[QUOTE="KawieKX125, post: 193319, member: 20140"] After a rather spectacular highside, I was left with a tweaked subframe. While trying to tweak it back, many of the welds broke and I am no longer able to use it. I have some options and wanted your opinion on them 1)Ac racing aftermarket subframe. 160 dollars. No idea of quality, fit, or strength, 2)BBR subframe. 240 from dealer. I am assuming it is of outstanding quality, but is it stronger than stock? 3)Reweld, gusset, and strengthen stock subframe. I guess around 150 dollars. This would include major re-engineering and welding. Professionally done. What do you think of each choice? Is it worth it to just reweld the stockerr? Would the extra strength of the gusseting make a difference in a bad crash, or would it just be harder to tweak back if it got bent? Would I possible cause main frame damage if I had a super strong subframe? Sorry about the stupid questions, but I am in a pickle and really want to ride and have peace of mind about the rear of my bike. I would also cry if I spent loads of money on and of the above options and bent it in a crash my first day out, so keep that in mind. Thanks for the help. :) AGGHHHH, I spelled the topic wrong! Man, I feel like an idiot. I proofread it too. :p [/QUOTE]
