Subframe?

<< < (3/3)

Paul:

--- Quote from: Ramski ---I've had the AC Racing subframe and it was square tubbing.  They look nice but in my opinion are not as strong as the stock steel ones.  The AC Racing ones are aluminum.  Paul saw how I bent my last subframe.  It was a simple (but funny) loop.  The subframe wasn't bent too bad but enought to warrent a new one.

In all honesty Dan that loop would've bent any of them. The bikes weight was on the rear fender once it stood up. It was humorous though ;)

NastyNick:
they are square.  The picture is a subframe from another bike.

p.s.  I thought all the K5's stock subframes were aluminum.  Am I wrong?

I thought that they changed over in the late 80s :D

I had an 86 one with a steel rear subframe but my 90 has an alluminium subframe fitted as standard which is why some people add a little angle where the chain can rub the subframe :)
