R6 rear end
This winters project was to strip my bike down and have the frame powder coated, after stripping the frame down I found the rear end to be pitted with rust especially round the rear foot rest mounts. Rather than scrap the frame I thought I would have a go at grafting an R6 rear sub frame onto what was left of my frame. Here are the results
frame as it came off my bike looks ok but when I cleaned off the paint it was well pitted

Re: RUSTY R SEND
what was left of my frame
R6 rear sub frame
frame slugs made
R6 sub frame modded and offered up to TRX frame
brackets made for trx under tray
all seems square
frame and engine casings back from the powder coaters
with the rear end all fitted you can't see the R6 sub frame.
Big thank to my son Dan for all the welding and Paul for telling to go ahead and have a go and the R6 sub frame

Re: RUSTY R SEND
That's a job well done! what's the treatment on the swing arm? Is it just a buff?
It is time to rev your hearts!

Re: RUSTY R SEND
Nice job! I have a café racer setup but looking at S-F setup n' checking opt for ducktale selections to choose my liking...
Any issues securing the front of seat? Did u use standard slot/ bracket by tank?
