[QUOTE="garauld, post: 1288828, member: 371"] I have to partially disagree with this. They both are bandaids. Look at the pictures and imagine a load of say, 40# is placed on the Givi plate, what supports it? The subframe via the three mounting holes. The SR357 resists torquing of the rear of the subframe that supports the Givi plate, but does minimal to actually support the shear load which must be carried via the cast aluminum subframe. My stiffy kit is also designed to reduce the torque by the overhung load. I believe the combination of torque and repetitive loading cycles just fatigues the subframe and it breaks as shown on other thread photos. [/QUOTE]
