Givi 52 loaded to the hilt,

That, good sir, is a huge understatement!

Let me do a little digging to see what I can do a few sets for...

I think the problem here is that the rear sub-frame is a cast aluminum piece. Even with the reinforcements, it will likely just break in a new un-reinforced location.
like here:

I AGREE.

The rear subframe seems rather wimpy for the overloading that often takes place.

[Grumpy]

Does having a crash count?

 

[mscott]

Sorry fellas, I have been off work for a few days...I'll get some info together when I get back...

The subframe is repaired. See <a href="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s=&showtopic=117800&view=findpost&p=588765" target="_blank">Post #1</a> for updates and photos.

Update please.

I'm thinking about making a set of gussets to brace the stock rear subframe and garauld rack on a GenI. I tried contacting RenoJohn about his Battle Born bike and how he braced it, but evidently his thin skin is still chafed after this <Link>. Hey RJ, :****:

:grin:

Thanks Joe, for bringing this little gem of a thread back to life. Nothing better than this chestnut to liven up the Holidays! A True Forum Butt Nugget, was this discourse!

Joe, RJ don't do PM's. Go to his website and send him an email if you expect any response from ol' quiet, RJ!

I'm kidding around. I even used the smiley faces and everything. :blink:

I'm not really worried about it. It was just an opportunity to take a playful jab, and I took it.

https://renojohn.goraiders.org/ Joe, my distant cousin dcarver is correct, RenoJohn never PM's anybody; not even Bust! But he has a cool and interesting M/C website!
