    I am doing some minor upgrades on my XR650R. This includes getting some additional reinforcements added to my aluminium sub frame since I like to ride long distance and load around 50lb on the back. I made a steel one a couple years back but it is bent - badly after a hard crash - it is very time consuming to make with around 12 or so precise connection points. I am looking to add some support triangles etc. (indicated by blue tape) to strengthen the notorious flimsy subframe. I will be adding the ManRacks brace that comes with the rack - this will add an additional bridge between the two sides of the subframe to prevent flex.

    Does anyone know of a recommended shop/ individual that could help me get this done?

    Appreciate the input!

    Did you ask Wayne Demonja? He probably could do it.

    Yeah I should hit him up. Not sure if it's too small a job for him.

    +1 for Edgewater Jeep. They did a good job on a swingarm for me.
