Long time customer discovered his DR650 subframe had cracked. Uses a Giant loop bag at the back of his rack, was too much for the subframe. I took some photos to show how we repaired it.
Cut the subframe off, machined up some slugs and did some rosette welds to hold it all together.
Had some Tenere engine paint, it’s a pretty good match.Yeah, great repair work Nick.
There is NO rear subframe to break there on a 690 Boulder,, The plastic rear tank is the entire back end :laugh:
That`s why I bought the double leg support Touratech rack setup for when carrying a load
Nice work Nick, great repair. Boulders right they aren’t known for breaking there more here
That one I believe was repaired twice (the welds are a give away) honestly but what has he been carrying?

IGoogle DR650 frame breakage / break etc and you will find it isnt a one off. They are under the pump when we load and ride them the way we do
I will start a rebuild thread on Strucky’s Tenere later, it had a massive hit. The hit was hard enough for both the bulbs to fly out of the holders in the headlight. The rear rack plate is bent, the hit was massive yet the frame apart from a radiator mount bent is 100%. Lefty and I have been amazed because it was cart wheeled at speed :ohmy:

yep good work there
