loco ma-man. i saw it on here a long time ago. i cant remember if its a buddy who builds em or built it.

 

im talkin 'bout cutting the tail part off my frame and replacing it with a bolt on collapsable 4 piece of some aluminum replacement.

you can build anything you put you mind to. :wink:

 

 

if you need some motivation this should make building a subframe look easy.....http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9f6YxAvcxhU

i have never seen or heard of a collapsable subframe. but yes you can most certailny cut th old sub off and replace it with a new one. draggers do it all the time. tyson and a few others in mich. do that all the time.

Off subject here but I love my 140cc Lifan motor. Put it in my old CT90 Honda. Have over 3,000 miles on it. Do you have yours in inthemail?

 

On subject...If you can weld its an easy job to do. Take some measurements of the old one. Hack it off. Use some chromoly tubing cut to size and weld it on.

I was always hoping someone might make a removeable subframe for a shee. Would be a nice project. Then whenever you bend it, which you will, you can just ditch it, and put on a new one.

I've seen a few removable subframes. I think Podos racing sells them.

Podos Racing's quality seems to vary alot.

I had my sub frame made at GT performance (816-450-8580). I choose to have mine welded on for weight but you could make it detachable no problem.

 

 

I also made a bolt aluminum one for my 450
