[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 949625, member: 6354"] The subframe cracks from overloading top cases result from a torque moment applied to the rear bulkhead. The top case, behind behind the rear bulkhead, wants to fall, and twists the rear bulkhead out at the top. Hanging the bike puts the subframe struts themselves in tension, and doesn't really affect the bulkhead that's been the center of the cracking issue. Different situation, although I'm still not sure it's a good idea. If I had to hang the bike, I'd probably use a strap where the rear subframe arms meet under the seat. [/QUOTE]
