broke my subframe at englishtown this weekend. dont have the cash for a good one so i wanna just put a stocker on it for the rest of the season. question is is the older carb model bikes subframes the same as the R? theres a bunch on ebay but i am wondering if there interchangable.
thanks

Yes, the older subframes will work. I believe they are the same as long as you buy an oem one. The aftermarket subframes for the R are a little different.

See I was wrong lol. Good job BBC! Didn't think itd work considering everything else was changed. Learn something new everyday!

I'm happy with the JB 6pt on my R. The are expensive, but I can almost gurantee that will be the last subframe I ever buy.

They will fit. That is 1st hand experience. I used a stock 2004 YFZ subframe on my 2009 R and they matched up just fine. It lasted about 3 months until I cracked (seat jumping a few larger jumps.

Definitely consider JB or Walsh next year. The stock aluminum will continue to crack and break.
