Thinking of doing (having someone make one or help them make it) a custom minimalist subframe/tail for my 2011 Speed Triple. It will bolt onto the stock subframe tabs on the rear of the frame.
What tubing (chromoly, stainless)? Would like to stay away from aluminum just for ease of welding. Can chromoly and stainless be formed, as in a curve bent into it?)
What's the smallest diameter I can get away with? This will be a solo seat, the only thing it'll have to hold up is me and the CDI and relays. Battery on this bike is under the front of the gas tank.
Was thinking of something similar to these ideas. Basically I want as little of the tubing or subframe to be visible as possible.
Those this Joe Kopp RS Racecraft bike uses CNC'd plates, it's sort of the look I'm going for.
