[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 699394, member: 434"] Yes changing lights are now a pain and the windows the welder put it don't really work. That's why I converted to LED brake lights per this [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=125167&hl=superbrightleds"]recent write-up[/URL]. Givi nor Yamaha top box will not work with my cell and I didn't really want something that big or expensive to begin with. The reason the subframe broke was because of the lever-arm motion of my poor initial design...not the static weight. I'm fairly sure if I had tied into the existing rack with my latter design that the stock subframe probably wouldn't have broken. This write-up was VERY specific to an unusual configuration that few except LD loonies will encounter. I copied it MAINLY so people can see the removal process for the subframe. [/QUOTE]
