oldgrumps Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Question, is the air box subframe solid aluminium? Wanted to add a lifting strap to the rear fender bolts. Old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Lift by the tire or swingarm only. Otherwise something is going to give. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadof2 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Its just thin pressed aluminium sheet. When I was in trials where I might expect to lift the bike a bit i used to carry a long fan belt that I could loop through any part of the bike to lift or drag it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Subframe rails are cast alloy with a webbing in the hollows, They can break. If you have to lift it, in emergency pick it up near the bolts that hold it to the frame at it's strongest point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
