I was just wondering how many of you 400 owners out there have that slightly bent to the right look on your subframes. Mine's been like that for a while. Before racing season starts back I plan on gettin a Tom Miller subframe. Supposed to be much stronger than stock and a little lighter. Seems to me that Honda just kinda screwed up on the subrame and swingarm of these bikes.

 

mine is bent.

 

mine is twisted just from a wheelie, i stood her up too high and the bar grabbed threw me off. It bent subframe and bent the grab bar straight up! I heated it and bent it and it broke!!! I welded her up but I had that sh##ty thin wall tubing!

 

actually mine had that slightly bent to the left look. haha
it was bent like a pretzel, and cracked right were that little black seat bumper sits.
i replaced it with a lonestar sub-frame and knock on wood so far so good.
i do alot of jumping so i hope it lasts.
