I think Rick's are standard shape made from ally, 50% lighter than stock, but they cannot support the weight of a pillion rider. I've held one and they are ridiculously light in comparison.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Light rear subframes

Re: Light rear subframes
Take it to an ally welder DM. Ride it there, show them the problem and go have a brew somewhere. When you get back you're problems will be over. A bit more elegant than meccano and that bike deserves it mate.
Are the specs on this bike in you're DM's bikes posts Tony?
Not a bad set of wheels there mate (understatement of the year award to me I think).

Re: Light rear subframes

Re: Light rear subframes
Near complete aye. Since when did any of us have bikes that were 100% complete? She's a thing of beauty mate and only getting better.
