Broken rear subframe

[Joe2Lmaker]

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!

o.k.

Thank You

I've studied the website in depth, in fact I have it bookmarked.

I sent an email to RenoJohn a couple of days ago asking a question about his BattleBorn bike, specifically bracing the rear subframe and Givi rack.

Good Grief.

I'd be interested in the braces if you deceide to make some up for the Gen 1.

Thanks,

Well I can't explain anything about Reno John. He's got nothing that a few miles of motorcycling won't fix.

As for my subframe, it's been solid as a rock ever since the repair. I haven't actually inspected it lately, but the seat of the pants impression is that the repair was good and nothing else has broken.

Thank God we're back on topic!

Did you add a gusset/brace forward to the attachment points for the grabrail, or were the welded-in gussets enough?

Time to go have dinner with the wife. (she's been out Christmas shopping all day)

Yes, I did add bracing to the forward attachment points. A friend of mine made a rod that connects the rear to the front.

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!

15 months in the grave...

ZOMBIESS!

That's pretty amazing you got that fixed. Most people would have parted the bike out after that kind of damage. I'm sure it was not a cheap thing to get fixed!
