So you did decide to change the subframe afterall, eh?
I think this new one will look kickass on the bike.

yes, much better then the old ones. Can't wait to see it in person
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

heres the new sub frame, ive got to do some more work on a battery box, its tight in that subby, not alot of room, and a little tig welding, a undertray has to be fabed as well.
the thing is basicly all there, the bike is filthy though, I guess thats me own fault taking out in the last few weeks when it was warmer but there was still lots of filth on the god damn Roads

I'll trade my Canadian winter for your winter in a heartbeat. "procreating" snow...
Bike looks better every time you post a pic. Keep up the great work.

Looks great.
An undertail exhaust system would finish it off beautifully.

Looks much better.
Meaner.
I'm not such a big fan of undertail exhausts as the alot of the media and factories are right now. They don't really 'do it' for me. But, that said, I think it might work pretty well on your bike.
Or something like Ducati uses on the S2R Monsters. Actually, that's what I'd do.....

Or if you can scrape up one of those new buell exhausts that fit completly under the bike... that wouldn't be bad either. I've been thinking about trying to cobble something like that together for mine.

I have always liked the under-engine muffler concept, and notice, not many others seem to, at least in the press and on other forums. Screw em, I say.
The hardest part you'll run into is the headers to route into the new muffler. That would be a custom made deal.... but not un-do-able.
