custom ally subframe, who can make me one?
I've hacked my standard 3EN2 subframe about to take an R6 tail and r1 gel battery (as the plate I put over the top of the battery space to bolt the TCAT tank to, fouled the normal mounting position of the standard FZR battery).
I'd like to get my sub frame copied in ally bar or similar with a few extra brackets on it for this and that (plus, in a perfect world, although not essential - jacked up a few inches so I could consider an under-seat exhaust) - as I know someone in the trade that owes me a favor and could make up the pipe-work for nowt.
I've hacked/drilled mine around so much it would probably bend, fall off, crack if used for much more than an MOT.
Can anyone recommend a decent and affordable contact to create me a custom sub-frame?
To confirm, I don't want to give them the entire bike. Just my pattern modded EN2 subframe. If needed to help with jacking the angle up - I'd buy another main frame and give them that to offer the subframe up to, to gauge the angle change.
I have a dealer on my door-step, but the last bike I let them have got battered and bits nicked off it when they supposedly got broken into!

I reckon any fabricator is going to need the bike and if you get the Exhaust pipe made or mocked up it will be eaiser.

Re: custom ally subframe, who can make me one?
pop the question on the PM mag forum in the workshop section.
i had a guy on there make me up a number of custom brackets and ally weiding in his spare time at work i guess. dunno if he'd be up to frabricating a subframe but sure someone on there will. Graeme france might be worth a try also
