CandyRedRC46 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So I am looking for light weight subframe options and the 675 seems to have pretty similar mounting locations. I'm not saying it's a bolt on, but it looks like you could maybe get lucky and throw som spacers on the top mounting part and maybe not have to modify the bottom supports too much. Here's some google pictures comparing the two. PS the 675 subframe weighs 5.31 pounds!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer tbzep Posted February 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 15, 2014 Is this an old Daytona subframe that houses an undertail exhaust? If so, do you plan to use their ugly mass of a single can? If this is a new Daytona subframe, they have belly exhausts. Are you planning to do away with the undertail and go with a single side can?

CandyRedRC46 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is the old body style. I would just adapt my current exhaust to make it work with the center tail location. (I have a fifth gen two brothers racing full system, adapted to work with my two brothers slip on. The single pipe with a dummy can.)

Noobtastic14 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 You took my subframe dislike to the next level! Looks like a solid start, I will be patiently waiting for updates. -Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobtastic14 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If I didn't want my OEM luggage, corbin seat+backrest, and Passenger grab handles for the wife I would be doing pretty much the same thing. If I get something even more comfortable for her, I may follow your lead and still do it. -Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mello dude Posted February 16, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 16, 2014 Curious, so what did the 6th gen subframe weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Estimated 25ish pounds. I have read 22-28 pounds from a few sources. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondeaux Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 HI - so did you do the rear conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Nope. Life and car projects keep getting in the way. Still thinking about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The first pic in CR's first post is a 2002 R6 subframe, and it looks like this on a 4th Gen: And as CR says of the 675 tail, waaay lighter than the VFR boat anchor of a subframe.

Rhondeaux Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Looks awesome! I am trying to decide which rear end to put on my 4 gen, once I finish the front end conversions (currently putting the front end of a 2008 CBR600RR on it). Lots of information but very scattered....hard to tell which way to go How did you find the R6 tail conversion? Pretty easy or hard....and many tricky bits?

Rhondeaux Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 ...and Candyred... Did you check to see how hard it would be to fit? (i.e. how closely do the mounting points come?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nope I have not done any real world subframe testing or measuring, I have only done internet eyeballing and internet engineering, but I have had to remove and reinstall the factory subframe while doing the brake delink for my R1 front end and I can tell you, that, that was not fun lol. I do really want to continue with my VFR build (New fairings, 675 subframe, Ducati 1098 rear wheel, Forged R1 front wheel, Engine Work), but I have a pretty big list of car projects right now: BMW 328i (Fiancee's) Down Pipe install. (AFE Down Pipe is being a bitch and not quite lining up. Apparently AFE's first batch of down pipes was a little off) Acura Integra (Supposed to be my daily driver) needs new ball joints, coil overs and a few leaks fixed. (Money and time) 1992 Civic Hatch SI (project car) Needs an engine rebuild/swap, suspension and body work. (BIG $$$$$ AND TIME) Its hard to tear into the bike right now, when its currently the most reliable vehicle I own. The VFR is mechanically perfect and a complete F@#$ing blast to ride at the moment, so it has been put on the side burner in "If it aint broke, dont fix it" mode since I completed the suspension/Exhaust/Rapidbike goodies.

Voided76 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 MAN that's too bad. having done all the "easy" and "cheaper" things plus the rapidbike, I'm like your lil bastard kid come modding time. I'm interested lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65matt Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hey, did you ever fit this subframe to see how close it fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Nope, sorry, I got married and bought a house. All modding is on hold for a while, until I can catch back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
