250-500cc New member of the broken subframe club

What really pisses me off is I think this happened when I was washing my bike in my backyard and it fell off the stand onto the lawn! Hopefully I can get somebody to weld it up before the weekend.

I wouldn't even mess with having someone weld that same piece on. Start with new thicker stock alum and have that put on. I've had 2 of my husky's redone like this and they can now be tossed about without worrying about those weak mounts.

I'm gonna drop the subframe off tomorrow. I'll see what the guy says about using something besides the stock piece; thanks for the tip!

Yes indeed, We have repaired those tabs too many times. LOL
We even broke the rear brake master cylinder tabs off on two of our bikes. Keep an eye on those too.

Any decent shop ought to be able to weld it back on and put a little gusset or two on the backside, that should be plenty.

Mine hasn't broken (yet), but I will probably pull it off this winter and weld a couple gussets on.

Not a huge deal IMO, you want a light bike that you can smash into stuff and this sort of thing happens.

When mine broke I just replaced it with a 1/8" piece of strap steel. Drilled 2 holes, attached it and haven't touched it for years.
