I was wondering if you guys think I need to keep the subframe braces in place. I have Pro pegs and an aluminum air box, so in the process of installing them I removed the braces.

If you think I should put them back on does anyone have a picture showing how the go back on. Its like a puzzle.

Thanks Rich

No you dont need them if you want to have them off you can. I think they are there to support the plastics though.

I would put them back on, I had mime off for a little while and I hit a jump, and the subframe twisted some. Mine are back on now. Better to be safe then sorry.
