    Looking for a subframe as I'm fed up of the poorly fitting tail unit with the standard kit...
    Motoholders? Hrc? Way to expensive into opinion! Any other options???
    Want to stay with standard loom for now but she's a track/race bike so no gubbins to worry about
    Ta :)

    Yeah it's a bit rattly and there's no where to properly fix it down. I've made a bit of an adapter plate but it's not great.
    What do you bolt yours too???

    There is mine stripped tail unit bolts to fibreglass seat section as in pic
    My tail would nt fit as standard as subframe bolt at rear fouls narrow slimline tail so it has been cut out (I bridged it lower down) but pro fibre do a modded unit in which bolt has been turned 90 degrees but I rammed some sponge in the tail as it rattled about initially.... It's slightly different to yours

    the two rear bolts on the seat unit in that pic have been drilled and tapped into sub frame.......

    Nylon Rod is your friend!

    Cheap as Chips to buy, cut down to suit and screw seat unit straight in to it once correct length is found and is secured from underneath.
