AC Subframe Fitment Issues

(1/2) > >>

jcm3:
A good buddy of mine just bought an AC subframe.  His fitment issues are major.  He basically can't even get it to work.  Some of the holes are an inch or more off, kind of like the process they used to build it is out of calibration or something.

He said AC was out, so had to make this one, which may or may not be common.  I imagine with older bikes like this there is not a big stockpile of these, and they probably make them to fill need.

I'm just curious about how the quality and fitment has been for others using the AC subframe.  He has an AC on there now, so obviously it is ok.  I also have one on mine, but curious if it is hit or miss.

Thanks for any information.

I haven't heard of any fitment issues...
Your buddy may want to check his year.
Take a look here:

Thanks for your response, Sandblaster.

sandblaster:
No problem.
Let us know what you find..

jcm3:
Are there mild differences in the frame in close years?  The reason I ask is because I believe his is a '97, but if it is a year or two off I would assume that since they changed the bike so little over a number of years that it would not cause a fitmetn issue.  But, I'll have him confirm that the frame info matches the year of the part that he ordered.

Thanks for your input.
