I broke my front subframe (mirror, tacho mount thingie) on the 2004 R6 when I was man handeling it. It was slightly off center and when trying to straighten it, it came off in my hands. Darn weak shit on new bikes!

So I am after another one in good nick with no bends or damage. I am after a genuine Yamaha one too BTW.

Cheerio!

Vandal. You vandal!

How COULD you?

What a bugger. (Will ask some people today - no promises)

It's not that the bike's weak, it's cause you're so strong and manly

Kinda freaky.
The guy doing the last service on my R6 was telling me of a new 06 model he'd just patched up after a not too big a bird had gone THROUGH the radiator and mangled the fan behind.
Seems the fairings are now made out of a new plastic that has more in common with Tupperware than what we are used to - very very flexible...
All after more power for weight. Solid as the space shuttle maybe?

Damn straight buddy! I've got super powers. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Motoracer pulling a wheelie!

You should feel what my swing arm feels like. It's all hollow construction. Made out of tin from coke cans...

Thanks for the help guys, but never mind.

I'm getting a mate to buy me a new one of US for about NZD 300 landed. Pretty good I reckon.

Cheers!

You should get a jig made up by an engineer so that you can make them, and sell them to every other strong fulla that breaks theirs
