I haven't heard of any aftermarket companies building one yet,but we've been working with a local race car chassis builder who thinks he can build us an exact copy of the stock one out of chromemoly. We're going to make 10 on our initial run and see how they sell.Let me know if your interested.

Is there a problem with the stock 450R subframe? Me and a friend used to build chrome moly subframes and aluminum airboxes for the 400ex. He's done the same now for his YFZ450.

We got a lot of compliments, but were never able to sell many b/c the price. They were alot cheaper than any aftermarket companies, but nobody wanted to pay.

i would go with chormoly if mine broke. i just wondered if htere was one coming out that helped lower the seat or something? guess that would mess with all the plastic mounting and probably a biunch of other things
