Rear Subframe Repair

Last weekend’s ride did a number to both of our bikes.  Trevor’s bike subframe failed around the welds.  The welds themselves were ok just the thinner frame material failed. 
My bike was doing ok until I went down on the gravel.  The subframe is clearly bent and there are gapping holes were the rack attached.  Not quite straight.
No turning back now! 
We used some DOM tubing and some massive gussets to strengthen the area. This is overkill but hopefully we will not have to mess with it down the road.  More information under the motorcycle & Equip Tab.
 Added front braces off the passenger foot pegs. Will add a light brace around license plate.
Like a pro!
