower rear bracket, it cracked there.I got the whole back peice filled in with 1/4 thick aluminum plate, then drilled the holes in the plate.

05 gsxr 600. First was scraping a non re-enforced subframe. It broke just after the fillets aft of the lower mounts. Second was a rev-limiter coaster gone horribly wrong snaping and mangaling an AL plated subframe (nothing could have held up). Everything was broken and bent with nothing salvagable. It did hold up to all sorts of abuse before the crash though.

04 GSXR600....Snapped a stocker scrapping, snapped a reinforced flipping an endo,my back is really glad the second one broke. I'm sure even my spine protector wouldn't have helped me from the 12 bar if it didn't.
<<check the avatar.. don't need a subframe anyways

Re: Who has broken a subframe, and what bike?
Broke one stock and 3 reinforced ones,then I built one out of steel and it seemed indestructable. but then I snapped the subframe tabs on the frame. then added .25 1nch bars from the subframe to my kustom built cage and didnt have any more problems( except I bent it during a 60 mph crash involving some tank-slap and a couple flips )
