Subframe Strengthening

[Robster]

Read a thread on here a few weeks ago (I think, or else it might have been on ADV perhaps ) with a good write-up with pics of someone strengthening their subframe, showing all the bracing points etc etc... damned if I can find it now.

Any pointers anyone?

I think I read about it in the first sticky about round the world prepping.

Hmmm yeah I've read that whole thread a couple of times - but there was definitely another which had a real detailed how-to of the bracing and stuff...

Found this picture but don't where from. You can see the extra bits that have been welded on to strengthen it.

If it's for a R1150 GSA i've got a couple of pics on the blog,

Not much technical info, I know, but it gives you an idea.



Bugger, just seen what thread it's in but I'll leave it up anyway

Cheers chaps.

It's for my newly acquired X Challenge... although I do have an 1150 GSA too. If I keep overloading that the way I've been doing for the last few years I may need to sort that one too!

That's my doing that one,give me a bell if you want the same 01829 771040 ( that's the workshop number and 12-2 is the best time to call if you can manage it) I also moved the mounting lugs on the rear frame to fit some pannier rails.

That was on Magnos bike, so if you search his threads you might have more luck.
