[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 428503, member: 434"] Are you absolutely positive about the weight? If you had it crack in the far tail area using the factory mount and only had 7 pounds....then that's very odd. My subframe cracked because I was using a custom mount that only used three of the 5 securing points and was running more like 30 pounds. Also, the subframe has two distinct components to it. The area that a pillion sits on is different than the area that force is exerted with a Top Case. That area of the subframe is a cast unit of marginal quality metal that's then welded to other part that is square tubing. The square tubing is much better quality and fine. [/QUOTE]
