Alloy front subframe carby ss

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by Imola, Jan 15, 2013.

  1. Just wondering if anyone would be intrested in a ally front subframe which would be a exact copy of the heavy steel standard one.

    Why i ask is i know soneone who fabricates 851/888 front and rear alley sub frames and i asked him if he would biyld a ss front subframe but he needs to know if they would be in demand.

  2. Although I don't need one myself right now, I would think that there is / would be demand. They are easily bent in a spill and a bugger to straighten if they were ever straight to begin with. Second hand ones are becoming sought after.

  3. Potentially. Any idea of how much they are likely to be?

  4. Just testing the water!
    I know Pablo pirate wants one.
    but then he is a losing KG off his SS special tart! :biggrin:

    The 851/888 alloy stuff is selling like hot cakes on the 851/888 forum.

  8. Hi mate not built a carby one yet but the 888 front are looking to be around £200 -£250
    lots of lasercut brackets and welding involved but of course it all depends on numbers

  17. I can't keep spending out on an SS as much as I would like to, but..........if you make the SS ones, make sure you add a brace to each mirror stalk.......stop the b*ggers from vibrating.

  18. £150 is within reason. Good point on the braces.
     
    #18 supervee, Jan 21, 2013
  19. I need to spend £150 elsewhere, so I think I can put up with the one I had to straighten out a bit.........

    I think the braces could possibly get in the way so maybe a thicker tube might do it, or maybe a web from the 'inside' of the tube down to the speedo mount lugs....
