It's winter here. All the leaves are brown. I have had my forks fixed http://www.maxton.netspinners.co.uk/ so what next? Anyone put on the lighter subframe from http://shop.fgspecialparts.it/compon...984337c993.jpg ??

or the rizoma footrests?

Now those are some nice looking welds , Some Ducati welds would never pass the visual stage of inspection....

Put some studs and go on up to Scandanavia and try out some ice racing...

Hmm. ice racing...now there's a thought..

although it's mostly cold and dark in Scandinavia

Just for your information, that subframe is only homologated for 1 person: it is not safe to use it in 2 people.
That is made out of ergal and the tubes section is the same as the original subframe: ergal has a different mechanical resistance compared to steel.
I have just installed it onto my Hyper but I will use it alone (the passenger footrests are not there anymore).
A friend of mine has the same subframe and he had a problem with the fixing bracket of the exhaust: the bracket broke due to the vibrations.
I will not use the bike until next March so I am not able to test the subframe and see if it is reliable.

Thanks Crimik...I don't take pillions so not a problem, but thanks for the info. I have the single sided termi exhaust ..do you think it will fit?

I need a replacement for my Hyper due to a lowside. What does a beautiful subframe such as this cost? Is there anyone distributing these in North America? I looked at the website but my Italian is ......well it just isn't if you know what I mean.

I think one of the vendors on here has them...

Karlr · Nov 23rd, 2009, 4:34 pm

322 euros is about 11venty million dollars I think

That is alot of kibbage! I just need someone's discarded stock unit after they installed a new trick alloy one. I have to spread the love as there are still plenty of parts needed!

You will have no problem with the single sided Termi: this type of subframe has the same geometry of the stock one.
Here's a link on the italian ebay, but the current exchange rate with USD is not so convenient: this guy delivers abroad but you have to ask for the delivery cost.
