86 250r subframe...

**250rRoostmaster** · 07-21-2010, 01:36 PM

Yeah i have thought about that,. that's why i'm making some custom gussets for the frame and i have a buddy whos a full time welder so i'm gonna have him do all the welding for me. Thanks for the concern though!!

That doesn't look to me like it would pivot. The way they were cut was to make a way to fasten the 2 posts together, not a pivot. Since the ends are squared and in close contact I think they would interfere with the pivot.

personally if you are going to powder this i would look for another frame (makes reassy much easier) not alot of money involved in a r frame

Why would reassambly be easier??

Looks the same to me........ Shock resi mount, hose clamp, exhaust support. Just looks like it was made to run.....

No worries, it can all be fixed up

Well i guess i'll just have to work with what i got.. Kinda feelin like i got hosed on this deal

but i'll have to make it work out

Is the resi mount welded between the frame and the subframe?

**250rRoostmaster** · 07-21-2010, 04:38 PM

Yes it is....

So then how is the subframe removable at all?

**250rRoostmaster** · 07-21-2010, 04:43 PM

Well like i said before it has the hinges on top and the post on bottom but the dude who had it before me welded that piece in there so its not able to pivot at the moment

I really don't know what his plan was with the frame but i'll get it all straightend out, i'm makin some gussets now to fill in the corners of the subframe to strengthen up his mistakes

**Dirtcrasher** · 07-21-2010, 05:09 PM

You'll be all set....... I use .125" steel for nice thick gussets!!

**250rRoostmaster** · 07-21-2010, 05:16 PM

yeah i saw your work with the 350x frame man!! Good job on that,. it looks like it was supposed to be there!! I'm using 12GA which is basically .125 so it'll be nice and strong plus at my work i have a laser so i'm doing some cool writing on them as well to make it look trick

**leviblue** · 07-21-2010, 06:34 PM

forget that and just get a new frame....looks dangerous and non-funtioning to me

**250rRoostmaster** · 07-22-2010, 07:51 AM

The guys before me was 6' 4" and weighed 300 pounds and he never broke it the way it is now, i talked to him and the frame was like that when he got it so i know it's obviously strong if it can take a 300 pounder that rode hard for 4 years!! And when i get done with it it will be much stronger

If i could find a frame around i would but theres not much in the frame dept. around here unfortunatly... So i'll work with i got
